Sustainable investment
Increasing value through sustainability
Sustainability is an integral part of Implenia's business and value system, which makes Implenia's shares and bonds attractive to those investors who take a sustainable approach to investment.
Certification and ratings
Implenia is certified under the ISO 14001 standard - Environmental Management - and has pursued its own sustainability strategy since 2009. Our sustainability reporting is based on the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI).
A raft of top ratings reflects the external recognition that Implenia's sustained commitment has received in recent years. MSCI ESG - one of the world's leading credit rating agencies - gave Implenia an AAA rating in 2023, for example. EcoVadis, the world's largest provider of sustainability ratings, confirmed Implenia's Gold status in 2023. This puts the Group in the top five percent of the more than 100,000 companies evaluated by EcoVadis. Implenia also received above-average sustainability scores from rating companies Sustainalytics and Inrate.

"Green" credit financing
In 2018 Implenia became the first industrial company in Switzerland to link its credit margin to its sustainability performance. This performance is determined annually by Sustainalytics, a leading international provider of ESG ratings. In 2023, Implenia consolidated its leading position (#2) - both overall and in the three individual areas - among a total of 61 companies in the "Construction & Engineering" sector, scoring 86 points. This was a one-point improvement on the previous year's rating. The Sustainalytics "ESG Risk Rating" also puts Implenia in the top six percent of companies. Thanks to its consistent high ratings, Implenia benefits from favourable conditions on the capital market.
Implenia published its new Sustainability Report on 28 February 2024. The Sustainability Report details all the sustainability objectives and activities in all three dimensions - environmental, financial and social.
