Climate Protection Policy

As part of the Klett Group, we strive for environmental sustainability in everything we do. We therefore aim to continuously reduce our CO₂ emissions through various measures. This means:

CO₂ emissions were recorded for the first time in 2021. The 2021 carbon footprint of the Kalaidos Education Group Switzerland showed total emissions of 4,050 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents. With a consolidated turnover of CHF 187 million, this corresponds to emissions of 22 tonnes per million in turnover.

Based on the 2021 carbon footprint, the individual companies determined to what extent and with what measures they want to substantially reduce their CO₂ emissions by 2028. The focus is on the areas that have the greatest impact on the environment: food services, commuting and heating. These so-called hot spots account for around 75 % of total emissions.

The 2022 carbon footprint of the Kalaidos Education Group Switzerland shows total emissions of 4,155 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents. This is a slight increase compared to the previous year. As the previous year still included several months with reduced emissions due to the pandemic, particularly in the hot spots, the stabilisation can be seen as a first step in the right direction. 

In order to measure the effectiveness of the measures taken, all group companies continue to record their carbon footprint annually. This is audited and certified with the Bronze Label from Swiss Climate.

The group's own printing company Edubook AG, which has been producing and distributing its print products in a climate-neutral manner for several years, is playing a pioneering role.
