Our commitment to the community
Projects to promote stability and development
As an employer, taxpayer and active participant in economic life, we help to drive regional value creation at our locations. We are also committed to topics and projects that are relevant to the stability and development of the communities.
We have defined clear criteria to serve as guidance in the assessment of sponsorship and social commitments.
Member of the Corporate Support Group of ICRC
Vontobel is a member of the Corporate Support Group, established by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and selected Swiss companies. Thanks to this innovative, long-term partnership, we will be able to provide continuous and efficient humanitarian aid worldwide over the coming years. As part of this partnership, we are launching an internal fundraising initiative for the benefit of the ICRC both in November and December.
Peter Maurer, President ICRC, about the importance of the Corporate Support Group and the changing role of the ICRC in light of globally ongoing conflicts.
Supporter of the Munich Security Conference
Vontobel is a supporter of the internationally renowned Munich Security Conference (MSC). The MSC's objective is to build trust and to contribute to the peaceful resolution of conflicts by sustaining a continuous, curated and informal dialogue within the international security community. It offers protected space for informal meetings between officials and thus – as its original motto has it – build peace through dialogue.
Promotion of modern art
In addition to expanding our own collection of art on a regular basis, we also support leading institutions for modern art at selected locations. For example, Vontobel is a sponsor of PIN, the Friends of Pinakothek der Moderne, the modern art museum in Munich.
