Credit Suisse. Our company.
We build lasting value by serving our clients with care and entrepreneurial spirit.
The Credit Suisse Group purpose is at the core of everything we do. It underpins the value we create and has powered our progress for more than 160 years. It captures the essence of 'why' we exist as an organization. It motivates us when we come to work every day and serves as our North Star when we make decisions. Ultimately, it serves to define who we are and what we should be doing for our employees, clients and stakeholders. A revised code of conduct aligned to our new cultural values is available here: credit-suisse.com/codeofconduct
Credit Suisse’s Group strategy has a clear focus on strengthening and simplifying the integrated model and investing in sustainable growth, while placing risk management at the very core of the Bank. With a global business and regional structure, Credit Suisse strengthens cross-divisional collaboration within the Bank to promote sustainable growth and economic profit.
We serve our clients through four divisions: Wealth Management, Investment Bank, Swiss Bank and Asset Management. The global divisions are complemented by four strong regions: Switzerland, EMEA, APAC and Americas. This approach is reinforcing the integrated model with global businesses and strong regional client accountability.
Credit Suisse continues to lead the bank and our clients into a sustainable future. The bank will build on its provision of sustainable investment solutions to clients through its ESG product offering and will be partnering with corporate clients to finance their sustainable transition.
