Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility at Credit Suisse

We be­lieve that our re­spons­ible ap­proach to busi­ness is a de­cis­ive factor de­term­in­ing our long-?term suc­cess. The "State­ment on Sus­tain­ab­il­ity" is based on our Code of Con­duct and ex­plains how we aim to ad­dress en­vir­on­ment­al and so­cial is­sues when per­form­ing our activ­it­ies as a bank.

Environmental Sustainability

We take en­vir­on­ment­al im­pacts into ac­count when con­duct­ing our busi­ness. We do this by de­vel­op­ing sus­tain­able products and ser­vices and ad­dress­ing sus­tain­ab­il­ity is­sues in our risk man­age­ment. Im­ple­ment­ing vari­ous op­er­a­tion­al meas­ures helps us to re­duce our en­vir­on­ment­al foot­print.

Community Impact and Philanthropy

We work with our cli­ents to help them in­cor­por­ate their per­son­al val­ues and ob­ject­ives in their phil­an­throp­ic strategy. We can also cre­ate sub­found­a­tions for them under one of Cred­it Suisse's um­brella char­it­able found­a­tions. In this way, we seek to help them make a great­er and sus­tain­able so­cial im­pact in the areas that are im­port­ant for them.
We provide a set of tools designed to contribute to making a measurable impact and help tackle social or environmental challenges through philanthropy. We offer solutions for the establishment and management of a client's charitable structure. These solutions may include input into the governance framework and services relating to investment strategy and asset management. Our client foundation offering provides an alternative for clients to creating a charitable foundation of their own.
