Lean & Green is a GS1 Switzerland initiative helping companies reduce CO₂ emissions across their logistics and supply chains. By joining Lean & Green, companies commit to taking concrete steps to cut CO₂ emissions, improve their environmental impact and foster sustainable logistics practices.
Swiss SMEs participating in Lean & Green enjoy various benefits including use of the Lean & Green brand and eligibility for awards. They can position themselves as industry pioneers in Switzerland and actively promote this status. They also benefit from extensive PR through all GS1 Switzerland communication channels. Additionally, the effectiveness of each company's action plan undergoes review. Participants gain access to knowledge sharing through both the international Lean & Green network and GS1 Switzerland's own network events. Companies directly engage a certification institute for verification.
