Change | Student Impact

We believe that sustainable businesses are the key to a better future for our society and environment. By supporting start-ups, SMEs, NGOs or associations with a positive impact, we strengthen their effect.

In this way, we apply our business know-how where forward-looking ideas are created and implemented and contribute to making them more economically successful and thus even more effective.

For Students

Our members benefit from intensive practical experience and an extensive training programme already during their academic education. This provides them with new perspectives and gives them a head start in their careers. Through our client focus, our members are simultaneously sensitised to sustainable business and take this perspective with them into their future professional functions.

For Companies

Values

Commitment

Our members are convinced of the idea of Student Impact and are fully committed to our work. That is why we provide high-quality work at a professional level and thus redefine the standards and requirements for a student consultancy.

Responsibility

For us, sustainability is not a central economic issue of the future, but of the present. By supporting sustainable ideas and educating our members, we live up to our position as future decision-makers and take responsibility for the environment, society and the economy.

Encouragement

Through intensive project work and individual development and challenge, we live a unique spirit in which all members know, appreciate and support each other. We motivate and push each other to break new ground and constantly develop ourselves further.

Project Requirements

For Student Impact, the term sustainability encompasses the following three dimensions:

People

Projects interact responsibly with their employees and partners and create social added value for society.

Planet

Projects use natural resources responsibly and create ecological added value for the environment.

Profit

Projects handle their financial resources responsibly and create long-term ecological added value.

Student Impact focuses exclusively on clients that offer social and/or environmental added value in addition to profitability. For start-ups, NGOs and associations, this added value must lie in the core activity of the organisation; for SMEs and large companies, at least the corporate division or the project mission must be sustainably oriented.

Watt d'Or

Every year, the Swiss Federal Office of Energy (SFOE) awards the Watt d’Or to innovative projects that pave the way to the energy future. Student Impact was awarded as a partner of the project “Futuricum” in the category for energy-efficient mobility. The Futuricum is an electrically powered 26-tonne recyclable waste collection vehicle.

“Futuricum is a great example of how new technologies can contribute to a sustainable future. It shows what can be achieved with commitment and ingenuity,” says Amanda Pescatore, Student Impact Project Manager.
