Promote and support current and retired employees
The general purpose of the Foundation is to promote and support current and retired employees and their relatives of companies held by SCHURTER Holding AG (Lucerne).
Specifically, young employees in vocational training and/or in the process of further education are to be supported. Support shall also be provided to employees of any age in cases of illness, accident, disability, or hardship through no fault of their own.
Furthermore, the Foundation may make contributions towards the costs of external childcare. The Foundation can also provide support in the event of officially ordered restructuring measures with regard to pension funds or general restructuring measures to secure endangered jobs within the SCHURTER Group. Shareholders and their family members are not eligible. The Foundation is a not-for-profit organization. It is active in Switzerland and abroad within the scope of its purpose.
In order to realize the purpose of the Foundation, it may make distributions both from the income and from the assets of the Foundation. The Foundation’s Board of Trustees expressly reserves the right to change or adapt the purpose at any time.
After decades of work in service of the SCHURTER Group, I wanted to take the fruits of my labor and give back for greater good through the foundation. At the same time, it was important for me to include the founding family’s fourth generation on the foundation board and draw them to a social commitment that benefits employees and their relatives.

I am pleased to contribute to the Bruno H. Schurter Foundation to help employees of the SCHURTER Group overcome situations of hardship that may not be of their own making. The contributions made by Bruno H. Schurter symbolically reflect the commitment of a socially responsible entrepreneur – values that I fully support.
Ralph Sigg, President of the Foundation
