Impact story - Ebnat AG SUCCESS FACTORS A clear, shared roadmap The STI action plan gave Ebnat a unifying structure across operations, supply chain, and culture—transforming sustainability from ad-hoc projects into a cohesive manage- ment system. Invest to unlock loops Targeted capital investments—such as the new recycling line and PV expansion—demons- trate how infrastructure upgrades can immediately close loops and cut emissions and serve as proof that process changes and partner take-back schemes can move volumes now. Climate partnership Working with a leading organisation specializing in climate solutions and aligning with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) reinforced credibility and science-based ambition. Community of practice As part of STI’s cross-company exchanges, Ebnat shares its lessons on circular design, supplier audits, and gender balance initiatives. This collective learning helps scale best practices beyond the company and strengthens Switzerland’s responsible manufactu- ring ecosystem.

For us, circularity is not a label—it’s a disciplined redesign of materials, processes and partnerships so that resources keep their value and people across our value chain are treated fairly. - Michele Vela, Director of Ebnat AG Ebnat’s journey shows how a traditional Swiss manufacturer can turn sustainability into a competitive advantage and a catalyst for innovation. Having anchored circularity and sustainability more broadly as core bu- siness drivers, it continues to expand its portfolio of circular products. With its SBTi-aligned climate targets, and ongoing supplier engagement, Ebnat is steadily extending its impact across the value chain—transfor- ming waste into resource, and ambition into measurable progress.
