In the past, sustainability and the environment were primarily a risk management or compliance issue. Today, companies have to align their business in such a way that they are fit for the future. How can companies transform today’s challenges into new business opportunities? How can they make a positive contribution in terms of climate change or renewable energies? How is it possible to generate added value for society and for the company at the same time? This is where the Sustainable Switzerland campaign comes into play.
This is where we come in with Business Sustainability Today and Aktion zukunftsfähige Schweiz and offer an overview of the options for action per SDG. The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide a framework for solving challenges such as poverty, inequality, climate crisis, environmental degradation, peace and justice by 2030. The SDGs thus provide guidance for companies and consumers, as well as starting points for corporate reorientation.
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
Mission of the Sustainable Switzerland campaign
Business Sustainability Today is intended to be an overarching hub for all sustainability activities in Switzerland. The Sustainable Switzerland campaign aims to inspire companies and decision-makers with portraits of innovative solutions and to clarify the SDGs with valuable insights from experts . The aim is to motivate companies to see social challenges as opportunities and to make a contribution to the SDGs with their own company.
It is about changing both awareness and behavior by demonstrating that sustainability and business success are compatible.
Implementation
In order to present and classify the numerous activities in Switzerland, the SDGs serve as an orientation framework. An introductory article for each SDG places the topic in the Swiss context. In addition, we work with various partners to publish solutions, expert opinions and further information per SDG.
