Social Commitments in EMEA
Credit Suisse supports partners across Europe, the Middle East and Africa in places where we have a presence. Project support focuses on education and employability and financial investments through the Credit Suisse EMEA Foundation are leveraged by our employees lending their skills and expertise.
Overview
Credit Suisse supports a range of initiatives across Europe, the Middle East and South Africa and is committed to improving the communities where we work. As part of that pledge to corporate citizenship, Credit Suisse partners with charities through direct financial donations as well as contributions of our time and professional skills. Collaboratively, we are making a positive impact on individual lives resulting in stronger communities. We believe that forming long-term partnerships with a select group of charities allows us to make a meaningful impact in the community and we concentrate our grant making on organizations working to bridge the gap from education to employment. In addition to grants made through the Credit Suisse EMEA Foundation, we also encourage our employees to become active volunteers and donors through a variety of schemes including our Charity of the Year and various employability and mentoring programs.
