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.
The SwissTech Convention Center is one of the largest convention centres in the Lake Geneva region, hosting events of international renown.
| # | Pledge | Thematic · Level | Progress | SDGs |

| 1 | 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.
