What are the goals of Impact Gstaad?
With its projects, Impact Gstaad aims to have a measurable impact on the sustainability strategy within the destination of Gstaad and, as an ambitious impact investing hub, to connect influential locals and guests with sustainability visionaries.
Impact Gstaad initiates, develops and accompanies local sustainability projects, implements its own flagship projects and connects curated international sustainability visionaries with global impact with potential investors. This is done with the aim of making a measurable contribution to both a sustainable Gstaad and a sustainable world ("From little Gstaad to the big world"). This goal is based on two principles:
Own action
We don't just talk about change, we are an active part of it ourselves. With local projects and our own flagship projects, we become sustainability visionaries ourselves, together with regional partners from the Destination Gstaad. In doing so, we become credible as an organization, act in line with the destination strategy and have the opportunity to involve the (local) population and perceive and document the direct impact of our actions.
Triggering action
With the Impact Circle Events and the Impact Forum, we offer sustainability visionaries the opportunity to present their products, projects, ideas and visions to potential investors or donors.
Why Gstaad?
With its geographic and geopolitical location as well as its international appeal, Gstaad stands in a very special field of interest. As a mountain region geared towards winter tourism, the destination is particularly affected by climate change and advancing urbanization. The topic of sustainability has therefore long been a major priority in the development goals of the Destination Gstaad and is an important component of the tourism destination strategy.
With its commitment to local sustainability projects and the initiation of its own flagship projects, Impact Gstaad underlines its credibility, responds to the needs of the region and consistently pursues the sustainability strategy set out in its mission statement.
