Governance System & Social Responsibility
Our commitments since the creation of Syntezia Sàrl have been guided by the principles of the Swiss eco-business framework, inspired by ISO 26000 and responsible work-ethics best practices.
Our RSE / CSR approach provides a framework for how we structure our governance, make decisions and evaluate our responsibilities towards our stakeholders. It brings together environmental, social and economic considerations within our company practices, with a focus on transparency, accountability and continuous improvement.
Discover how these principles are translated into our governance, internal practices and wider commitments below.
Direction
Leadership That Takes Responsibility
At Syntezia, our CSR commitments are supported directly by management, with the Managing Partner acting as the company’s CSR sponsor. These principles are shared across the organization and reflected in the way we set priorities, make decisions and shape our projects and services.
Our CSR approach is integrated into Syntezia’s broader governance and operating model. Social and environmental considerations are taken into account when defining strategic directions, developing projects, designing services and launching new initiatives.
Our work ethics are non-negotiable. We place strong value on respect, transparency and continuous improvement, with a constant focus on quality, impact and excellence — from our everyday practices to the development of innovative project proposals.
Company
Transparency, Dialogue & Social Impact
Syntezia is committed to transparent governance and open dialogue with its key stakeholders, including around maintaining a healthy balance between personal and professional life. Our commitment to society and the wider community is ongoing and transparent, expressed through active and financial participation in associations across Switzerland.
Internal Processes
Clarity in Action
Clear and efficient processes are essential to how Syntezia delivers its mission. This applies across our services, including mediation circles, financing support, eco-responsible events, coaching, conferences, prospective workshops and training.
Our approach also extends to responsible purchasing and the selection of new innovative projects, ensuring that our internal practices combine operational efficiency with thoughtful management of human, material and natural resources. We continuously consider the environmental impact of our activities and look for ways to improve how we operate.
Environment
Protecting What Matters
Decarbonization and environmental sustainability have been anchored in Syntezia’s company principles since its creation. We are particularly attentive to energy, natural resources, the protection of water resources and the preservation of biodiversity.
Syntezia Open, our series of open and eco responsible events, focuses on the climate emergency and the search for pragmatic solutions, including carbon free mobility and the circular and symbiotic economy.
We continuously seek to strengthen our environmental practices through the protection and preservation of natural resources, the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and the protection of biodiversity.
Social Health & Safety
People First, Always
The health and safety of our internal and external stakeholders are a priority at Syntezia. Our commitment to societal impact has been part of the company’s approach since its early days.
We regularly discuss and review ways to improve our policies and company practices together with our employee-partners and stakeholders, with a particular focus on social responsibility, health and safety, and ethical practices.
We also seek to understand and strengthen the positive societal impact of our activities, while continuously improving the way we support the people and communities connected to our work.
Economy
Sustainable Models for Long-Term Value
We continuously explore blue, regenerative, circular and symbiotic economic models to support the long-term development of our own projects in Switzerland and Europe, while integrating responsible digital practices into our ideas and innovations.
Whether for Syntezia, our suppliers or our customers, we consider both economic and environmental sustainability. We also take into account the financial impact of our activities on local markets, valuing proximity with customers and suppliers, including physical, linguistic and cultural connections.
