Happily reunited

Thousands and thousands of families worldwide are separated or torn apart every year due to military conflicts, natural disasters, and migration. For many people, this means having to live day after day in agonizing uncertainty. Vontobel employees can help this desperate situation with a donation.

The conventional methods of searching for missing persons are reaching their limits. For this reason, your donation will support the digital search platform "Trace the Face" by the "Restoring Family Links" program of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). With the help of this global search platform, the ICRC aims to digitally network all Red Cross and Red Crescent societies and to simplify, automate, and accelerate search processes – with the goal of reuniting even more separated children, mothers, and fathers.


Again this year, Vontobel will match your donation.
