Societal Impact

For Syntezia, sustainability also means considering the broader effects of innovation on people, communities and society.

Our sustainability reporting identifies the Social Impact of Innovations as a material topic and states that positive societal impact should be an important criterion in the conception and execution of projects.

This means that when we look at a new idea, product, service or project, we seek to consider not only whether it is technically feasible or economically viable, but also whether it can contribute positively to the people and communities affected by it.

Responsible Innovation

Syntezia's wider mission is centred on strategy, innovation, sustainability and positive change.

Our approach encourages clients and project teams to identify their objectives and priorities while integrating sustainability and social considerations into the way solutions are developed.

This can include helping organisations develop climate-friendly products, improve energy efficiency, use more sustainable materials, train employees and suppliers, or implement practical actions that contribute to a broader transformation of organisational culture.

Considering Stakeholders

Societal impact cannot be understood from the perspective of a company alone.

Syntezia therefore considers the interests and potential effects on stakeholders, including customers, users, employees, partners, suppliers and communities.

This principle is also reflected in the company's materiality assessment, which considers both the impact of sustainability topics on Syntezia and their impact on stakeholders and the wider environment.

Community Engagement

Syntezia's social responsibility also includes relationships beyond its direct business activities.

During the 2022–2024 reporting period, the company began engaging with local Geneva professional networks and held exploratory discussions with NGOs and local associations to investigate opportunities for collaboration around sustainable practices and awareness.

The company also identifies community engagement and knowledge sharing as part of its broader sustainability approach.

Events, Education and Knowledge Sharing

Syntezia seeks to create opportunities where people can meet, learn and exchange ideas.

Its workshops, events, training activities and innovation programmes are designed to bring together different perspectives around practical challenges.

The original Syntezia sustainability material also describes initiatives such as Syntezia Open, which brought people together around subjects such as carbon-free mobility and the symbiotic economy, using collaborative and participatory approaches.

From Ideas to Positive Change

Societal impact is also connected to Syntezia's project and ecosystem approach.

Through its communities of interest, mediation circles and project activities, Syntezia seeks to support innovative ideas and projects that can create high ESG impact.

The company also develops its own projects and works with clients on transformations where innovation can contribute to environmental, social and economic value.

Our Aim

Our goal is to ensure that innovation is not measured only by growth or financial performance.

We seek to support projects that create useful, responsible and lasting value for people, communities and the wider environment, while continuing to learn from our stakeholders and improve the positive impact of our own activities.
