Sustainable commitment
Strategy
The world is changing and our customers' expectations are higher: transparency, responsibility and positive impact are the guiding principles.
Our ambition is clear: to be a financial player that supports the transition to a sustainable economy, reconciling economic performance with environmental and social responsibility.
We want to emphasise our commitment to our convictions, and the concept of sustainability is intrinsically linked to our values.
Our five strategic avenues
We’ve set up an ESG Committee and marked out five avenues for driving tangible progress.
Carbon footprint
We’ve pledged to cut our emissions by 50% between now and 2030.
- We’re launching initiatives that will reduce our energy use and we’re introducing a new mobility policy
- We develop sustainable investment solutions aligned with our clients' convictions and their desire to take action for the transition
- Within Bonhôte Immobilier SICAV, we’re setting clear, measurable goals in terms of the energy used by the buildings in our investment portfolio, and we apply specific criteria when acquiring new properties.
Diversity & Inclusion
We have developed an employer brand that is tailored and targeted to meet the expectations of different generations, promoting a better understanding of customers and creating a more harmonious working environment that fosters well-being and innovation.
- We ensure that recruitment is fair and based on equal opportunity, and we have an equal pay policy that guarantees equitable recognition across genders, skills and professions
- We maintain equal pay in accordance with Fair-On-Pay certification, to ensure fair recognition across genders, skills and professions
- We prioritise emerging talent by placing our graduate hires on an equal footing with more experienced colleagues.
Staff engagement
Through clear and transparent communication, we’re creating a positive, collective and lasting impact.
- We encourage our staff to take part in community initiatives that promote sustainability, by offering dedicated volunteering days
- We conduct regular satisfaction surveys to hear from our teams and share the findings so that we can drive improvement together
- We encourage human leadership by training our managers to promote listening, autonomy and trust.
Supply chain sustainability
The sustainability of our supply chain is based on a clear approach: greater proximity, greater transparency, greater sustainability.
- We prioritise local providers in order to reduce our carbon footprint and support the regional economy
- We ensure responsible procurement by requiring suppliers to sign our Sustainability Charter
- We promote the use of renewable energy at our head office –and soon at our branch offices as well.
Community impact
More than simply a business, we recognise our responsibility to society and culture in the communities where we do business.
That’s why we champion local artists, culture and sports through specific partnerships, sponsorships and patronage programmes.
We’re committed to nurturing Switzerland’s vibrant arts and culture for generations to come.
B Corp certification

Since 2021 Bonhôte has been awarded the global B Corp certification and obtained recertification in 2025 after a stringent assessment process that included a comprehensive review of its business activities, thereby acknowledging its long-standing dedication to CSR issues.
This accolade, considered one of the most exacting certifications in the sphere of social responsibility and sustainability, substantiates the bank’s day-to-day commitment to the planet and society at large.
This certification was granted following a thorough analysis of the bank’s impact on customers, employees, the community and the environment. It recognises Bonhôte’s strong CSR (corporate social responsibility) performance and marks the first step in a process of continuous improvement.
Swiss Impact Forum
As part of our continuing dedication to ESG issues, we are pleased to announce that Bonhôte has been named principal partner of the Swiss Impact Forum. This event, to be held in Bern on 12 November, will focus on the theme of Moving from impact to lasting prosperity.
This Forum brings together business executives, sustainability experts, policymakers, academics, and entrepreneurs leveraging collective intelligence to further explore the shift from impact-driven focus to long-term prosperity. The programme is designed to foster collaboration, deepen resilience, and empower leaders to champion a new kind of prosperity, one that creates lasting value not just for business, but for society and the planet as a whole.
Kim-Andrée Potvin, Bank's Bonhôte CEO, quotes: «This year’s SIF theme resonates strongly with Banque Bonhôte’s lasting engagement on responsible behavior with all stakeholders: clients, employees, and local entrepreneurship. I am looking forward to enthusiastic exchanges on innovative ideas in the forum’s deep dives».
