Impact story - V-Zug V-ZUG’S STI PLEDGES AT A GLANCE
KEY MEASURES & OUTCOMES
Full carbon neutrality across its production sites (Scopes 1 & 2) since 2020
Renewable energy sourcing; compensation of emissions via pro- prietary reforestation project «V-Forest.”; internal CO₂ tax (CHF 120 per tonne emitted) feeding into a fund to finance further sus - tainability initiatives (e.g. e-truck, circular factory pilots). “Materials for a Circular Economy» project (financed from internal CO₂ fund): analyze and optimize material choices (especially metals and plastics); conduct life-cycle analyses for all product lines; defined goals to improve recyclability and reduce reliance on high-impact virgin inputs.
Internal Operations - By 2030, we reduce remai- ning greenhouse gas emissions at all our production sites by 80% (Scope 1 & 2) and reduce our Scope 3 emissions by 30% compared with 2020, in line with our Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) goal ap- proved in 2025.
Extremely high (≈ 98%) metal recycling rate and reduced material-impact trade-offs
Core Business - By 2030, we increase the energy and water efficiency of all equipment brought to market by 10%.
Tangible demonstration of circular thinking; branding value; educational signaling to consumers and industry Reduced commuting and logistics emissions as well as reduced land consumption and energy inefficiencies
Repurpose: Upcycling used appliance parts (e.g. washing-ma- chine drums) into new furniture pieces (tables, poufs).
Core Business - By 2030, we reduce the environ- mental impact of our newly developed products by 5%, based on reference point of the previous model.
Built a vertical factory (six floors) with a centralised multi-energy hub: instead of spreading production horizontally as in traditional one-story factories, the production lines, logistics, and energy systems are stacked vertically across several floors.
Internal Operations - From 2021 onwards, we an- nually reduce the number of accidents by 5%, with a long-term «Zero Accident Vision”.
Internal Operations - By 2030, we increase the pro- portion of women in the leadership team including Board of Directors across the group to more than 25%
