Crédit Agricole next bank continues to advance its corporate social responsibility (CSR) journey, which began in 2022. In line with its longstanding commitment to CSR, the Bank is, for the fourth consecutive year, dedicating 1% of its 2025 profits to fund around ten societal projects.

A collaborative approach that strengthens connections

Believing that engagement grows from participation, all employees were invited in September 2025 to submit project proposals. Following a presentation and deliberation phase, the CSR Steering Committee, in collaboration with the Compliance department, selected ten projects from the twenty submissions received.

Beyond financial support, this initiative embodies a deeper purpose: actively involving employees in meaningful projects and sharing values of solidarity and mutual aid. It has also fostered stronger bonds among colleagues, creating a collective momentum around causes that matter to the Bank and its teams.

Supporting those building a better future

This initiative aligns with a long-term and engaged vision, focusing on three main areas:

  • Protecting and restoring the environment
  • Supporting individuals in difficulty or in need
  • Strengthening ties between Switzerland and Europe

The Steering Committee prioritizes local organizations with strong community roots, human-scale operations, and active presence in Switzerland and neighboring France, with headquarters in Switzerland.

Turning values into action

This program is more than a financial contribution—it transforms values into tangible actions, encourages solidarity within our ecosystem, and mobilizes attention around pressing societal challenges.
