Sustainability & commitment

Sustainability is part of everything we do – for the environment, for society and for you as an employee. When you work at CSS, you play an active role in shaping the future and leave a positive mark that makes a difference.

Our sustainability highlights

  • Reusable bottles & water stations
    We rely on durable, reusable drinking bottles and tableware to reduce waste and conserve resources. At all our locations, you’ll find water and coffee stations for refilling – convenient for you and better for the environment.
  • Digital replaces paper
    Many of our teams now work entirely paper-free. With modern tools such as SharePoint and MS Teams, you can save resources and work more efficiently. Together, we’re driving digitalisation and developing forward-looking work processes.
  • Do your bit with Rendez-Vert
    Our employee network engages in activities to promote sustainability. You can voice your thoughts, put ideas into action and work with other employees to make CSS even more sustainable.
  • Eco-friendly mobility
    Travel to work the eco-friendly way: Use Nextbikes in Central Switzerland or e-bikes at our Lucerne and Vennes locations. As a CSS employee, you can pick up a Nextbike in the whole of central Switzerland and ride it for 120 minutes free of charge – as often as you like. It’s good for the planet and for your daily exercise.

Learning about sustainability

On our Cosmos of Learning platform, you’ll find a wide range of e-learning courses on sustainability. We’ve also recorded online events from our sustainability weeks, which you can watch on the platform at any time.

Sustainable eating at work

At our main locations in Lucerne and Lausanne-Vennes, SV Group offers a wide selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes. SV Group is committed to sustainability and follows a responsible catering approach. This is our way of encouraging more sustainable eating habits and raising awareness of the topic.

Engagement beyond CSS

CSS supports you if you’d like to get involved in social programmes outside your day-to-day work. By agreement with your line manager, you can use up to three working days every three years for voluntary work with a charitable organisation. In addition, each team can spend one working day per year together on a social initiative.

ICT Campus Central Switzerland

CSS is host to the first ICT Campus in Central Switzerland, providing concrete support to young people with an interest in IT. At the ICT Campus, pupils who are curious about the digital world can work on exciting projects to discover their potential and develop their skills. Participants meet regularly during the school term to code, experiment and try out new ideas together. CSS is proud to be strengthening the ICT capabilities of our region's next generation. The campus is open to young people from all cantons in Central Switzerland and will help meet the future demand for skilled professionals.
