Sustainability and commitment

The fenaco cooperative is a dependable, reliable partnership with integrity. It pursues a sustainability strategy with seven core themes that guide its business activities.

The fenaco cooperative aligns its business activities with the three aspects of sustainability – economic, social and ecological. This is in accord with the recognised definition of sustainability.

« The preservation and regenerative use of natural resources and ecosystems are considered to be the central precondition for social and economic development. »

In the context of its sustainability strategy, fenaco has defined seven core themes that inform its business decisions and activities. The seven core themes of sustainability are close to the sustainability objectives of the United Nations (UN) and form a direct link with corresponding challenges in Switzerland, fenaco’s main area of operation.
