We believe that a key to long-term success is ensuring that all our employees share a common culture built around core values. The values described below underpin all our actions – as well as our interactions with customers and colleagues.

Close ties

As a Swiss cantonal bank, BCV’s deep connection with the local community goes back a century and a half. Our employees use their on-the-ground presence in Vaud Canton and knowledge of the local community to fully appreciate and understand the needs and expectations of BCV’s customers.

Professionalism

Every employee is committed to delivering the best possible service to customers. To achieve this, they draw on the best practices in their respective field of expertise and constantly seek to expand their skills and knowledge.

Performance

At BCV, we set ourselves ambitious goals across the board. Our people are results-oriented. They systematically seek pragmatic and effective solutions to the challenges that arise every day.

Responsibility

BCV employees demonstrate responsible professional behavior. This includes taking responsibility for their actions, being conscientious in their work and being loyal to the company.

Ongoing effort

Given the importance that we ascribe to our core values, we have put in place a long-term employee information and training program. In 2010, for example, all employees completed a full day of training on how to concretely apply these values in their everyday work. Our values are also an integral part of employee performance reviews.
