Our focus
These are the points we focus on to prevent healthcare costs from rocketing sky high:
Environmental, social and economic engagement is firmly rooted in CSS’s core values. We draw on our value-driven entrepreneurship and expertise to play an active role in shaping the Swiss healthcare system and moving it forward.
Healthcare costs have been rising steadily for years. At present, they amount to CHF 10,000 per person per year. As the industry leader, we take action at a number of different levels to curb this development and secure long-term financing for the healthcare system. This means being accountable not just to those insured with us, but to society as a whole.
These are the points we focus on to prevent healthcare costs from rocketing sky high:
Sustainability has always been part of our value system here at CSS. We’ve made it our goal to reduce our ecological footprint. We’re reducing energy consumption at our real estate, especially our large administrative buildings, by 20% and lowering annual CO2 emissions by almost one-quarter. Public e-charging stations are another example of our commitment, which we will continue to build on.
As the leading health insurer, we also take responsibility for the general population. In this way, we live up to another of our core values: solidarity. Our employees are given the opportunity to take part in volunteering assignments lasting several days. Some of them help out in nursing homes and hospitals in the fight against the coronavirus, for example.
In addition, CSS supports the «Corona Immunitas» national research project, providing the considerable amount of CHF 2 million in funding. This is our way of making a contribution to overcoming the corona pandemic.
As a health partner, we are committed to leading a healthy life, actively taking steps to regain one's health and developing a mindful approach to illness.
