Scope of pledges
Programme status. Each participant carries a programme status that reflects the overall progress of its commitments: Engaged (commitments taken, work starting), Shaper (concrete measures under way), Leader (ambitious commitments largely delivered), Champion (the highest level, all commitments achieved and renewed). This status evolves over time.
Pledge levels. Every pledge is classified by ambition level, from 1 to 3, shown as dots next to its thematic. Level 1: a first, foundational commitment. Level 2: a concrete, measurable action with a defined target and timeline. Level 3: the most ambitious commitment, structural and verified against recognised standards.
Progress. Each pledge shows its progress: In progress (work under way within the agreed timeline), Achieved (target reached and validated), Delayed (timeline extended). Alumni companies keep their last recorded pledges and levels.

| # | Pledge | Thematic · Level | Progress | SDGs |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | By 2027, we increase the circularity of our materials and resources (site waste, energy, water) by 20% compared with 2023, while reducing our non-recyclable waste to a threshold of 2% of sales (compared with a base threshold of 2.4% calculated for 2023).*
* Circularity: optimising the equipment we use in order to reduce the waste generated on our sites and cut our consumption of resources. |

| 2 | By 2030, we reduce our carbon emissions (scopes 1 and 2) by 45%, from 1,155 tonnes of CO2 in 2023 to 635 tonnes, in line with the Paris targets.*
* At the same time, we reduce emissions from scope 3 by 2.5% per year and obtain the Carbon Fri label.
By taking these measures, we are aligning ourselves with the objectives of the Paris Agreements and the requirements of the Swiss Confederation's CO2 Act (revised). |

| 3 | By 2025, we reduce short-term absenteeism by 63%, from 316 hours per 100 employees in 2023 to 200 hours per 100 employees in 2025.*
* Short-term absenteeism defined as absences of less than 5 consecutive days.
To achieve this, we will be implementing key measures such as ongoing training, improving individual and collective facilities, adopting flexible working practices, creating optimal working conditions, and putting in place appropriate procedures to ensure the well-being and overall satisfaction of our employees. |
