2005 Annual Report Julius Baer Holding Ltd. - GAM Holding AG

Corporate Center
28
Our model of sustainable corporate
development gives us an effective
instrument to continually optimize our
corporate goal of generating the greatest
possible added value for our clients,
shareholders and employees as well as
for other stakeholder groups on all levels
of the organization in the spirit of
sustainability.
The 2005 financial year was primarily
influenced by the acquisition of the
three private banks Ehinger & Armand
von Ernst AG, Ferrier Lullin & Cie SA and
BDL Banco di Lugano as well as the
asset manager GAM Holding AG from
UBS. The aforementioned sustainability
model, among other things, will play an
important role in the successful integration
of these new entities. The Julius
Baer Group will therefore dedicate part
of its management resources to fundamentally
cultivating and optimally applying
the elements of sustainability in the
new organization as swiftly as possible.
The Julius Baer Group is convinced that
a sustainable corporate design which
stems from internal conviction will bring
major advantages. It will therefore maintain
its commitment to sustainability.

development model of the Julius
Baer Group and its underlying principles
