Dear Reader,

Case study: Swisscom’s policies, measures and initiatives for increasing its energy efficiency

The greatest impact Swisscom has on the environment is through its energy consumption and the related CO2 emissions, so, as one of the ten biggest purchasers of energy in Switzerland, Swisscom is striving to boost energy efficiency, in order to minimize the environmental impact of its business activities.

By identifying, measuring, managing and changing Swisscom is essentially in control of this very important aspect of CSR/ Sustainability.

The case studies sent out weekly through the FBRH SustainCase Newsletter are intended to give you insights on how you can maintain and increase the value of your company, through a structured process and the use of the Global Reporting Initiative's Standards. We demonstrate how companies worldwide are dealing with their most important impacts (economic, environmental and social) and how they are succeeding in the long-term by building and maintaining favourable reputations and relationships with key stakeholders who can hold them back or stop them from reaching their objectives.

I thank you for taking the time to read through this letter. I hope the information provided through the www.sustaincase.com newsletter is of value to you and your company. If you wish to unsubscribe please follow this link.

Abstract

The Swiss Confederation’s 2050 energy strategy calls for the consistent use of opportunities to increase energy efficiency and shift to renewable energies. In keeping with this strategy, Swisscom is aiming, by the end of 2020, to increase its energy efficiency by a further 35% compared with 1 January 2016. After measuring and setting targets, Swisscom took action to reduce energy consumption in its network (such as the “Mistral” energy-saving project for the cooling of its telephone exchanges), data centres, buildings (for example, the “Pioneer @ Swisscom Energiechecks” programme throughout the entire company) and vehicles, reduce the amount of energy it uses to heat its buildings, use sustainable ICT (Information and Communications Technology) and utilize waste heat.
