Our energy emission amount to 359 tCO2e. While 100% of our electricity is sourced from renewables, 42,33% of our total energy consumption still relies on non-renewable resources. As we rent office space in all our locations, our direct influence on energy sourcing and infrastructure is limited. Nevertheless, we actively engage with our landlords to advocate for more sustainable energy solutions and improvements. To further reduce our environmental impact, we continue to optimize our office infrastructure with energy-efficient lighting and equipment and implement switch-off mechanisms for devices.

In 2024, material-related emissions at Walder Wyss amounted to 61 tCO2e. We aim to achieve the best value in our IT hardware sourcing while being mindful of our environmental impact. Specific service life guidelines have been established for our IT equipment, and hardware that remains functional but is no longer optimal is repurposed rather than discarded. iPhones and iPads are passed on to our employees for personal use, and notebooks are donated to the non-profit organization Labdoo, which refurbishes and distributes them to educational institutions in need. Through these initiatives, we contribute to reducing electronic waste and supporting educational causes.

In 2024, our firm used a total of 15’110 kg of paper, averaging 33,3 kg per employee. As part of the Walder Wyss digital strategy, we are actively working to digitalize internal processes and workflows. By expanding digital solutions, we aim to reduce paper consumption and promote more sustainable office practices across all locations.

Business travel is our largest source of emission, accounting for 490 tCO2e in 2024. Currently, only air travel is included in our emissions calculations. We are actively working to reduce these emissions through the implementation of smarter travel policies. For air travel within Europe, all employees are required to fly in Economy Class. For long-haul flights, Business Class may be used in accordance with internal guidelines.

Our carbon footprint from the below mentioned categories (not including office commute and other relevant emission categories for a complete operational carbon footprint) results in 909'979 tCO2e emissions in 2024, with business travel as the largest contributor. We are actively working to reduce emissions through smarter travel policies and supply chain engagement. In addition, we continue to optimize our office spaces to ensure lower energy consumption and climate-conscious operations.

* Please note that only the emission categories listed in the table above have been assessed. For a complete operational carbon footprint according to GHG protocol standards, more emission categories across the operational value chain need to be assessed. As we lease all our office spaces on a per-floor basis and our landlords do not yet provide exact heating and electricity consumption data for each unit, it is currently not possible to determine and disclose our precise energy usage. As a result, some calculations by myclimate rely on standard market assumptions.
