* The “GoGreen-account” was awarded the Austrian Environmental Certificate by the Austrian Federal Ministry for Sustainability and Tourism because the projects financed through the deposits in this account take account of ecological and social criteria besides economic considerations. The Environmental Certificate is a guarantee that these criteria and their implementation are suitable for selecting specific projects. This was verified by an independent body. The award of the Austrian Environmental Certificate does not constitute any economic evaluation and is not an indicator for the financial product’s future performance.
