Swiss Society for the Common Good

The Swiss Society for the Common Good (SSCG) is an institution that promotes an active civil society, social cohesion, and a vibrant democracy in Switzerland. Since its foundation in 1810, the SSCG has been involved in various social and political areas. It supports new charitable initiatives, participates in their financing, and accompanies their development. It also promotes exchange between actors from civil society, politics, and business.

The SSCG was the most important social and socio-political organisation in Switzerland during the development of the Swiss federal state and its foundation in 1848. The SSCG was the driving force behind the establishment of numerous social organisations.
