Medisupport supports the following climate and biodiversity projects

Project no. 1: planting a sustainable forest

After consulting with the staff of the Medisupport network, Medisupport has selected the Mozambique project. The aim of the project is to engage with local communities to restore, replant and protect these vital forest systems.

Project no. 2: Revitalization of a peat bog in Switzerland

This measure will largely favor the rare and characteristic fauna and flora of peat bogs.This hydrological restoration will allow the characteristic mosses of the peat bogs, the sphagnum mosses, to effectively recolonize the environment and thus recreate the carbon sink through the accumulation of organic matter.

Project no. 3: Nature in the urban space

Green spaces in residential areas have a great as yet unexploited potential for promoting and conserving biodiversity.

Progressive reduction of CO₂ emissions

The Medisupport network continues its internal effort to progressively reduce CO₂ emissions.

Despite the rejection of the revision of the CO₂ law by the Swiss people in the vote of June 13, 2021, the issue of climate change remains. Nevertheless, the Paris Agreement requires its signatories to develop a long-term climate strategy. The Swiss Federal Council has set itself the goal of balancing Switzerland's greenhouse gas balance by 2050 (zero net emissions).

For its part, Medisupport, taking the same view as Sonic Healthcare, has also decided on a commitment to progressively reducing its CO₂ emissions.

In order to make its use of road transport as environmentally friendly as possible, the Medisupport network has already started to reduce the number of petrol-driven vehicles it operates and to replace them with an electrically-powered fleet. For congested urban centres, Medisupport has acquired five purely electrically-powered scooters, which are currently used in the city of Geneva for the Dianalabs and Dianapath laboratories. Three e-bikes are currently in service to meet the environmental challenge of city-centre traffic.

In Lucerne, the Bioanalytica laboratory is already operating a fleet of 12 hybrid vehicles. Currently, Medisupport has a fleet of 38 hybrid vehicles.
