Climate commitments

The challenge: unintentional warming

Besides natural heat absorption, science also describes an anthropogenic greenhouse effect, which is the result of a change in the radiation balance of the earth's atmosphere. This means that when the heat radiation barrier becomes too compact, it leads to additional and unintentional warming.

Switzerland has ratified the Paris Agreement and is therefore committed to reducing greenhouse gases by 50 percent (based on 1990) by 2030. Currently, Swiss companies have the possibility to contribute voluntarily to this target.

Our ambition

We set scientifically validated climate protection targets based on the Science Based Target initiative framework. We are therefore committed to reducing our operational CO₂ footprint by 42 percent by 2030 compared to the base year 2022 and we want to achieve net zero by 2035.

Our measures

In terms of climate protection, we rely on a modular process:

The participation in the programme of the Energy Agency of the Swiss private sector (EnAW) for a controlled reduction of CO₂ emissions from our production activities.

The continuous improvement of our energy efficiency.

The use of renewable energy, such as electricity, from hydropower and photovoltaic systems.

The annual calculation of the carbon footprint of our operations.

Additional measures within the supply chain aimed at reducing our carbon footprint.
