Sustainable Switzerland Forum

Driving Change. Creating Impact.

2 September 2025, BERNEXPO

The Forum is the sustainability conference for Swiss business, science and politics. Together we can achieve the transformation.

Focus Topics

At the fourth edition of the Sustainable Switzerland Forum, participants can choose to delve deeper into the topic of sustainability in one of three thematic streams: Circular economy, Supply chain tensions or AI & energy management. This division makes it possible to organize the morning according to individual interests and to go into more depth on one focus topics.

Circular economy

Where does the Swiss economy stand in relation to the circular economy? What strategies help to conserve resources and extend the life of products? How can companies benefit from models such as sharing, reusing, repairing and remanufacturing? Practical examples and panel discussions will provide insights into forward-looking solutions and invite you to join in the thinking and discussion.

Supply chain tensions

How do developments in international trade affect the regulation of sustainability and supply chains? What role do EU regulations play for Swiss companies and who is the driving force behind sustainable products - the companies, the customers or the legislators? The thematic stream deals with how companies successfully shape sustainable supply chains, from procurement to communication.

AI & energy management

Artificial intelligence offers new opportunities to accelerate sustainability. At the same time, data-intensive AI applications are increasing energy consumption. How can this trade-off be resolved? What is the right balance between efficiency and resource consumption? Practical examples and expert discussions will highlight the opportunities, challenges and solutions for the sustainable use of AI in the energy industry.

#SSF25 Speaker Announcement 📣 𝐒𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐥 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐭 𝐒𝐲𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐮𝐧𝐠 – 𝐍𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐠𝐤𝐞𝐢𝐭 𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐮𝐜𝐡𝐭 𝐌𝐮𝐭 𝐳𝐮𝐫 𝐓𝐢𝐞𝐟𝐞. Wie gelingt der Wandel hin zu einer grüneren, gerechteren und resilienteren Wirtschaft? Sandrine Dixson-Declève, Ehrenpräsidentin des Club of Rome und Co-Leiterin von Earth4All, zeigt am Sustainable Switzerland Forum 2025, warum kurzfristige Krisenlösungen („Band-Aid-Politik“) nicht ausreichen – und was es stattdessen braucht: einen systemischen Wandel, der ökologische Grenzen, soziale Gerechtigkeit und wirtschaftliche Stabilität zusammendenkt. Als internationale Impulsgeberin, Umweltwissenschaftlerin und eine der Top 25 Global Female Trailblazers (Reuters 2023) bringt sie Perspektiven, die über den Tag hinausweisen. 🗓️ Am 2. September in Bern – Nachhaltigkeit auf höchstem Niveau. 🎟️ Jetzt dabei sein: https://lnkd.in/eUpBQaNpShow more
