Our Programmes
Climate Action
In response to the urgent climate crisis, we work closely with communities to promote environmental stewardship. Our efforts include grassroots initiatives such as reforestation, coastal clean-ups, and climate education. We are affiliated with the D+M Hydrogen Energy Association and Swiss Protect the Planet Association, and support broader movements like Planethon365 and Salt of the Earth, a project by Benedict Cumberbatch and Sophie Hunter, which aligns with our commitment to sustainability.

Patrons, including Mondejar Foundation founder Minerva Mondejar Steiner, gained exclusive access to areas within the salt marshes, gaining deeper insight into their fragility and ecological importance. The tour was followed by a Patron Lunch on one of the historic islands in the lagoon, offering guests a unique opportunity to reflect on the importance of preserving these ecosystems.
