Steady Swiss performance in a European context

Amongst the best improvers, we see travel retailer Dufry, having launched a new website this year, and private markets firm Partners Group.

Three macro trends stood out in the world of corporate digital communications in Switzerland:

1) The digitalisation and globalisation of products and services are pushing businesses to rethink their strategies, invest in burgeoning markets and new business ventures, giving way to an overall transformation of the business. As a result, companies are using their digital channels as a means of explaining their strategic evolution.

2) Although Switzerland is projected to be the first country to achieve full compliance with the UN Sustainable Development Goals by 2030, digital transparency on sustainability topics remains low among listed companies, with many expecting a formal report to do almost all the work rather than using the corporate website to reach stakeholders.

3) In the social and digital era, excessive “noise” and the battle to stand out is a challenge for all companies competing for attention. Online communication, in fact, can no longer ignore the rise of visual communication and the importance of user experience.
