Playing an active role in the community

Our local community is important to us, and we take our responsibilities as a corporate citizen in the Canton of Vaud seriously. In addition to the economic aspects of our mission, we provide support for cultural and sporting activities as well as outreach initiatives.

More specifically, we regularly organize programs allowing staff members to take part in humanitarian and environmental initiatives in association with nongovernmental organizations. We once again worked with the Mère Sofia Foundation on this front in 2009, when nearly 60 employees volunteered to raise money by selling care packages at open-air markets across the Canton, with all proceeds going to the Foundation.

The Bank’s sponsorship policy gives preference to non-profit activities which are of public interest in Vaud, focusing on the fields of culture, training and teaching, sports, the environment and research.
