In 2016, the United Nations presented its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Since then, these have become a focus of all investors, along with the topic of ESG. The 17 goals are part of a plan to combat global problems and promote peace, prosperity and protection of the planet. For example, SDG Goal 7 relates to, among other things, the promotion of sustainable energy sources, while the achievement of Goal 13 requires measures and solutions to combat climate change and its consequences.

Wind power has several environmental advantages over fossil energy. Not only is it available in unlimited quantities, but it requires fewer raw materials such as water for production and is less CO2-intensive. Many developed countries are therefore continuously increasing the share of wind power in their energy mix, leading to growth in this sector. This not only benefits the environment, but also the companies operating in this sector. Manufacturers of wind turbines, their suppliers and project developers involved in the development and operation of wind farms are on the upswing. This is also shown by the performance of the tracker certificate on the ZKB MeinIndex Sustainable Wind Index (+89% since January 2020).

The Danish company Vestas is one of the largest producers of wind turbines and has grown impressively, which is also reflected in the share price. Denmark in particular is increasing investment in (offshore) wind energy and plans to build two new power plants by 2030. The German company Nordex is also considered one of the leading manufacturers of wind turbines and has developed positively over the past year. Siemens, as a manufacturer of energy systems and the main shareholder of Siemens Energy and Siemens Gamesa is widely diversified and has a solid business model.
