What Makes Switzerland Sustainable?

Mauro Cardoso

Updated: Nov 16, 2023

Switzerland has become a reference in environmental preservation due to an environmental policy, come with me and I'll tell you more...

To be considered a sustainable country, talk alone is not enough. It takes a strong agenda with freedom, responsibility in investments and, mainly, respect and investments in the environmental area

Let's start by talking about one of the great lessons of the European country, that's right, we are talking about sanitation. With the Ara Berne, one of the most modern water treatment plants in Europe, Switzerland stands out for being able to take good care of its water resources, they make sure that the residual sludge from sewage is treated and transformed into biogas, fuel for Bern city buses.


Every two years, the Environmental Performance Index, a study created by Columbia and Yale universities, in the United States, points out the most sustainable countries in the world. And according to the latest surveys, no country stands out in this mission as much as Switzerland.

One of Switzerland's innovations is called "Geothermal Power Plants", i.e. clean energy sources that use the heat coming from deep underground to supply the constant cold. Let me give a great example, agriculture, they rely on the melting snow that comes from the glaciers and turns pure water. The Swiss government has created programs to control the consumption of wood from their forests.


To conclude, let's emphasize that Switzerland makes sustainability part of all sectors of society, that has been made clear so far, right?! A good part of the buildings, for example, have photovoltaic panels, LED lighting, and geothermal pumps, capable of extracting energy from water to provide sustainable heating and cooling, the air conditioning in your office helps destroy the ozone layer.
