Guiding Principles

Our four guiding principles – "Setting standards", "Applying our values", "Shaping the future" and "Open communication" – give an indication of our corporate culture while standing as beacons for the future development of our company.

Setting standards

As the nerve center of the market and a leading securities exchange, the SWX aims to set internationally recognised standards of the highest calibre. We use our extensive know-how to develop new products. We measure the success of our innovations in terms of the economic benefit to our clients.

Applying our values

Our actions and decisions are marked by integrity, tolerance, professionalism and the will to achieve. We view ourselves as guarantors of an efficient, transparent and safe market and are fully aware of the enourmous responsibilities we bear in carrying out our various tasks and duties.

Shaping the future

Our future lies with our employees. We are aware that job satisfaction, hard work and a sense of achievement generate lasting added value. We promote and reward the pioneering spirit, creativity, intelligence and systematic entrepreneurial action.

Open communication

We seek to promote transparency and inspire confidence by pursuing a proactive and comprehensive information policy. As a dynamic and open-minded organisation, we regard constructive dialogue with our partners and other critical observers as an opportunity to take stock and explore new avenues.
