Climate Cent Foundation

The Climate Cent Foundation is a voluntary scheme set up by the Swiss business community with the aim of ensuring effective climate protection. It invests its funds in greenhouse gas reduction projects carried out abroad. Emission reduction certificates yielded by these projects are handed over to the Swiss Confederation free of charge. The Climate Cent Foundation was funded by a charge of 1.5 cent per litre levied on petrol and diesel imports in the years 2006 to 2012.
