GreenUp is a Swiss impact non-profit association that –  since 2016 – has been empowering individuals, communities and organisations to use resources wisely and embrace lighter, more satisfying ways of living and working.

We do this through multiple offerings such as our Employee Engagement Programme, international projects such as the Climate Hub Davos and the community programme GoSimple.

We believe in joyful learning by doing. That’s why our work is hands-on, fun but grounded in science and tested in the real world. Evidence guides us, action drives us. Together they create change that sticks.

We invite you to take a closer look at what we do and join us!

What We Offer

Systems don’t change at just one level. They shift when people, communities, businesses, institutions and culture move together. That’s why GreenUp works from the ground up and the top down at the same time, activating individual choices and organisational responsibility to drive real, lasting systems change across Switzerland.
