  • strengthening your company’s corporate social responsibility strategy

  • achieving market development goals through sponsorship

  • winning over employees and customers through the meaningfulness of the corporate activity

Partnership models and philanthropy

We offer a range of partnership models and opportunities for sponsorship and social commitment. Be inspired.

Official partnership: tailored strategic cooperation

An official partnership is the strongest and closest model of partnership with the SRC. As an official partner, you support a humanitarian area suited to you or a service in Switzerland as well as the general work of the SRC. We offer tailored, strategically sound, comprehensive cooperation. In return, you can incorporate the partnership in your communications and position your company in terms of the shared social commitment.

Example of an SRC partnership: Helsana helps to ensure that as many people as possible can provide first aid.

Project partner: targeted aid

As a project partner, you financially support a humanitarian project lasting several years in Switzerland or abroad. This gives you a targeted insight into an issue and information on the impact of your commitment. With an emergency relief partnership, your confirmed annual contribution can rapidly enable aid in the event of disasters and promote important disaster prevention.

Through your project partnership, you make clear your company's social commitment and benefit from a positive image transfer as well as specific communication rights.

Example partnership project: AXA supports the Red Cross vacation for children from war and crisis zones.

Promotional partner: sales-dependent donations

As a promotional partner, you carry out short-term sales promotions with the SRC, providing your specialist expertise. The SRC receives a certain percentage / fixed amount for each item sold or benefits from a waiver of fees.
