Sustainability at Swisspearl

As one of the building industry’s leading suppliers, we recognize our responsibility to contribute to a more resilient built environment. We collaborate across the industry, prioritize transparency, and focus on practical, measurable solutions that support long-term building performance.

How we design and construct buildings has lasting environmental consequences. Climate change, resource depletion, and biodiversity loss require a more responsible and efficient approach to construction.

Building sustainably means meeting today’s needs without compromising the needs of future generations. For Swisspearl, this commitment is reflected in continuous improvement, clear goals, and transparent reporting of progress.

We continue to advance sustainability across our products and operations. Key milestones include:

• Independently verified Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for all Swisspearl products
• Several Swisspearl facade boards and building boards are Cradle to Cradle Certified® Full Scope at the Bronze level according to version 4.1 within the certified product scope. 
• Products that support projects pursuing LEED, BREEAM, DGNB, Nordic Swan Ecolabel, and other recognized certification systems
• ISO-certified environmental, quality, and occupational health and safety management systems
• Cellulose fibers sourced from responsibly managed forests
• Increased use of renewable electricity across operations
• Responsible water treatment at all production facilities, including one site operating without process effluent discharge
• Product listings in recognized sustainable building material databases

Buildings shape how we live and work, but they also consume resources, require energy, and generate emissions. The industry must respond with more efficient, lower-impact approaches to design and manufacturing.

We develop products that support responsible construction while working to reduce emissions, minimize waste, and improve resource efficiency across our operations.

We address sustainability across environmental, social, and economic dimensions. This includes reducing environmental impact, supporting safe and healthy building environments, and maintaining long-term performance.

As a manufacturer, our responsibility extends beyond the product itself. We focus on responsible sourcing, efficient production and logistics, and transparent business practices.
