Through your commitment to the climate, you take the necessary steps and fulfil the growing expectations of consumers for more sustainability.
As a tourism business, you can also achieve the Swisstainable Level I or Level II. This identifies your SME as sustainability-oriented.
A particularly important part of ClimateActions 4 Companies is that we actively involve your employees. In this way, you expand the scope of your commitment, as the measures are implemented directly where they have the greatest impact. In addition, more and more employees want sustainable employers, which makes your company more attractive on the labour market.
Last but not least, it is to be expected that more laws will be passed in the future to protect the climate. By advocating for more sustainability now, you can get ahead of the legislator(s) and cushion investments that will be made due to new legislation.
About the program
MYBLUEPLANET supports small and medium-sized enterprises in Switzerland on their way towards net zero with concrete and feasible climate protection measures.
Together, we define the framework within which your SME can make a strong commitment to climate protection and then formulate the climate protection targets. Based on this, we determine the measures for reducing emissions with which your SME can achieve the goals. We attach great importance to involving your employees in this process. Last but not least, we help you evaluate your progress and continuously improve.

Steps of the program
Step 1: Onboarding
- Where do you stand: What has already been done?
- We decide together on the rough route.
- We clarify the responsibilities.
Together we define the rough direction and inform your organization about what will happen in the next steps.
You establish a CoreTeam in your company that addresses the topic of climate protection and is responsible for the cooperation with us from MYBLUEPLANET.
Step 2: Analysing
- We analyse the current status regarding climate friendliness.
- We find the fields with the greatest potential and set the priorities.
- We involve relevant external partners as appropriate.
First, we get an overview of the current situation. For this purpose, the responsible people in your company provide the relevant information about the processes in areas such as waste, electricity, mobility, heating/cooling, procurement and water.
In addition, the employees are involved, e.g. through surveys and workshops. Furthermore, a materiality analysis helps us to define the most important fields of action. A professional eco-mapping during an on-site visit to your company also helps to identify potential savings together and to find inspiration for possible measures. A rough CO2 balance with our partners is also possible.
On the basis of this information, we determine the areas in which your company can achieve the most.
If there is a great need for action, we will consult relevant external partners if necessary.
Step 3: Planning
- We define your climate protection goals.
- We identify the needed ClimateActions.
- We provide you with helpful tools.
Together we determine the extent to which your company can commit to climate protection – for this we formulate specific climate protection goals. Each goal comes from a specific area (e.g. waste), from which the measures are then derived (e.g. reduce disposable tableware). This results in the ClimateActions (i.e. the concrete measures) that are necessary to achieve your climate protection goals.
For planning, implementation and monitoring, we provide your company with a user-friendly management tool.
Step 4: Implementing
- Your organization implements the ClimateActions.
- We support you with our know-how.
- If necessary, we establish contact with further experts.
In order to successfully implement your ClimateActions, we are available to advise you.
On the one hand, you can rely on our extensive know-how and on the other hand, we are happy to provide you with our network to connect you with people and enterprises that can help you.
Step 5: Monitoring
- We monitor the achievement of your objectives.
- We identify any potential for optimization.
- We hold insights.
To ensure that your enterprise is achieving its climate protection goals, we monitor progress on an ongoing basis and optimize on the go.
In regular meetings, we record successes, identify any obstacles, and record key findings.
By default, we accompany your company for 3 years. Of course, this can be extended.
