• Editorial: Shareholder voting rights have an economic value
• Nestlé: Yes to the complete revision of the by-laws
• Submitting the remuneration policy to shareholder vote
• Socially responsible investment: High growth in Switzerland
• Violations of human rights and Internet companies

The Ethos Investment Focus (only available in French or German) is the management report of the various segments of Ethos' institutional investment fund as well as of the investment fund "Pictet-Ethos (CH) Swiss Sustainable Equities". We note that since the beginning of the year all equities segments provided rejoicing performances.
