A show at a private birthday party for the bank’s president, Urs Rohner, causes excitement. Credit Suisse has now had to apologize.
The celebration of the 60th of Urs Rohner gets a bitter aftertaste for Credit Suisse (CS). As the US newspaper “New York Times” recently reported, a black man appeared at the bank president’s party.
Also, friends would have worn Rohner’s afro wigs. The CEO at that time was also there. Tidjan thiam present, so the article continues. The Ivory Coast native, who had to remove his hat earlier in the year at CS, is said to have rushed out of the room in outrage after the performances.
The waves rise
The festival took place last November in a restaurant in Zurich. Apparently, Rohner himself should not have been involved in organizing and planning the celebration.
According to Thiam’s remarks, the waves are now rising, especially in Britain, where MPs also spoke harshly to the British Guardian newspaper. A spokesman for the Swiss bank, which is at the forefront of equality and minority rights, apologized to the newspaper for “any momentum” the celebration has unleashed.
Zero tolerance
He never intended to hurt the feelings of those present and the course of the evening was misrepresented. In Great Britain, the CS has signed a letter obliging the company to have zero tolerance for racist attacks and harassment.
