CSR at Piguet Galland: a responsible strategy for a sustainable future
In recent years, Piguet Galland has solidified its reputation not only as a high-performing private bank but also as an employer committed to responsible finance. Our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives reflect a modern vision of our role as a financial player, aiming to balance economic performance, employee well-being, environmental impact, and civic engagement.
An ethical and inclusive corporate culture
Our CSR strategy is built on a foundation of core values: ethics, respect, and fairness. We strive to create an inclusive work environment where diversity is valued, and everyone can fully thrive. At Piguet Galland, we go beyond words: diversity and inclusion are embedded in our daily management. In fact, nearly 40% of our management positions are held by women, well above the sector average.
We have also implemented a fair, auditable, and transparent salary policy, ensuring that each employee is remunerated justly and in line with their responsibilities. This rigorous approach to human resources management reflects our commitment to remain an attractive employer in a competitive sector while contributing to a fairer society.
Skills Development and Internal Mobility
In a constantly evolving financial sector, adaptability and continuous learning are essential. We invest in personalised and innovative training programmes that enhance our employees' employability and enable them to adapt to new technological and regulatory challenges. This approach aims to make every employee an active participant in their own development while ensuring our competitiveness by relying on skilled and motivated staff.
Environmental commitment: towards sustainable finance
Our commitment to the environment extends beyond our banking activities, encompassing active efforts to reduce our carbon footprint. We have implemented sustainable energy management practices within our offices.
This commitment is also reflected in our investment offerings: our ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) investment strategy meets the growing demand for responsible solutions, particularly among younger generations. We now integrate these criteria into our decision-making process to encourage a more sustainable economy.
Partnership and civic responsibility
We encourage our teams to engage in civic and local initiatives, strengthening our regional presence. By supporting cultural, social, and community projects, we aim to be a player that not only drives economic prosperity but also contributes to the well-being of our community.
Certifications and awards: recognition of our commitment
Recognition of our CSR approach through certifications and prestigious awards validates our dedication. The B Corp™ certification, our inclusion among the Best Place to Work™ in Switzerland and in the Romandy region, and the 2024 Equality Prize awarded by the Geneva Chamber of Commerce, Industry, and Services are testament to our commitment to going beyond mere compliance to create genuine positive impact.
CSR: a long-term vision
At Piguet Galland, CSR is not a one-off objective but a continuous process of progress that enables us to anticipate and innovate in an ever-changing world. By focusing on diversity, well-being, and the environment, we are building a future where finance aligns with responsibility and commitment.
Piguet Galland is dedicated to pursuing this approach, making CSR a transformative lever in service of a more sustainable and inclusive society.
