Employee engagement. Leveraging the expertise of our employees.

Together with our employees, we work with selected partner organizations to help strengthen our society and address social issues. We strive to build a more inclusive future, where all people can access the resources and develop the financial, entrepreneurial, and other skills to thrive in the economy and society.

Employee Engagement

Within our three main themes, we focus primarily on building the capacity of our partners. Our employees play a key role in this approach and in our broader commitment to society. In 2022, they dedicated over 125,000 hours of their time and expertise through volunteering activities. As part of the bank’s human capital strategy, we allow each employee to devote up to four days per year to support our global partners or social initiatives in the communities where we live and work. While the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the expansion of our virtual volunteering programs, the lifting of the restrictions in many locations brought a welcome return to in-person volunteering in 2022.

Credit Suisse employees around the world dedicated over 44,000 hours to skills-based volunteering. Participating in volunteering activities together has been an important component of our back-to-office strategy and team-building efforts post COVID-19. Its impact is still noticeable, but we are proud of the fact that 36% of our eligible employees globally participated (via both volunteering and other activities) in our Corporate Citizenship programs in 2022.

Corporate Citizenship. Empowering People.

Together with our employees we work with selected partner organizations to help strengthen our society and to address social issues. Together, we strive to build a more inclusive future where all people can access the resources and develop the financial, entrepreneurial and other skills to thrive in the economy and society. As part of this commitment we set three focus themes: Financial Inclusion, Financial Education and Future Skills.

In addition, we also provide opportunities for our employees to support local organizations in other topics in the communities where we live and work through a number of programs.
