Our employees are committed to volunteer work.

The Zurich Community Day

One day a year that counts twice.

We offer our employees the opportunity to use one work day per year for voluntary community work.

Whether cooking in Pastor Siebers Sunestube, an assignment with proNatura in a nature reserve or as a weather researcher in school - every commitment is worthwhile twice over:

the Z Zurich Foundation makes a contribution for each accomplished Community Day, which we can donate to a charitable organization.

Our commitment to the environment

Zurich Natural Hazard Radar

The Zurich Natural Hazard Radar provides a sound site analysis for every property in Switzerland. And tips on how they can be protected against natural hazards. This pays off, as every franc invested saves up to 10 francs in consequential costs.
