Walder Wyss is a Swiss company limited by shares, headquartered in Zurich. It is fully owned by its partners, who, as shareholders, are responsible for admitting new partners and appointing members to the management board. The formal partners' assembly is chaired by the chairman of the board, who also serves as the managing partner. The firm is structured to ensure efficient decision-making, professional independence and strict regulatory compliance.

We understand responsible business holistically; it is not a separate programme but a core component of our business activities. The board of directors determines the corporate strategy, including the responsible business strategy, which is managed by the Responsible Business Practice Committee, consisting of the managing partner, a partner of the ESG & Sustainability practice group and a member of the back office. 

Protecting client data is a top priority. We implement state-of-the-art cybersecurity measures, encrypted communications, and strict access controls to safeguard sensitive information. Walder Wyss is ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified. In 2023, no complaints have been reported concerning loss of confidentiality, integrity or availability of client data. Regular audits and employee training reinforce our commitment to IT-security, data privacy and compliance with all applicable regulations.

Walder Wyss is committed to the highest ethical and professional standards. We strive to conduct our business with the highest level of integrity. We ensure that personal interests do not compromise our judgment in interactions with clients, suppliers, and other third parties. These principles are embedded in our Code of Conduct, which sets clear expectations for responsible business practices in all relevant dimensions.

Robust procedures and formalized reporting mechanisms ensure compliance with our standards.
