Building Trust through Transparency
Sustainability Report 2024
Navigating a Sustainable Future at SMG
We have built a solid foundation and are making good progress on our sustainability journey. Together, we have already achieved a lot in our efforts to create a company that lives and breathes the principles of sustainability and responsible business.
Unlocking the Potential of our Platforms to enable better,
more Sustainable Choices at Scale
Emissions Down,
Transparency Up
In 2024, we cut our GHG emissions from 4,229 tCO₂e to 3,638 tCO2e (-14%) across all scopes, including a 45% drop in Scope 1 and 55% in Scope 2. With net-zero targets for Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030 and our first TCFD-aligned risk assessment completed, we’re turning carbon ambition into measurable, accountable climate action.
Protecting People,
Powering Confidence
We’re raising the bar on digital trust. In 2024, we launched passwordless authentication for employees and multi-factor authentication (MFA) for some of our platforms. Backed by AI-powered threat detection and continued security education, we’re committed to keeping millions of users safe, every day.
Leading the Circular Future of Swiss Marketplaces
More circular, less wasteful—one listing at a time. In 2024, we helped buyers and sellers avoid over 70’000 tonnes of CO₂e through circular consumption on our General Marketplaces. By choosing second-hand, our users aren’t just saving money, they're helping avoid carbon emissions by giving products a longer life.
Empowering our Employees to thrive through Purpose and Growth
We’re building a culture of trust, inclusion, and growth, where flexible work, fair rewards, and continuous learning empower our employees to succeed. In 2024, we welcomed our Serbian contractors as full SMG employees, introduced a global profit-sharing plan—further strengthening a unified and engaging workplace environment.
