CSR Risk Check
The CSR Risk Check tool is aimed at companies – in particular also small and medium-sized Swiss enterprises – that are importing from, exporting to or have production facilities in foreign countries to assess their social, environmental and governance risks in the value chain. With just a few clicks you can find out free of charge and anonymously which international CSR risks your business activities are exposed to and what you can do to manage them.
The existing website is a State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) pilot project, which is why there is currently no language version of the CSR Risk Check available in French and Italian.

This company makes sustainable touchscreens
Electronics and responsible manufacturing do not always seem to be a fortunate combination. The production of phones puts high pressure on the environment, along with associated risks to workers' health and wellbeing. For instance, extracting raw materials in mines can be dangerous. Likewise, stories of toxic chemicals in the production of phone screens are well-known.
Wakuli brings change to the coffee industry
The mission of Wakuli is to shake up the coffee industry. The company is committed to fair prices for coffee farmers and even derives its name from the word for farmers in the Swahili language (wakulima). Wakuli is also dedicated to sustainability and is exploring how their Brazilian production partner can switch to regenerative production methods.
