Have you already decided on this level? If you don't do the whole thing yourself, assign a person or team to implement the sustainability requirements of the business. Plan when and how you want to tackle the sustainability check. Inform the employees about the sustainability commitment and the planned steps.

To the application

Lade das Commitment herunter und unterschreibe es. Falls du jemanden mit der Umsetzung beauftragt hast, lasse auch ihn/sie unterschreiben.

Commitment

If possible, do the sustainability check in a team. When assessing the individual points in the sustainability check, ideas and measures often already develop on how sustainability could be improved in the corresponding area. Write these ideas down next to the assessment - you will need them for the next step.

Sustainability check

The sustainability check will show you which points you can improve in your business with regard to sustainability. Based on these findings, you must now formulate at least three measures on different sustainability aspects, which you will implement in the next 24 months.

Measures sheet

Proof can be official documents such as deeds, certificates, contracts or others. You can submit existing ones or choose one from the list below. Make sure that it is clear what the proof is and how long it is valid for. 

Look for the note on the list regarding individual and combination certificates.

List of the sustainability certificates for Level II

Submit the following information and documents on the link sent by e-mail in the ST-Datanetwork:

  • Signed Commitment
  • Sustainability check
  • Measure sheet with at least three measures
  • Proof of sustainability

After an inspection, the Swisstainable office awards the certificate and the Swisstainable signet, which is valid for 4 years. Now you are officially a Swisstainable business!

Now it is time for you to implement the formulated sustainability measures. After two years you will be asked to review their implementation, to do the sustainability check again and to derive at least 3 new measures. You want to go one step further? A change to a higher level is possible at any time, as soon as you can provide the relevant evidence.
