What it is about
The increasing regulatory burden poses a serious challenge for Swiss companies. Complex reporting obligations, particularly in the area of sustainability, tie up tens of thousands of employees every year and cost hundreds of millions of francs - resources that are not available for genuine innovation and sustainable projects. At the same time, excessive regulations jeopardize competitiveness and inhibit entrepreneurial initiative.
Position of the economy
Market before state
- The state should only intervene where necessary - with clear subsidiarity, minimal market distortions and regular review of interventions.
More freedom for companies
- Entrepreneurial activity needs flexible, reliable framework conditions instead of excessive regulation.
Strengthening competition
- Functioning competition is key to innovation, prosperity and low prices - government intervention must not hinder this.
Responsibility instead of regulation
- Companies take responsibility for the environment and society - corporate social responsibility (CSR) works best without detailed government regulations.
Regulation with a sense of proportion
- New rules must be proportionate, internationally coordinated and innovation-friendly - especially in the areas of finance and sustainability.
Cooperation instead of control
- Sustainable development can only be achieved through cooperation between business, the state and civil society - not through unilateral obligations.
