Swiss Re contributes to Haiti rebuilding efforts
Swiss Re has pledged CHF 250,000 to support the rebuilding efforts in Haiti following the devastating earthquake.
Further donations by employees globally to their charitable organisation of choice will be matched by the company up to an additional CHF 250,000. The funds will go to projects that are sustainable, supporting those that have suffered the most, and will be channeled through recognised charitable organisations participating to the Haiti relief and reconstruction effort.
Chief Operating Officer, Agostino Galvagni said: “The tragic events in Haiti this past week are a sobering reminder of the devastating force of natural catastrophes and the toll they can exact on humanity. Swiss Re and its employees regard it as a responsibility to contribute in this way to the healing and reconstruction process.“
