Testimonial
Alois Zwinggi
Managing Director
World Economic Forum
The World Economic Forum is consistently making efforts to reduce the environmental impact at our Annual Meeting in Davos-Klosters. This includes offsetting all CO2 emissions from staff travel and by participants during the Meeting. Working actively with our stakeholders, we aim to further reduce our carbon footprint.
As an organization, we feel it is vital to work with the community to lower emissions. Working with local organizations in Davos, buses run for free during the Meeting to reduce the use of cars and taxis, while hotels are taking steps to saving on heating costs. The Forum is also increasing its shuttle bus service between Zurich Airport and Davos.
In keeping with the Forum’s environment work throughout the year, we want to minimize the Annual Meeting’s impact on both the local and broader environment.
