Introduction Swiss companies are operating in an increa- singly demanding and unpredictable environ- ment. Rising energy prices, a persistent shortage of skilled workers, a strong Swiss franc, and geopolitical instability are all putting pressure on established business models. At the same time, the expectations placed on businesses are evolving rapidly: sustainability reporting re- quirements are intensifying, and the demand for transparency and accountability is growing. In this shifting landscape, the question is no longer whether companies should engage with sustainability—but how. Evidence is intensifying: companies that go beyond minimum com- pliance and proactively integrate sustainabi- lity into their core strategy consistently outperform their peers . In contrast, those that treat sustainability as a regulatory checkbox risk falling behind.
This first Impact Report marks a significant milestone. It offers a retrospective look at the first five years (2020 to 2025) of the STI pro - gramme, highlighting the commitments, pro- gress, and good practices of more than 550 participating organizations across Switzerland. Through data, stories, and examples, we show what is possible when companies em- brace co-creation, take ownership of their sustainability journey, and move from inten- tion to action . Above all, this report is a tribute to the compa- nies that have dared to lead, the partners who have supported this work, and the growing B Ecosystem that is redefining what prosperity looks like in the 21st century. In times of uncer- tainty, the STI community offers a clear mes - sage: purpose-driven business is not only viable—it is vital.
Launched in 2020 by B Lab Switzerland, the Swiss Triple Impact (STI) programme, provides a structured and accessible pathway for bu- sinesses to turn sustainability from a challenge into a competitive advantage. Its practical 3-step methodology—Prioritise, Structure, Trans- form—supports organizations of all sizes and sectors in identifying key impact areas, aligning strategy with global goals, and taking mea- surable, credible action. By this, we provide a framework that allows companies to increase their resilience and become a future-fit orga - nisation which acknowledges that the eco- nomy and society are changing and are not afraid to transform along with them. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution, the STI en - ables each company to build a strategy that is both future-oriented and rooted in its own bu- siness model.
