APG|SGA has been awarded the ‘EcoEntreprise Certificate’ for sustainable development and social responsibility

APG|SGA’s successful EcoEntreprise certification provides concrete and credible confirmation of the leading Swiss outdoor advertising company’s ambitious commitment to sustainability. The EcoEntreprise programme is based on the global ISO 26000 standard and is awarded following a comprehensive audit by an independent, accredited certification body.

The balanced consideration of social, environmental and economic factors in decision-making processes has been enshrined in the APG|SGA corporate mission statement for decades. The ‘EcoEntreprise Sustainable Development – Social Responsibility’ certificate demonstrates to the public, and in particular to stakeholders in the partner and advertising markets, that the certified APG|SGA operates a comprehensive sustainability and risk management system. Since 2013, the national EcoEntreprise label has been Switzerland’s benchmark certification in the field of sustainable development and social responsibility. The programme is based on a comprehensive assessment checklist and a certification awarded following an independent audit. It takes into account various criteria such as environmental awareness, social solidarity and community relations, as well as economic performance.

Markus Ehrle, CEO of APG|SGA, says: “We are proud that we were able to achieve EcoEntreprise certification at the first attempt with a very good result. This confirms that APG|SGA has been practising results-oriented sustainability management for years and is strongly committed to continuous improvement.”

Andres Trautmann, Head of Sustainability at APG|SGA, explains: “This certification is extremely valuable to APG|SGA. To achieve this, we scrutinised our entire sustainability strategy and its day-to-day implementation across all areas of the company in great detail with an interdisciplinary working group. This process confirmed that we are operating at a very high standard. At the same time, we were able to identify a number of areas for improvement and have already implemented some of them.”
