The concept of sustainability encompasses three key aspects: environmental, social and economic. These aspects are closely linked. In practice, companies often focus on environmentally friendly measures (environmental aspect), such as reducing emissions and using resources responsibly. However, social and governance components also play an important role – especially social responsibility, for example in the form of fair working conditions throughout the supply chain and the promotion of diversity and inclusion. When implementing sustainability in a company, it is important to find a balance between short-term financial goals and long-term ecological and social commitments, supported by solid governance.
Two pillars of the sustainability strategy

Innovative energy-saving solutions such as heat pumps and solar power systems are already widely used in building technology, particularly in heating and energy systems. These technologies have made significant advances in recent years. This is where Swissframe AG comes in: Their goal is to replace CO₂-intensive heating systems in multiple-unit properties with more efficient, sustainable alternatives. “Swissframe is pursuing a two-pronged sustainability strategy”, says Balz Hegg. “On the one hand, we are optimizing the building technology in our own buildings, while on the other hand, we are driving forward technological innovations. For example, a boiler solution that can reduce energy consumption by up to 70 percent. A crucial advantage: The modular components are not permanently attached to the building and can be easily recycled, even after 30 years of use.”
The takeaway: Sustainability can be implemented on various levels. It can be integrated into everyday business operations, where money is generated, as well as within the company's infrastructure.
