Beyond the 100
Institutions, non-profits and philanthropy
Switzerland is home to global institutions, international non-profits and one of the densest foundation sectors in the world. We profile them rather than rank them.
The Swiss Lions 100 scores brands on revenue, value created in Switzerland and worldwide visibility. These measures do not fit institutions, non-profits and foundations, so they are profiled here and not ranked. A separate index for them is being considered for a future edition.
