Sustainability reporting of APG|SGA draws positive balance for 2022

The Sustainability Reporting 2022 is already the 20th report with information on the status of implemented measures and goals of APG|SGA within the scope of the Corporate Social Responsibility strategy (CSR). The A- grade in the CDP Climate Change Score proves that the company is a leader in climate protection reporting. The company also sees itself on track to meet its ambitious multi-year targets of "net zero emissions by 2035." Markus Ehrle, CEO of APG|SGA, says: "We are solidly on track when it comes to implementing the Paris Agreement as well as the 1.5-degree target. Last year, despite significantly increased economic activities, our company was able to limit the increase in CO2 emissions to 2% and the total environmental impact to 4%. The reasons for this development were, in addition to the consistently implemented CSR strategy, voluntary and partly drastic energy saving measures. These were implemented in line with the federal government's energy-saving alliance and were supported by the entire workforce."

On the way to net zero

APG|SGA's understanding of sustainability, which has grown over decades, is anchored in the core of the company and continues to gain in importance. For this reason, APG|SGA created the staff position Head of Sustainability last year and filled it with Andres Trautmann. He says: "In the next few years, we want to make the effective transfer to a net-zero company. To do this, we are evaluating our entire processes and defining the necessary and realistic steps with which we can achieve permanent emission reductions." In 2023, APG|SGA plans to have its ambitious reduction targets validated by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) and to have an increased impact on its indirect emissions. In addition, APG|SGA is driving environmentally conscious products and services to support its customers and partners.

Social responsibility as an important cornerstone for sustainable coexistence

In addition to climate protection, APG|SGA has set itself high standards and goals for social responsibility as part of its holistic CSR strategy: APG|SGA is proud of its diversity. The company supports diversity and promotes gender balance. In addition, as an important element of a transparent and safe corporate culture, an anonymous whistleblower system was introduced in 2022. Occupational health management (OHM) contributes to well-being in the workplace. In addition, social and cultural partnerships are being further cultivated and expanded. APG|SGA sponsors various non-profit, cultural, and sports organizations in the low double-digit millions through poster sponsoring - including as a sponsor of the Swiss Out of Home Award and other creative competitions in the "Out of Home Media" category.
