Our activities in 2022 Sustainable innovation

Today’s challenges make it an imperative to build regenerative and inclusive business models, products and services. Why does sustainable innovation matter? Companies and society now understand the im- portance of taking a balanced approach that con- siders social justice, economic performance, and environmental responsibility equally. To launch a successful business model or position a business for the future, sustainability cannot be ignored.

B Lab Switzerland uses established strategies and methods from innovation management to help businesses make sustainability a priority. We are working in four areas: Improving existing busi- ness models, developing SDG-driven business models, building an innovation infrastructure for SDG-driven innovation and innovation for system change. We provide companies, service providers and public institutions with the necessary knowl- edge and tools to develop sustainable business models and to plug sustainability into existing innovation processes.
