Since 2000, the Association MerTerre has been leading actions against pollution in the Mediterranean Sea. During our lifetimes we have noticed the decrease in fish populations, the sea getting murkier as well as the increasing plastic and domestic waste ending up in the water. We strongly believe that taking care of our seas is vital to protect our ecosystems, food supplies and livelihoods and therefore we have decided to join the fight against sea pollution.
ACE International has decided to support MerTerre in their mission to clean up the Mediterranean Sea but also in their goal of educating the new generations on how to keep our seas clean, and on sensitizing the general public on waste management. MerTerre has built an extensive network of more than 350 associations, schools and stores that help organize large scale clean up missions with volunteers of all ages. In 2021 MerTerre coordinated 578 clean up missions, involving a total of 17’928 volunteers, and they were able to collect and dispose of 864m² of trash. With a little help from all of us, our seas and oceans could be thriving as they were in the past!
Ukraine Humanitarian aid with MSF
ACE International has decided to send immediate support to Médecins Sans Frontières to assist them with providing medical equipment, much needed medicine and medical care to the Ukrainian people who have stayed in their country. We all hope that this war will end soon!
Since 2015, Médecins Sans Frontières has been operating 4 mobile clinics in Ukraine to help treat and care for people living in remote areas. Due to the recent invasion of Ukraine by Russia many people have been injured in the crossfire and are now in need of urgent medical treatment. Médecins Sans Frontières has sprung into action to resupply their mobile clinics with necessary equipment and supplies as well as to ship medical supplies to local hospitals, in order to take care of the people that are staying in Ukraine.
At ACE International we have supported Médecins Sans Frontières in other emergency situations in the past and know how efficient and effective they are in their emergency relief projects. Consequently, we have rapidly decided to support Médecins Sans Frontières in their mission of providing medical aid to these victims of war.
Ukraine Humanitarian aid with the UNHCR
ACE International has decided to send financial support to the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) for their mission of providing shelter, food and medical treatments to the Ukrainian people who have fled their country following the Russian invasion. And, of course, we hope for Peace.
Due to the recent invasion of Ukraine by Russia many people have fled Ukraine in search of safety and refuge in neighboring countries. The United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) has sprung into action to prepare shelter, food and medical treatments for all of the Ukrainian people who have fled their homes to nearby Poland. The United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) is welcoming all the Ukrainian women and children who were forced to leave behind their husbands, fathers and sons who stayed to defend their country’s freedom.

ACE international supports two MSF programs!
ACE International has been supporting Médecins Sans Frontières for several causes since 2014. This year, two projects received an important donation. The first one went to the COVID-19 emergency fund mainly to help face the sanitary crisis across under developed countries that are still in a dire situation. The second donation went to the Bekaa valley project in Lebanon where MSF has a presence for many years and where a lot of Syrians took refuge due to the dramatic situation in their country. On top of this important influx of Syrian refugees, due to the poor economic situation in Lebanon and the COVID-19 crisis effects a lot of Lebanese have been knocking on the doors of the MSF dispensaries too in order to get access to the most basic care.
Supporting innovative research projects in fighting pediatric cancers has been a long-standing engagement for ACE International. For several years now, regular donations were made through the Hubert Gouin Enfance & Cancer Association. An important donation was just granted to the MICCHADO ChipSeq research project which focuses on the care and support of children suffering from high-risk tumours, a project initiated at the Institut Curie in Paris.
Pediatric cancers are one of the leading causes of death in children, with more than 160,000 new cases worldwide each year.

Pediatric cancers are one of the leading causes of death in children, with more than 160,000 new cases worldwide each year. These cancers are not the same as those found in adults. The symptoms, treatments and survival rates are also different. Pediatric cancers therefore require specific scientific research. ACE International has decided to support, through the Hubert Gouin « Enfance & Cancer » Association, a large-scale European project in immunotherapy.
Since its creation in 2004, the Hubert Gouin Enfance & Cancer Association has supported more than 75 research projects and participated in major discoveries in the field of pediatric cancers.
In addition to the health consequences of the coronavirus pandemic, the social and economic repercussions of the crisis are becoming increasingly visible in Switzerland.
Thanks to Chaine du Bonheur, more than CHF 37 million in donations have been received since March to support those most affected by the consequences of covid-19 in Switzerland.
We, at Ace International, felt it was our duty to show our solidarity with those in a precarious situation and to be part of the corporate donors.
Hopefully many more Swiss businesses will become donors of Chaîne du Bonheur !
During the present uncertain period it is difficult for business owners to define their strategies, since nobody knows which impact the COVID-19 will have on business activities and what the future will bring.
At ACE International SA we are at your disposal with our teams to assist you by offering various services which will help you to serenely operate in the future and be prepared for the post COVID-19 business environment.
Donation to MSF for the Covid-19 emergency fund
ACE International is proud to support Médecins Sans Frontières with a new donation, as part of a Covid-19 emergency fund: 25% of the donation will be used to help the situation in Switzerland and 75% will go to developing countries, particularly MSF’s work in Africa.
As an emergency medical organisation, MSF is particularly concerned by this health challenge: thus, their teams are involved in the fight against Covid-19 in Switzerland, France, Italy, Spain, Greece, Hong Kong and they are preparing projects around the world to cope with the spread of the pandemic. On the African continent, almost 90% of the countries are already affected by Covid-19.
Ariane Slinger and the entire ACE International team have been supporting Médecins sans Frontières Switzerland since 2014, particularly for the Ebola vaccination project and by providing substantial support to the emergency funds for the victims of forgotten crises.
Please consider supporting organizations like these that are fighting this pandemic on the forefronts.

Ariane Slinger, ACE International’s CEO, has won the Editor’s Choice award by Citywealth IFC Awards 2020.
L’un des grands changements amenés par les ordonnances sur la loi sur les services financiers (LSFin) et la loi sur les établissements financiers (LEFin) du 15 juin 2018 concerne les gestionnaires de fortune indépendants (GFI) et les trustees, lesquels devront dorénavant être autorisés par la FINMA et seront surveillés par un organisme de surveillance (OS).
La transparence fiscale et la réputation d’intégrité de la place financière suisse seront mieux défendues en Suisse si la notion de Trust est introduite en droit suisse permettant une meilleure protection des actifs et renforçant l’attractivité de la Suisse.
