Thank you for your understanding, your GES-Team


Come and join GES for Green Drinks in Zurich, the reoccurring, informal networking event for everyone interested in environmental issues and having a great time.

Monday 13 February from 19:00 onwards

The event is open to all GES members and friends and you are welcome to bring guests along too, but these will need to register on our events page.


GES was pleased to organise a forum on sustainable mobility in cooperation with UBS Corporate Responsibility Management.

IMG_6035GES arranged for and invited the speakers from the transportation industry, all of whom are esteemed and experienced professionals: Wolfgang Mayrhuber, former chief executive of Deutsche Luftansa AG and head of the Corporate Responsibility Committee of the UBS Board of Directors, Stéphane Wettstein, managing director and CEO Bombardier Switzerland, and car designer and CEO of Rinspeed, Frank Rinderknecht, who also happens to be a GES member.

In addition to reflecting on the challenges facing their individual sectors in the coming years, the three speakers looked at the need to develop lightweight solutions across the entire transportation sector – vehicles, air transportation and even rail. Lighter, slimmer and more efficient forms of mobility are not only good for the environment, but also for the purse.

We at GES look forward to offering you more panel discussions and forums in the future, alongside our monthly Green Drinks event. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you would like to benefit from our global network of high-profile speakers, many of whom are members of GES, and our many years experience organising events.
