The Insel Group, a large and important employer in the canton of Bern, takes responsibility for a clean environment and a pleasant workplace by promoting sustainable actions and business practices.
In September 2022, the Group launched a Sustainability Award where employees can submit ideas and projects to promote sustainability in the areas of people, resources, climate, energy, mobility and infrastructure/area. Interest in the prize was tremendous, with almost 40 projects and ideas being submitted. Four projects impressed the panel of judges so much that they were deemed to be of equal merit and won 2nd and 3rd place respectively.
For the Insel Group, which has declared environmental and health promotion a high priority, the award of the Sustainability Prize is a milestone on its way to becoming a sustainable hospital.
"It is overwhelming to see how strongly the employees of the Insel Group are committed to more sustainability in their working environment and are contributing creatively with new solutions. We would be delighted if this commitment were to inspire other departments and areas within and outside the Insel Group and encourage them to copy and develop the ideas further."
Nina Tammler, Head of the Sustainability Unit
