We exemplify climate protection

Swiss Climate offers its clients climate protection services. This is why we set a good example and exemplify climate protection in our own company. We are convinced that everyone should and can make a contribution to the common goal of protecting our climate.

Our climate protection goals

We have set ourselves the goal of achieving continuous, lasting reductions in the annual greenhouse gas emissions per employee.

Annual carbon footprint

In 2010, the company`s business activities emitted around 6 tonnes of CO₂. For the most part, the emissions are generated by electricity consumption and business travel (train, plane, mobility). This results in 1.1 tonnes CO₂ per employee. To achieve further, lasting reductions of these levels, Swiss Climate monitors its CO₂ emissions each year and identifies corresponding reduction measures.

Measures for reducing emissions

Measures implemented by Swiss Climate to reduce greenhouse gas emissions include:

Heating our building with geothermal energy
Preferably using public transport for business trips
Mobility car for longer trips
Guidelines for business trips
Power-saving measures in the workplace (e.g. light, computer, standby consumption)
Optimised room temperature control
Refillable containers for food and snacks to avoid waste and save CO₂ in the long term (www.refiller.ch)

Carbon offsetting

Swiss Climate offsets the remaining inevitable greenhouse gas emissions with top quality Gold Standard CO₂ certificates.
