Actions for the planet

Climate change. While some worry about what can go wrong, we think it’s time to demonstrate what positive impact we can have when we all take action together.

Our Mission

It’s time to demonstrate what positive impact we can have when we all take action together. In 2021, we launched several challenges on Instagram & Facebook. Each one tackled a different environmental issue, reduced CO2 emissions and has had a measurable positive impact on the planet. Each challenge lasted 10 days and at the end we measured how much carbon we saved thanks to our collective efforts. Check out our results below!

The power of togetherness

What can go right when we bump elbows and join forces with those who take action? Well, an awful lot, we believe. That’s why we’re launching a new brand campaign around this notion of informed optimism and invite you to come with us on this journey to fight against climate change.

Zurich & COP26
