We are responsible for our environment and aim to continuously reduce our carbon footprint. We are therefore pursuing Group-wide reduction targets and offsetting CO2 emissions via certified projects.

Operational ecology goals of Swiss Life Group

In terms of operational ecology, we will reduce CO2 emissions per full-time employee (FTE) by 50% compared to 2019. We offset unavoidable CO2 emissions by supporting certified projects in core European markets.  

Measures at Swiss Life Switzerland       

  • Swiss Life Switzerland is a member of the Zurich Energy Model and has been obtaining all its electricity from renewable energy sources for over ten years. The Zurich Energy Model is an association of companies that set themselves voluntary targets for energy efficiency. In the targets set in 2020, Swiss Life pledged to increase energy efficiency at its Zurich location by 1.5% annually until 2030.
  • Our head office in Zurich is virtually CO2 neutral. We have been cooling and heating the building with lake water since the beginning of the 1990s. In February 2024, we installed a photovoltaic system. At the Binz premises in Zurich, we utilise rainwater for sanitary installations. We have been using Swiss biogas for heating the buildings at both locations since 2023.
