At Ricola, we have been making great strides since 2015. In 2016 the CO2 emission level set by the Swiss federal government was outperformed by 31 tons of CO2 although production volumes have increased. Since 2016 100% of our electricity usage is hydro powered. Since 2016 our new water tanks have been fully outfitted for heat recovery. Since 2016 use of an own electric car for business travel.
