Products for more sustainability

Today, mobility must meet numerous requirements – both the individual need for transportation and the need for economical and environmentally friendly transport. Motor vehicles are proving to be more efficient in fuel economy and more economical in greenhouse gas emissions. But even the most environmentally friendly motor vehicle is not (yet) entirely without emissions. That is why we believe a green investment for motor vehicle insurance makes sense. As a second-best solution to balance unavoidable climate impact, having a reliable partner is better than doing nothing.

For insurance, climate protection is part of our core business. Together with our customers, we are the first to be affected by the consequences of climate change. That is why every contribution to climate protection counts. We also invest in climate protection projects to the extent of our remaining emissions (e.g. due to business transactions).

Your motor vehicle/fleet releases a certain amount of CO2. Depending on the amount of your climate protection investment, you can save the same amount or part of it elsewhere. This is where our cooperation partner myclimate comes into play. It uses your investment in climate protection projects that meet the highest standards and demonstrably avoid harmful greenhouse gases or permanently withdraw them from the atmosphere.

The polluting emissions are calculated based on information on the type of vehicle, the type of fuel and fuel consumption. The amount of your investment will be determined based on either the mileage of your car you have specified or the fuel consumption for your fleet. You can then easily pay by invoice, credit card, PayPal or Twint.

With climate protection investments, harmful greenhouse gases are avoided or removed from the atmosphere through corresponding climate protection projects. Examples include projects that involve switching to a more environmentally friendly energy infrastructure, as well as reforestation or forest conservation projects.

The Swiss climate protection foundation myclimate is a proven partner for effective voluntary climate protection – locally and globally. By the end of 2018 the foundation was able to mobilise CHF 110 million worldwide for climate protection projects, reducing 6.24 million tonnes of CO2 emissions. The patronage committee of the foundation includes former Federal Councillor Doris Leuthard, the initiator, pilot and president of Solar Impulse, Bertrand Piccard and the ETH professor and co-author of the climate report, Reto Knutti.

Yes. After the climate protection investment has been made, you will receive confirmation from myclimate confirming the investment. The charitable foundation invests at least 80 percent of your investment in certified climate protection projects. myclimate requires the remaining 20 percent to cover administrative and foundation-internal costs, e.g. the salaries of employees and their office space.

myclimate is a non-profit organisation. Your climate protection investments can, therefore, be deducted from taxes in all cantons. You can download the ordinances of the individual cantons from myclimate's website and enclose your donation receipt or with a proof of payment (copy of payment slip or account statement) with your tax return.
