Charity

Credit Suisse's philanthropic commitments demonstrate its awareness that companies are dependent on the existence of a stable environment both for themselves and their employees.

Credit Suisse thus lends its support to social, charitable and cultural projects and institutions - focusing primarily on the areas in which it operates as a business.

Promoting outstanding musical talent

Credit Suisse plays an important role in the promotion of young talent in the field of classical music, as well as in other areas. For example, the company created the "Credit Suisse Young Artist Award" and the "Prix Credit Suisse Jeunes Solistes" in order to help extremely gifted young musicians to achieve the breakthrough to an international career.

Commitment to education and training

Training is the most important investment in people - both in industrialized nations and in emerging and developing countries. Based on this belief, Credit Suisse lends its support to numerous education and training initiatives. These activities range from library initiatives in the US and a project to promote professional training in South Africa to the construction of schools in China, Vietnam, Thailand and Cambodia.

Corporate volunteering

Credit Suisse's involvement goes beyond financial donations and material contributions: in accordance with the concept of "corporate volunteering", it also encourages its employees to volunteer their services to support philanthropic projects. This not only generates benefits for society but also for the employees themselves by promoting abilities such as social skills and teamwork and establishing informal networks.
