Our purpose is integral to the value we create as a business and it's shared story of why we do what we do.

Our Code of Conduct
The trust that our clients, communities and our people place in PwC, and our high standards of ethical behaviour, are fundamental to everything we do. As we go about our work it’s important we have a frame of reference for the decisions we make every day. Our Code of Conduct (Code) can guide us, no matter where we are or what we do. It's how we do business.
The Code reinforces the importance of conducting business within the framework of professional standards, laws, and regulations, together with our own policies, values, and standards, even as we work across borders. It outlines the values and behaviours that define how we do business. It holds us accountable to be open-minded and responsive and to give our best.
What we achieve as PwC is entirely dependent on how we all individually put our purpose and our values at the centre of everything we do – every day, in every action. So let’s work together to build trust and solve important problems. Let’s encourage collaboration, cultivate curiosity and innovation, act with integrity and foster a sense of care, always.
Human Rights Statement
PwC serves clients and communities around the world, working to achieve our Purpose: to build trust in Society and solve important problems. Every day, we come together to make this happen, and whether we’re working with PwC people or others, we depend on each other to be mindful of our ethical responsibilities.
Our approach to human rights is already well integrated into our existing business practices, for example as part of our Human Capital, Procurement, Ethics & Compliance and Corporate Responsibility activities.
Our unwavering commitment to human rights is demonstrated through our actions, our involvement in voluntary initiatives like the UN Global Compact and our Global Human Rights Statement.
Our approach to corporate responsibility and inclusion and diversity
We value responsibility and sustainability
Responsibility and sustainability are part of the mission statement for most companies. But for us, it's part of our everyday work experience. After all, if you offer the best advice you must also lead by example. Are we perfect? Of course we're not. But we work hard every day to become even better.
Diversity and inclusion – that's our focus
We see diversity and inclusion as business imperatives not just nice-to-haves: we respect and value differences. We do so in the knowledge that we create the most value when people from different backgrounds and with different points of view work together. Be yourself. Be unique. At PwC Switzerland.
PwC's Ethics Helpline
Speaking up to raise a concern of any type is crucial to our culture at PwC and our purpose.
My vision as CEO of PwC Switzerland is to be an equal opportunity and equal salary employer. I am proud that we have achieved an official certification of equal compensation between women and men by the Equal-Salary Foundation.
