The "Swiss Code of Best Practice for Corporate Governance" is governed by the provisions contained in corporation law. Its purpose is to set out guidelines and recommendations but not to force Swiss companies into a straightjacket. Each company should retain the possibility of putting its own ideas on structure and organization into practice. This article shows that, in view of the time pressure driving new legislation, the Swiss "Muesli" approach combining corporate law, on the one side, with self regulated * This article is based on the speech the author made on the meeting of the European Company Law Experts (ECLE) in Cologne of September 27, 2012.

In just two years, the Geneva Centre for Philanthropy (GCP) has become an important point of reference among academics and professionals both in Switzerland and worldwide. The Centre, which was founded by the University of Geneva (UNIGE), defines philanthropy as voluntary giving for the common good, the latter being codified by the Sustainable Development Goals. The Centre’s work focuses on three strategic areas: teaching, research and events. It takes a cross-disciplinary approach and crosses closely with practitioners, which has helped to drive our success. Highlights of 2019 included the creation of the Edmond de Rothschild Overview Foundations Chair in Behavioural Philanthropy, and the launch of a second course in philanthropy for students in UNIGE’s Faculty of the activities of Humanities. The GCP also entered into a unique partnership agreement with the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) as part of a major research project on the taxation of philanthropy.
