Sustainability in Export
Sustainability requirements increasingly influence market access, customer expectations, and competitiveness in international business.
S-GE supports Swiss exporters in understanding what this means in practice and in translating sustainability-related expectations into concrete steps for their international activities.
This page summarises how we help companies address sustainability topics in export. Ranging from value chain considerations to sector-specific opportunities such as infrastructure and CleanTech.
Information on sustainability requirements in target markets
Sustainability related requirements are increasingly relevant for market access and for working with larger business partners. S-GE provides companies with orientation on sustainability regulations in target markets and supports them with information and guidance that helps translate requirements into export relevant action.
Sustainability Toolbox for exporters
To make support easy to access, S-GE provides a Sustainability Toolbox on its website. It offers an organised overview of existing tools and suitable partners and is structured around ESG reporting, sustainable supply chains, and compliance topics that are particularly relevant in export business.
Sustainable supply chains and partner search
Sustainable supply chains are a key element of global trade and expectations for exporters continue to rise. S-GE helps companies evaluate existing partnerships and find new partners along the supply chain, including cooperation with internationally recognised organisations such as EcoVadis.
Supporting Swiss sustainability solutions internationally
Export promotion also means helping Swiss companies with sustainability solutions scale internationally. S-GE supports the international business development of innovative sustainability solutions, including cleantech, by combining market knowledge, partner access, and targeted support formats.
