Engagement

SIGNUM makes things happen

Focused support of regional sports and other institutions

The areas of health, social affairs, culture and sports are important parts of our society. Although our contributions are not large in scale, we believe that when everyone gets involved, a lot adds up. As a Basel SME, we support local and national athletes, institutions and clubs.

If more attention is needed in the areas of sports, culture and social issues, we regularly offer part of our store windows free of charge as an advertising platform. We are happy to receive any inquiries.

Our engagements

EHC Basel Eishockey

As early as 1931/32, an ice hockey section was formed in the Rotweiss sports club, whose name was changed to EHC Basel in October 1932. SIGNUM has been supporting EHC Basel for several years, because sporting goals require broad-based development work and a lot of time. Since the 2018/19 season, SIGNUM, Rund um Immobilien, has been one of the main sponsors of EHC Basel as a jersey sponsor.

The first team is on a winning streak, plays exciting hockey, and earned promotion to the Swiss League—the second-highest division—in the spring of 2022. As the 2024–2025 runner-up and a 2025–2026 playoff quarterfinalist, this well-coordinated team aims to reach the minimum goal of the playoff semifinals this season, as well as expand its fan base and increase its presence in the region. In the medium term, the team is aiming for promotion to the National League.

Join us for an entertaining game and enjoy this dynamic sport up close in Basel’s St. Jakob Arena, one of the most beautiful ice hockey stadiums in Switzerland.

UBR Unihockey Basel Regio

We are pleased to support UBR Unihockey Basel Regio as the jersey sponsor for the women’s NLB team and the youth sports program (juniors) for the next three seasons. We are also supporting Olivia Falconnier as her personal sponsor.

Unihockey Basel Regio is the leading floorball club and the sporting flagship of the entire northwestern Switzerland region. Both the men’s and women’s teams compete in the second-highest league (NLB), and the majority of the junior girls’ and boys’ teams play in the highest divisions.

The environment is also very important to us

CO2 compensation

On the flat roof of a property in Basel, we generate electricity with a photovoltaic system, which enables us to compensate for SIGNUM’s electricity needs.

Offices

Our offices are equipped with energy-saving LED lights. A comfort ventilation system also imperceptibly ensures permanently fresh air. In winter, this prevents the heat loss that occurs with classic window ventilation. In addition, we only use copying and printing paper that is produced and certified as CO2-neutral.

Vehicles

Vehicles are indispensable for appointments in properties. We have already replaced one of our cars with gasoline combustion by a model with pure electric drive, which allows very quiet and emission-free driving.

Energy-optimized building renovations

With energy-efficient building renovations and advice for our property owners, we contribute to significant improvements. We also rely on modern standards for appliances and lighting. Because many small steps pave the way. We keep at it.
