Brauerei Locher – Appenzeller Bier

The Appenzeller Brauerei is a pioneer in terms of ‘Swissness’ and sustainability. The Locher family has been brewing its beer in Appenzell, at the foot of the Alpstein, since 1886 and for five generations. The crystal-clear, pure water that forms the basis of all products bubbles up from a spring there. The Locher brewery is much more than just ‘Quöllfrisch’. Thanks to the use of local raw materials, it has been promoting the local cultivation of malting barley and hops since the 1990s. In addition, the family business consistently utilises the by-products of the brewing process so that valuable resources are used multiple times and optimally exploited.

For the first time, Mammut's CO2 performance is included in the calculation of the annual bonus for employees.

SIGG Switzerland Bottle AG

Sustainability is a key challenge that SIGG successfully tackles. Only recyclable materials such as aluminium, stainless steel, polypropylene and Tritan are used in production. Furthermore, the iconic aluminium bottle, for example, is made from 100% recycled aluminium, which reduces the energy required for production by 95%. Despite its successful growth in recent years, SIGG has been able to substantially reduce its CO2 footprint. Other measures include switching to green electricity and manufacturing two thirds of its products in Europe.

Swiss Wine
Promotion

Whether Chasselas, Gamay or Pinot Noir: Swiss wines score highly in terms of sustainability. This is due to the fact that transport routes are short. Above all, however, the winegrowers do much of the work in the vineyard by hand. Some plots are simply too steep to be worked with machines. However, manual labour is often also linked to the philosophy of the wineries - namely to work in harmony with nature as much as possible. Swiss Wine Promotion, the national promotional organisation for Swiss wines, actively supports these efforts to achieve sustainability in viticulture.

World Heritage in Switzerland

Four natural phenomena and nine cultural works represent Switzerland's rich history and diversity, which are not only of local importance but also of universal value. The 13 UNESCO World Heritage properties are masterpieces of human creativity and testimonies to past eras, providing a unique link between nature and culture.

World Heritage Experience Switzerland (WHES), advocates a conscious and mindful approach to the exploration of these treasures in order to ensure their valorisation, mediation and preservation for future generations.

Flughafen Zürich AG

Sustainable travelling in Switzerland begins as soon as you arrive at Zurich Airport. Since 1991, the airport operator, Flughafen Zürich AG, has reduced its own CO2 emissions by around half. And this is just the beginning: with the expansion of renewable energies, state-of-the-art, energy-efficient buildings and the switch to electric vehicles, the aim is to reduce its own greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2040.

Flughafen Zürich AG is also supporting its partners in making air traffic itself more climate-friendly - for example by campaigning for the development of environmentally friendly aviation fuel.)
