Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves11 records

Direct peers

• ORS Service AG: Major private-sector provider of refugee and asylum accommodation and integration services across multiple Swiss cantons. Directly comparable to TISG's residential and integration operations, though ORS operates as a private contractor rather than a municipal association.
• AOZ (Asylorganisation Zürich): Zurich-based public refugee and integration organization providing housing, care, and labor market integration for asylum seekers. Closely comparable to TISG as a cantonal-scale public-purpose integration body with similar service portfolio.

Broad incumbents

• Caritas Schweiz: National Swiss social services organization operating broad humanitarian, refugee, and integration programs. Comparable in scope of refugee-related services but operates nationally rather than within a single canton.
• HEKS (Hilfswerk der Evangelischen Kirchen Schweiz): Swiss aid organization of the Protestant churches providing refugee integration, social services, and humanitarian aid across multiple cantons. Comparable scope of refugee integration work but at national scale.
• Schweizerische Flüchtlingshilfe (SFH): Swiss Refugee Council — national umbrella advocacy and support organization for asylum seekers and refugees. Comparable in focus on refugee welfare but primarily operates in legal aid, advocacy, and documentation rather than direct service delivery.
• Schweizerisches Rotes Kreuz (SRK): Swiss Red Cross operates humanitarian and integration programs including refugee support. Comparable in providing social and integration services but as part of a much broader humanitarian mandate.

Regional players

• Sozialamt Kanton Bern / Asylsozialdienst Bern: Cantonal refugee and social services authority in Canton Bern with comparable scope of housing, social assistance, and integration coordination. Regional peer operating in a different Swiss canton.

Others

• Staatssekretariat für Migration (SEM): Federal Swiss authority for migration and asylum policy. Not a peer in the service-delivery sense but is TISG's key federal funding channel via Globalpauschalen and a regulatory counterpart.
