Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Swiss Prime Site (SPS) aims for net-zero by 2040, with 77.2% renewable energy in 2024 and CO₂ intensity at 7.7 kg/m². 97% of its portfolio is certified, and it reports an 84% waste diversion rate. Employee satisfaction is high, with 87% reporting a great workplace and 100% CEO approval. SPS maintains a whistleblower policy and zero-tolerance for bribery. However, critics point to a lack of quantitative data on pay equity. Information on advanced cybersecurity is limited, and reliance on third-party providers has been linked to broader industry vulnerabilities. The company generates significant construction waste, with specific diversion data reportedly lacking.
