Technological progress, sustainability and economic stability are not mutually exclusive. However, in many cases, climate-friendly business models have not yet been defined or are not yet profitable due to the lack of a conducive political framework.

swisscleantech is a fast-growing business association wholly committed to the fight against climate change. It represents over 550 companies based in Switzerland from all sectors, which are convinced that a climate-friendly economy is worthwhile and urgently overdue. swisscleantech works to promote policies that set the right parameters, so that climate-friendly business models become more competitive and innovation is rewarded.

swisscleantech has managed to build an impressive, diverse network and is able to gather leaders in business, politics, civil society, and science around one table for constructive discussions on how to advance a climate-smart economy. Its agenda covers a vast range of important topics, such as energy policy, circular economy, sustainable mobility, modernization of buildings, renewable energy production, introduction of a CO2 price or entrepreneurial net-zero targets - all while reflecting the complexity and multiple dimensions of sustainability needed to be addressed.
