Specifically, the Scope 3 emissions of the companies in the Swiss Market Index fell by a good fifth compared to 2021. The pharmaceutical giant Roche, the technology group ABB and the sanitary technology company Geberit have significantly reduced their upstream and downstream emissions.
The sustainability reports of all SMI companies were taken into account for the study. Where the figures for 2021 are not listed in the current report, they were taken from an earlier version. Business units sold during the period under review were excluded.
