FRAISA Social Commitment
With ownership comes responsibility: Since 2014, FRAISA SA in Bellach has donated 1 % of the Group's profit (according to Swiss GAAP FER) annually to social causes. In nine years, a total of around 995,000 Swiss francs in contributions have been awarded through FRAISA Social Commitment. This represents an impressively sustainable contribution to the implementation and maintenance of social institutions and projects in Switzerland.
From 2023, the award of FRAISA’s 1% for Social Commitment will be extended to include the international branches. Every FRAISA national company will receive their individual share for allocation to social institutions in their country on the basis of an internal distribution key.
