B Corps in Switzerland

How do we drive change in Switzerland

B Lab Switzerland has developed several programs to promote a transition to a more sustainable economy that benefits both people and the planet.

  • Swiss Triple Impact

    Developed by B Lab Switzerland, the Swiss Triple Impact (STI) is a unique national program that helps Swiss companies of all sizes and sectors make concrete, three-step commitments to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

  • B Academy

    B Academy programs aim to deepen students’ knowledge of sustainability and provide them with tools and case studies to solve entrepreneurial challenges. It offers a variety of curricula on ESG strategic management, impact measurement, and inclusive business pathways.

  • B Leaders

    B Leaders is a training program for professionals who want to help companies measure and manage their social and environmental impact. It provides a theoretical foundation and practical methods for individuals who want to lead their organizations to the B Corp certification.

  • Swiss Boards for Agenda 2030 (#SBA2030)

    B Lab Switzerland and InTent have developed the Swiss Boards for Agenda 2030 (#SBA2030), an alliance of CEOs and board members committing their companies to take action by training two third of their board to sustainability, changing company bylaws to enhance social and environmental responsibility, making credible commitments on the SDGs and attending an annual #sba2030 roundtable to engage in collective actions.
