1. Climate Protection and Climate Adaptation

Rapp aims for climate neutrality and demonstrably promotes sustainable construction, sustainable mobility and the use of renewable energies. 

The warming of the Earth's atmosphere is leading to changes in the global climate system. The building sector is responsible for almost 40% of all energy-related and process-related emissions. Climate protection measures in the building and construction sector are among the most cost-efficient and effective levers. Source  

The mobility sector also contributes significantly to climate change, accounting for 32% of total emissions in Switzerland.  

It is important to pursue efficient and sufficient concepts that limit emissions but are also compatible with future climate conditions. Droughts, urban overheating and floods are just some of the challenges our current infrastructure will have to face in the future.   

Specific targets

  • Rapp will reduce company-related emissions by 50% by 2030 compared to 2022. The emissions figures are entered annually into the control system with a reduction pathway.
  • Rapp increases sustainability consulting in all business areas.
  • Rapp reduces its own waste compared to 2022 through reduce, reuse, recycle, especially with regard to electrical appliances.
