Ueber uns

The well-being of people and the environment is our focus.

CLB Schweiz strives for more social and environmental sustainability. We want to systematically and voluntarily reduce our negative social and environmental side effects to zero (net zero 2050) and help our clients to achieve this. Committed to the common good, we create solutions with social benefits together with our clients.

Why? – Our Purpose

For which social sustainability problems do we create solutions?

Global warming with all its side effects is one of the biggest social problems and CO2 emissions must be reduced drastically and quickly (so-called decarbonization of society). Committed to the common good, CLB Schweiz contributes to the decarbonization of society in the DACHI+* region through broadly coordinated and scientific solution contributions as well as comprehensible communication activities. *DACHI+: Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Principality of Liechtenstein and Italy.

What? – Our Vision

What does the world look like, when our vision has become reality?

As a leading private contact point for R&D projects and NGOs in the field of forest and wood, CLB Schweiz actively shapes the decarbonization of society, improves the economic, social and ecological sustainability of its clients and achieves a social impact through the free transfer of knowledge with society. Through its activities, CLB Schweiz primarily contributes to the Sustainable Development Goals SDG 8, 9, 12 and 13. We have the clear goal to positively influence SDG 4 and 5 in the future.
