Support from the federal government and Swiss Solidarity
In 2025, the Federal Social Insurance Office (FSIO) contributed CHF 8 million to promoting elderly care through the cantonal associations. The Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH) contributed another CHF 386 000 under an agreement to subsidize equal health opportunities. The State Secretariat for Migration (SEM) contributed a total of CHF 669 000 to the five specialized outpatient clinics in Bern, Geneva, Lausanne, St Gallen and Zurich and the coordination of the federal ‘support for torture victims’ programme.
The Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) made a programme contribution of CHF 7.16 million to the SRC's long-term development cooperation work, one million francs lower than in 2024. The Swiss government also made CHF 1 million available for the SRC's humanitarian emergency and disaster relief operations, once again a reduction of CHF 1.5 million in comparison to the previous year. Instead, we received significantly greater funding of CHF 6.2 million for our projects, mainly for Syria (CHF 1.5 million) and Gaza/West Bank (CHF 3.5 million). This is in addition to CHF 275 000 for various contracts and CHF 495 000 for our projects in the Swiss Water and Sanitation Consortium.
Swiss Solidarity provided CHF 938 000 for SRC projects, especially our support for Ukraine, but also Ethiopia, Moldova and Sudan. This corresponds to a CHF 5.3 million decrease from 2024, mainly due to reduced funding for our Ukraine programme.
Duty of due diligence (Art. 964 CO)
The Swiss Red Cross is subject to Article 964 j-l of the Swiss Code of Obligations with regard to transparency on non-financial matters. In the 2025 reporting year, the SRC and the organizations included in the scope of consolidation made the necessary efforts to fulfil the statutory due diligence obligations. Based on the audits, it can be affirmed that there are no known risks either in the minerals and metals sector or with regard to child labour.
