Yves Zumwald CEO
«A reliable, efficient and ecologically sustainable supply of electricity is the basis for economic prosperity and social coexistence in Switzerland and Europe. A smoothly functioning transmission system plays a vital role in ensuring a secure supply of electricity. To ensure that this remains the case in the future, we must act responsibly and in a goal-orientated manner. This applies not only to the safe operation, expansion and renovation of the grid, but also to our commitment to people, the environment and society.
By establishing sustainability in our Strategy 2027, we reaffirmed our intention to integrate sustainable, responsible actions even more strongly within the company and to systematise and take a more holistic view of the associated activities. Swissgrid is guided by the UN Sustain-able Development Goals 2030.»
