Contributing to the development of all sectors of the economy of our home region, the Canton of Vaud

Article 4 of the LBCV requires the Bank to contribute to the development of all areas of the private-sector economy, to the financing of public-sector entities and to mortgage lending within the Canton.

The amended Act that took effect on 1 April 2007 extends the scope of Article 4, which stipulates that BCV shall offer the full range of financial products and services and that the Bank must have a particular concern for the development of the Canton's economy, in keeping with the principles of economically, environmentally, and socially sustainable development.
