The Swisspearl Sustainability Report
As one of the building industry's leading suppliers, we see it as our responsibility to drive development in the right direction. We are partners of pioneers within the industry, and we work for transparency and tangible solutions when it comes to our concerted efforts to ensure a better and more sustainable world.
The world needs us to think carefully about how we act as this also applies to the building industry. Climate change, biodiversity loss and limited resources all demand a rapid transition to responsible, holistic building. This responsibility is something that we all share.
For Swisspearl, this means meeting today's needs without having a negative impact on future generations. It really comes down to being a little better today than we were yesterday. You can read more on these pages about our products and our work.
... without in any way being able to claim that we have achieved all our goals. At Swisspearl, we therefore continue to work step-by-step in a more sustainable direction. Here are just a few examples of what we have achieved in recent years:
Roofs, facades, structures and interior walls. Renovations and new builds. Fibre cement from Swisspearl can be used for all these applications and help to ensure a more sustainable direction for architecture and the building concerned. Some of the leading features of our products are:
Buildings and good architecture provide the framework for good life. However, they also consume resources, require energy, emit CO2 and produce waste. The building and construction industry therefore needs to deal with this in a new way. At Swisspearl, we work every day to develop products that can contribute to more sustainable building. At the same time, we are working to reduce our own carbon footprint, cut waste and minimize our environmental impact from production.
This means that a building must be a good place in which to live or stay, must have a low impact on the environment and climate, and must have a sound economy throughout its life cycle. This also means that as a supplier we must do our utmost to drive building in a greener direction – by means of our use of resources, our production and logistics, as well as endeavouring to operate our enterprise in a responsible manner.
