Sustainable Switzerland Forum

Driving Change. Creating Impact.

2 September 2025, BERNEXPO

The Forum is the sustainability conference for Swiss business, science and politics. Together we can achieve the transformation.

Focus Topics

At the fourth edition of the Sustainable Switzerland Forum, participants can choose to delve deeper into the topic of sustainability in one of three thematic streams: Circular economy, Supply chain tensions or AI & energy management. This division makes it possible to organize the morning according to individual interests and to go into more depth on one focus topics.

Circular economy

Where does the Swiss economy stand in relation to the circular economy? What strategies help to conserve resources and extend the life of products? How can companies benefit from models such as sharing, reusing, repairing and remanufacturing? Practical examples and panel discussions will provide insights into forward-looking solutions and invite you to join in the thinking and discussion.

Supply chain tensions

How do developments in international trade affect the regulation of sustainability and supply chains? What role do EU regulations play for Swiss companies and who is the driving force behind sustainable products - the companies, the customers or the legislators? The focus topic of supply chains explores how companies can successfully build sustainable supply chains — from procurement through to communication.

AI & energy management

Artificial intelligence offers new opportunities to accelerate sustainability. At the same time, data-intensive AI applications are increasing energy consumption. How can this trade-off be resolved? What is the right balance between efficiency and resource consumption? Practical examples and expert discussions will highlight the opportunities, challenges and solutions for the sustainable use of AI in the energy industry.

🌍 Naturkapital als Erfolgsfaktor Wie können Unternehmen ihre Abhängigkeiten und Auswirkungen auf die Natur besser verstehen? 👉 Beim Workshop im Rahmen des NZZ Sustainable Switzerland Forums teilt Aurelia Figueroa, Chief Sustainability Officer bei BREITLING, wertvolle Einblicke in das TNFD Assessment. Wir haben sie gefragt: 𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐜𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐞 𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐟𝐞𝐡𝐥𝐞𝐧 𝐒𝐢𝐞 𝐔𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐡𝐦𝐞𝐧, 𝐝𝐢𝐞 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐤𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐡 𝐢𝐧 𝐢𝐡𝐫𝐞 𝐖𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐬𝐜𝐡𝐨̈𝐩𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧 𝐦𝐨̈𝐜𝐡𝐭𝐞𝐧? «Es ist wichtig, das potenzielle Ausmass der geschäftlichen Abhängigkeiten und Auswirkungen auf das natürliche Kapital grundlegend zu verstehen – die "unbekannten Unbekannten" so weit wie möglich zu reduzieren. Unsere Bemühungen bei Breitling, insbesondere im Bereich Rückverfolgbarkeit, waren in dieser Hinsicht entscheidend und haben unsere Arbeit zur Natur bis heute erheblich erleichtert, zusammen mit umfassenderen Berichtsaktivitäten. Die Anwendung der etablierten Rahmenwerke wie der Taskforce für naturbezogene Finanzberichterstattung (TNFD) Locate, Assess, Evaluate, Prioritize (LEAP) sowie Assess, Commit, Transform, Disclose (ACT-D) bietet eine relevante und solide Methodik, um Massnahmen voranzutreiben und zu dokumentieren.» Jetzt mehr erfahren und am Workshop am 02.
