Goal 1

Core Business
By 2026, we calculate the carbon footprint of half the events at the Swiss Tech Convention Center with tailor-made support from MyClimate, and offset the emissions from these events, compared to none in 2023, and by 2023 we commit to the Net Zero Carbon Events initiative.*
* Sustainable event checklist, partnership with Mobilis for discounted public transport tickets for participants, raising awareness of the carbon footprint of meat, recommending local suppliers, etc., out of a total of 100 events by 2023. By 2030, based on global estimates of event emissions, we help our clients to implement a sustainable event using our turnkey solutions (emissions calculations, sustainable event checklist, soft mobility partnerships, etc.).

Goal 2

Supply Chain
By 2026, we evaluate all our main suppliers with regard to their commitment to sustainability, and recommend them to our customers based on the results of these studies.*
* 8 main suppliers per expenditure out of a total of 1075, representing 70 % of our expenditure. Annual audit in the form of a sustainability self-assessment questionnaire.

Goal 3

Internal operations
By 2026, we reduce our non-recyclable waste by 30 %, compared to no reduction in 2022.*
* Meaning a total of 90.1 % non-recyclable waste.

Goal 4

Internal Operations
By 2026, we reduce the carbon footprint of commuting by 30 %, compared to 2022.*
* Commuting accounts for 33 % of our carbon footprint. 78 % of commuting is by individual motorised transport, which is responsible for 86 % of our commuting emissions.

Goal 5

Internal Operations
By 2026, all our employees undergo at least one professional training course per year to ensure their employability and career development.*
