Ypsomed AG makes injection systems for self-medication. The Swiss company is headquartered in Burgdorf, Bern, and sells its products worldwide. It employs more than 2,000 people. Ypsomed has been committed to protecting the environment for many years and has already implemented comprehensive internal measures to reduce carbon emissions.

Swiss Climate is supporting Ypsomed on the road to net zero by purchasing high-quality carbon credits that can be used to offset residual emissions from products and business activities. Swiss Climate has worked with Ypsomed to develop a portfolio of offsetting projects that are in line with the company’s corporate philosophy. These include a removal project in Tanzania that not only avoids carbon emissions but actively binds carbon and permanently stores it in biomass. As well as helping to store atmospheric CO₂, this reforestation project for native forests also contributes towards the social and economic development of the region.

‘We are committed to reducing our emissions to a minimum along the entire value chain, or avoiding them altogether. That is our top priority. We are offsetting residual carbon emissions with high-quality, externally certified projects in order to reach net zero emissions in the future."
