Bank created in Geneva in 1798, specialised in asset management,
it has the particularity of being a partnership and not a company
with limited liability. It is owned by seven partners who are
personally liable on their own assets for all the Bank’s
commitments. Lombard Odier
& Cie still remains a family business even if it is a
important organisation ( more than 1500 employees in 14 countries
around the world).
This is evidenced by the fact that when Patrick Odier, partner
of the Bank, learned about Hervé’s project, his reaction
was : « You are completely crazy, but it’s a brilliant
idea ». His second reaction was : « Can we do something
for you ? »
As a result, Lombard Odier is contributing to this project. This
reflects the Partners’ commitment since 200 years to support
and endeavor to promote, encourage or reward responsible behavior
in the fields of social welfare, humanitarian and environmental
concerns, youth, education, initiative and creativity.
