Protecting the climate, strengthening SMEs. From businesses for businesses.
Under this motto, the Swiss Climate Foundation has been supporting projects from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) since 2009 that contribute to climate protection in Switzerland and Liechtenstein through innovation. The foundation is recognized as non-profit and is supervised by the federal government. It originated from an initiative of the private sector.
The partner companies of the Swiss Climate Foundation, which receive more money back from the redistribution of the CO2 steering levy on fuels than they have paid in the form of this tax, voluntarily pass on these funds out of conviction.
The foundation board of the Swiss Climate Foundation oversees the foundation, decides on strategies and funding, reviews support applications from SMEs, and represents the foundation externally.

The Swiss Climate Foundation achieves what others fail to: making climate protection economically efficient and innovation-friendly – and thereby keeping SMEs competitive for the future.
Bank J. Safra Sarasin
The focus on innovation with a tangible climate impact excites me just as much as the refreshing entrepreneurial spirit of the awarded companies – a true source of inspiration for sustainable investments.

My commitment to the Swiss Foundation for Climate is a source of pride. In my view, decarbonisation and innovation are key strategic priorities for the Swiss economy.
Innovative and sustainable solutions also require a lot of courage and strength. The Swiss Climate Foundation supports SMEs that possess these qualities.
The Advisory board of the Swiss Climate Foundation supports the foundation with expertise and strategic recommendations. As an expert body, it reviews funding applications and helps prioritize effective innovation projects for a climate-friendly future.
