Swiss Medtech: Net-Zero Roadmap for Medical Device Firms

As of January 2024, The Climate and Innovation Act (KIG) has officially come into force, setting a clear pathway for Swiss companies to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.

What Are the Requirements?

Under the new law, businesses applying for funding must submit a net-zero roadmap, which must include:

• • A detailed carbon footprint assessment
  • Defined reduction targets
  • A concrete action plan to reach net-zero emissions by 2050

Swiss Medtech’s Roadmap for Medical Device Manufacturers

Recognizing the unique challenges faced by the manufacturing sector, Swiss Medtech is developing a sector-specific roadmap for SMEs in the medical device industry. This roadmap will provide tailored guidance and strategies to support compliance with the new law and is expected to be published in summer 2025.

Where Can Larger Companies Find Guidance?

For larger companies or those outside the scope of this industry roadmap, additional information and guidance can be found on the Swiss Federal Office of Energy’s website.
