EMEA Philanthropy
Credit Suisse supports a range of initiatives across Europe, Middle East and Africa where we have business operations. Project support focuses on education and participation and is established through long-term partnerships.
Overview
Credit Suisse supports a range of philanthropic initiatives across Europe, Middle East and 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 our corporate philanthropy, we also encourage our employees to become active volunteers and donors through a variety of schemes including our Charity of the Year program, the Professional Development in the Community programs and various tutoring and mentoring initiatives with local partner schools.
