About us
Shaping future together
The world is in a state of upheaval: the energy transition, digitalisation and industrial change present us with new challenges – and at the same time open up unimagined opportunities to increase efficiency, productivity, climate protection and prosperity.
At Equans Switzerland, we see this change as an opportunity; as a full-service provider for buildings, infrastructure and energy, we develop future-proof solutions for a world worth living in – both today and tomorrow. From innovative energy concepts and renewable energies through to digital buildings and smart cities. More than 180 years of history have made us what we are today – a highly effective team that creates a shared vision by joining forces, pooling expertise and being passionate about everything it does.
Our three-peak strategy
for sustainability in business
The “three-peak strategy” underscores Equans Switzerland’s commitment to shaping a positive future through responsible actions and sustainable management. We assume responsibility on every level – for our employees, for our customers and for the environment.
Change requires direction, persistence and inspiration. The symbolism of the three iconic peaks of the Eiger, the Mönch and the Jungfrau in the Bernese Alps is therefore an apt reflection of our ambitions.
Eiger
The challenge
The north face of the Eiger is one of the most challenging ascents in the Alps. For us, it symbolises our responsibility as an employer – more than 6,000 employees place their trust in us. We want to be the employer of choice in our industry – offering development opportunities, genuine participation and a shared vision.
Mönch
The foundation
The Mönch stands for stability and balance – and for the Swiss values of reliability, precision and quality. Our local roots and national networks enable us to implement projects throughout Switzerland. We embody Swissness – in our understanding of service, in the execution of our projects and in our proximity to our customers. These values are the foundations for our long-term success.
Jungfrau
The vision
The Jungfrau – the highest and most impressive peak – represents our vision for the future. We want to be a customer-centric company, providing our customers with reliable support throughout the three transitions – industrial change, the energy transition and digitalisation. The Jungfrau is our North Star, guiding us on the path towards a more sustainable, smarter and more liveable Switzerland.
The ascent begins
– together
Because anyone who wants to shape the future has to start today.
At Equans Switzerland, we don’t just help shape change – we assume responsibility for it. With a clear strategy, strong values and the trust of our employees and customers, we’re ready to take on the path to the summit.

Shaping the future together
Our vision
The decarbonisation of our way of life is closely intertwined with the three transitions. Digitalisation, the energy transition and industrial change enable the path to a low-carbon future.
We want to be recognised as the undisputed market leader in accelerating our customers’ transition to a low-carbon and resilient world.
Industrial change
Industrial change – the shift towards smart, efficient and digital processes – requires companies to radically rethink their approach. By systematically analysing, evaluating and optimising processes, we increase our customers’ added value and competitiveness over the long term. In doing so, we rely on the synergy of digital solutions, efficient energy systems and optimised industrial processes.
Energy transition
Reducing CO2 emissions is one of the greatest challenges of our time, the main focus being the energy transition. At Equans Switzerland, we develop solutions for sustainable climate protection: we integrate renewable energies, plan and implement efficient building technology, build smart grids and design entire low-carbon sites.
Digitalisation
The construction sector is in a state of upheaval – processes are becoming increasingly digitalised, resulting in increased efficiency, quality and value creation. Digital platforms enable knowledge sharing and collaboration on an unprecedented level. We make the most of the opportunities presented by the “digital transition” and focus on efficient and innovative processes.
Ready for the future

The common goal is to successfully overcome the big challenges of the future and help shape the three transitions. As a full-service provider, we pool expertise from a wide range of trades to develop holistic solutions to complex challenges. Everything we do stems from our values – respect, responsibility, team spirit and service orientation.
