Sustainability at Avadis Vorsorge AG

Words and deeds. We deliver what we promise.

Sustainability – an important matter

The topic of sustainability is broadly anchored in our company and covers the areas of environment, social affairs and corporate governance. The sustainable investment of the assets entrusted to us is of great importance.

Environment

Reduction of CO2 emissions

We continuously reduce our energy and resource requirements. CO2 emissions that cannot be avoided are fully compensated for by myclimate. We encourage our employees to use public transport by offering them a half-fare season ticket. For business trips by car, we use a Mobility subscription.  

Social affairs

Donations

We regularly support aid and other non-profit organisations in Switzerland and abroad.

Support in education

We are partner of libs, the leading training company in the Swiss engineering, electrical and metal industry. Together we regularly train apprentices. We also offer several internships.

Promoting the reconciliation of work and family life

We support our employees with professional, external childcare and encourage part-time work at all levels.

Corporate Governance

Code of Conduct

Our employees are subject to a code of conduct. It describes how employees avoid conflicts of interest and prohibits all activities that result in unapproved additional income in connection with the Avadis position. The Code of Conduct is based on the ASIP-Charta. An important framework for the daily work is the «Prudent Man Rule».

Compliance Office

We have a Compliance Office, which is organisationally and personnel-wise separate from the business units, which monitors and enforces compliance with legal, regulatory and internal requirements.

Staff Council

We have an internal employee representation (employee council) with extensive rights of participation and co-determination. The employees' council represents the overall interests of all employees vis-à-vis the employer.
