The Foundation’s total income in 2025 amounted to 44.54 million Swiss francs, which was lower than the previous year’s figure (2024: 55.67 million CHF). Income from donations and contributions to climate protection once again accounted for the largest share at CHF 37.6 million. The ‘Consulting and Solutions’ and ‘Climate Education’ divisions contributed CHF 3.0 million and CHF 1.3 million respectively to total revenue.
To put these figures into context: myclimate changed its accounting policies as of 1 January 2023 (see 2024 Consolidated Financial Statements). Since then, revenue has only been recognised once a service has been provided to the customer and the certificates sold in the process were in the foundation’s possession at that time. As at 31 December 2025, CHF 5.8 million was therefore deferred as prepayments from customers. Excluding these deferrals, revenue for 2025 would have amounted to CHF 43.3 million, and CHF 45.8 million in the previous year. Despite challenging circumstances, the project area—which is vital for the Foundation and climate protection—was thus completed within the planned budget.
In a challenging economic climate, companies and private individuals took responsibility for around 2.4 million tonnes of CO₂ in 2025. At the same time, myclimate climate protection projects generated 2.9 million tonnes of certified emissions reductions. Since its foundation in 2002, a total of over 25.8 million tonnes of CO₂ have thus been avoided or sequestered.
In addition to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the projects also contribute to the UN SDGs: more than 12.2 million people have benefited from the measures since the organisation’s inception – for example, through the construction of biogas digesters and the associated improvement in the health of women and children, or through reforestation projects that generate income for smallholder farmers.
Setting the course for long-term impact
To remain capable of acting in the long term, myclimate took decisions in 2025 that were not easy but necessary. These included adaptations to processes and structures, as well as a reduction in teams and management levels. Since August 2025, the Foundation myclimate has been led by co-CEOs Florian Goppel and Pascal Wieser as part of a joint management team. In Germany, Harald Rettich took over as managing director of myclimate Deutschland gGmbH.
“2026 will be a year of setting the course: in Switzerland, parliamentary discussions on the CO2 Act from 2031 onwards will send out important signals. With the new SBTi Net-Zero corporate standard and the EU’s Empowering Consumers Directive, which becomes binding in September, our clients once again have a secure legal framework for their commitment to climate protection. With expanded methodologies for Article 6.4 of the Paris Agreement, clearer rules and eligibility restrictions in mandatory frameworks such as CORSIA, as well as quality initiatives such as the Core Carbon Principles, we are entering an era of clarity and commitment. These developments present challenges. At the same time, they represent an opportunity for myclimate to drive climate protection forward with integrity, innovation and impact,” says Co-CEO Florian Goppel, offering an optimistic outlook.
Focus on CO₂ markets and integrated net-zero pathways
Looking ahead, myclimate intends to further refine the course it has set. In future, the strategic focus will be even more strongly on CO₂ markets, climate protection projects and integrated net-zero pathways in order to achieve the greatest possible impact for climate protection – together with committed partners from business and society.
