Sustainability

Growth that’s built to last.

As a public, non-profit institution, we measure success by the lasting impact of the companies we help build — and by how responsibly we run the place they grow in.

Being anchored by the Canton of Basel-Stadt means our responsibility runs beyond our own walls to the founders we support, the talent we help develop, and the region we help keep at the forefront of life sciences.

Sustainability, for us, is long-term thinking made concrete: in who we back, how we operate, and what we leave behind.

Where we focus

Four commitments, one direction.

Not a report full of numbers — a clear view of what we choose to prioritise as a public institution.

01

Diversity in who we back

Actively supporting female-led founding teams and diverse companies — because the best science comes from the widest range of people.

02

Long-term research impact

Backing companies whose work aims at real, lasting outcomes for patients and society — not just the next round.

03

Responsible operations

Running our labs, building and shared facilities responsibly, and improving how sustainably the place is operated over time.

04

Regional value creation

Keeping talent, companies and know-how in the Basel region — strengthening the ecosystem that everyone here relies on.

IN PRACTICE

The themes we report and act on.

A shared language for how we track responsibility — to be backed with concrete figures and initiatives as the programme develops.
