Compensation conditions for expert services SEF.Growth

1 November 2023

Scope

Remuneration for the expert services in the SEF.Growth assessments is paid on a flat-rate basis. The following activities are included in these flat rates:

• Preparation for the assessment

• Assessment

• In-depth feedback after the assessment or when the Label is awarded

• All expenses or other costs

In principle, two assessments are planned per company:

• Strategy Assessment

• Label assessment

Flat rates

(1) A Strategy Assessment is remunerated with a lump sum of CHF 750.

(2) A Label Assessment is also remunerated with CHF 750 if it takes place more than 3 months after the Strategy Assessment.

(3) If the Label Assessment takes place within three months after the Strategy Assessment (e.g. due to the subsequent delivery of documents, adjustments to the financial plan), the lump sum is CHF 375. This means that the total remuneration for the company in question is 150% of the Strategy Assessment (total CHF 1'125), as the preparatory work is significantly less in this case.

(4) If the Label is awarded directly in the Strategy Assessment, the fee is also CHF 1'125.

(5) For experts who have already got to know the company in depth in a role as a jury member of an NZZ Connect award, the remuneration for the strategy assessment is CHF 750, even if the label is awarded directly.
