Frankfurt, November 21, 2019 – CORESTATE Capital Holding S.A. (CORESTATE), a leading European real estate investment manager, is implementing important measures to promote women as part of its Group-wide ESG strategy. Internally, the company has initiated the CORESTATE WOMEN network, which is exclusively aimed at women. CORESTATE also actively supports the promotion of women as a sponsor of the still young “Fondsfrauen” association, an independent career network in the investment fund industry.
Lars Schnidrig, CEO of CORESTATE Capital Group: “We take the social aspects of our ESG strategy very seriously. At this level, we have a clear direction throughout the Group, namely increasing diversity and caring for all our employees and ensuring their commitment to the company by showing dedication and pursuing their targeted further development.”
CORESTATE WOMEN started its mission to promote the exchange of experiences, inspiration and cooperation, to promote personal potential and careers through professional development and to form an integrative community. The most important initiatives are networking events – including guest speakers from the real estate industry –, a mentoring program and regular updates via newsletters.
By sponsoring the “Fondsfrauen” career network, the employees of the CORESTATE Group benefit from an up-and-coming association that counts more than 2,000 highly qualified women, many in management positions in the financial sector as its members. Among other things, joint events and the use of the mentoring network of “Fondsfrauen” are planned. “We are delighted that CORESTATE joined us as corporate partner. It demonstrates their commitment to gender diversity and shows that the “S” in ESG is equally important in sustainability”, says Anne E. Connelly, co-founder and managing director of Fondsfrauen.
