Our Culture
Over 3'485 people from 84 nations – diverse and committed
'Building Relationships - Creating Value' is our motto. We have more than 3'485 people from 84 nations, so our workforce is as diverse as our ideas. Together, we create our distinctive values: personal and business, economic and ecological, and social and ethical. And the people we work for are just as varied as the people who work for us.
Our Purpose
Our Purpose is to build trust in society and solve important problems.
In an increasingly complex world, we help intricate systems function, adapt and evolve so they can benefit communities and society – whether they are capital markets, tax systems or the economic systems within which business and society exist. We help our clients to make informed decisions and operate effectively within them.
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 People Value Proposition (PVP)

Be well, work well
Energising and empowering our people
PwC has launched a firm wide effort - Be well, work well - to empower our people to prioritize their well-being through the four dimensions of energy. Be well, work well is more than hitting the gym and eating healthy. It’s about energising our people to be their best - at work and at home.
Well-being is a state of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual energy balance. It implies a sense of thriving, enjoying life to the full and allows us to live and work at our best, bringing our whole self to whatever we are doing. It’s all about everyday behaviours and habits focused on fuelling the four dimensions of our energy—proven to help us become and sustain our best selves, both personally and professionally
PwC offers a number of possibilities that help you keep your energy reserves in tip-top order – from Flexible Working Models, healthy nutrition, sport courses, fun events to relaxing rooms and much more.
We’re all on first name terms
One thing symbolising our Values most clearly is the way everyone, from apprentices to the CEO, is on first name terms.
Corporate Responsibility
Building trust in society and solving problems is at the heart of everything we do
Driven by our purpose and values, we are making an impact in our communities and delivering business value by helping create a more equitable society.
Our understanding of corporate responsibility is a long-term commitment to employees, business partners, the environment and society. This creates a basis for reciprocity, respect and trust.
Smarter business for a stronger world
ESG is more than ticking boxes. It’s about making a difference.
Therefore, PwC Switzerland is committed to contributing to the change. How do we do that powering our offices with renewable electricity, allowing our employees to spend an amount of hours per year for corporate volunteering are just a few examples.

Inclusion & Diversity
Every day, all our people will feel valued for what they bring, thrive and inspire others.
At PwC Switzerland, inclusion and diversity are seen as business imperatives not just nice-to-haves. We create value through diversity.
Indeed, diversity is one of the keys to our business success –in terms of both our employees and our client services. Every single person will bring new perspectives and a new set of experiences into our company, and they will help us to understand our clients and to offer them the best-possible services.
Moreover, by having diverse teams, we are able to perceive risks and opportunities from various angles and thus develop innovative approaches and solutions. This is why Inclusion & Diversity are part of our everyday culture; we are all unique -and different.
Dress for your day
Our dress code ranges from casual, business casual or business smart – depending on your day and client.
At PwC, we want our people to feel empowered which is why our people dress for their day.
We trust them to decide what they feel is appropriate to best represent themselves and the PwC brand. From dressing casually for coffee with the team to sometimes choosing business attire for client meetings.
Every day is different, every client is different.
We want our people to dress in a way that makes them feel comfortable.
At PwC, we dress for our day.
