Equestrian showpiece bolsters commercial standing with Honda and Credit Suisse

The CHI Geneva show jumping event has sealed a two-year extension to its principal sponsor deal with multinational financial services firm Credit Suisse and has added Japanese automotive manufacturer Honda as a new partner.

The renewal with Credit Suisse covers the 2015 and 2016 editions of the CHI Geneva, continuing a relationship established in 2008.

Terms for Honda’s partnership were not disclosed but the company joins Devillard, Gaz Naturel, the Starling Hotel and Conference Centre Geneva and Vicomte A as a sponsor of the event.

It will provide vehicles to the event for organisational purposes and will also benefit from having car models on display in the event village.

CHI Geneva is part of the Grand Slam of Show Jumping alongside the CHIO Aachen in Germany and the CSIO Calgary event in Canada.
