FRAISA Social Commitment
Ownership obligates: Since 2014, FRAISA SA in Bellach has donated 1% of the Group's profit (according to Swiss GAAP FER) to social causes each year. In 2023, the allocation of the FRAISA social percentage was extended to the international subsidiaries. All FRAISA country subsidiaries now receive an individual share each year to support social institutions and projects in their country. In total, more than CHF 1 million in social support contributions have already been distributed as part of the FRAISA Social Percentage. This has enabled us to make a sustainable contribution to the implementation and maintenance of social institutions and projects.
