Your goals
Clear responsibilities, risk-based decision-making processes, transparent organisational structures and careful checks and balances are essential factors in the compliance and reputation of every company. They influence a company's strategic positioning, credibility, and last but not least, its valuation. Our clients are private and public companies and their managers seek the support of our specialists for modern corporate and public governance.

From the magazine
CO-CSR-Report - article 964bis CO
With the rejection of the corporate responsibility initiative, the indirect counter-proposal comes into play, which introduces new mandatory reporting obligations in the Code of Obligations and in criminal law. Depending on the size and the sector of the company, it will have to account for environmental concerns, social concerns, employee concerns, respect for human rights, the fight against corruption and compliance with due diligence obligations for minerals and metals originating from conflict and high-risk areas, as well as for products or services where child labour is suspected.
The conversion of bearer shares to registered
The bearer share, which has already been abolished as of November 1, 2019, is no longer permitted, with two exceptions, and all bearer shares still existing on May 1, 2021, will be converted into registered shares by law.
