What is the Swiss Triple Impact Programme?

The private sector has an important role to play in achieving the Agenda 2030 and a sustainable economy transition. However, it is difficult for many companies to know where to start and which actions to take. This is where the Swiss Triple Impact (STI) Program comes into play. Using the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a framework, we help Swiss organisations – regardless of size or sector – to define a clear and tailored sustainability strategy in 3 steps:

Prioritise

In a half-day workshop, you prioritise the key impacts, risks and opportunities of your business model and discuss with like-minded companies which levers you can operate and how.

Structure

Together, we structure and plan your strategic approach to sustainability around goals and measures that are relevant to your business model in a follow-up workshop.

Transform

Set ambitious commitments for sustainability, get your goals reviewed, and make them public by joining our STI Directory, the largest listing of Swiss organisations having taken concrete, measurable and bold commitments contributing to the SDGs.
