A Message from the Board of Directors

“Our platforms play an important role in enabling more sustainable choices at scale – for our users and for Switzerland’s broader transition towards a more circular economy.

Every day, millions of people rely on our marketplaces to make decisions that shape how they live, move, and consume. Introducing greater sustainability to these decisions is a core element of our long-term strategy.”

2025 marked an important milestone for SMG. Along our IPO journey, we consolidated our data foundations further to meet the governance standards of a public company. Reliable, high-quality data is essential. It allows us to measure progress, identify what works, and focus our efforts where they have the greatest impact. In this context, we completed our first ESRS-aligned double materiality assessment, providing a clear framework for our sustainability roadmap and improving our disclosures.

At the same time, we continued to advance initiatives that deliver tangible impact. Our sixth Secondhand Day achieved record visibility throughout Switzerland, reflecting growing engagement in circular consumption. We enhanced our avoided emissions methodology and published our first Avoided Emissions Report, making the environmental contribution of our General Marketplaces platforms Ricardo, tutti.ch, and anibis.ch more transparent. At the same time, we made further progress towards our net-zero targets and launched our first diversity and inclusion strategy.

Looking ahead, our ambition remains clear. We want to enable sustainable choices at scale while reinforcing our operations to remain resilient, reduce risks, and create long-term value. Our focus is on where our platforms can make the biggest difference: supporting more sustainable consumer behaviour, advancing transparent markets, and providing safe and trusted digital environments.

Beyond our own operations, our platforms have the potential to accelerate shifts in consumption patterns across Switzerland. Significant value remains unused in households. Making circular choices more visible, intuitive, and accessible can unlock this potential and sustainably increase the climate benefits of secondhand consumption.

Meaningful change takes persistence, collaboration, and a long-term perspective. We remain committed to using our platforms to drive initiatives that create tangible value for our users, partners, and teams.
