Sustainability-Governance

The sustainability requirements for all companies are becoming increasingly complex and comprehensive. Individual people in the company can no longer sufficiently advance the topic. Sustainability must be strategically anchored and practised within the company to achieve targeted progress. Good sustainability governance is key to good sustainability performance. Sustainability governance describes the formal organization of sustainability activities through structures and processes. In this environment of strong transformation and great complexity, we achieve more together. Swiss Climate supports you in reviewing your sustainability governance and making recommendations for adapting or expanding existing sustainability governance based on current best practice – adapted to your needs and requirements. We also share with you information on what constitutes good sustainability governance, what stumbling blocks there are and
how to develop as an organization.
