Beyond Gravity publishes its Sustainability Report 2025, highlighting continued progress in embedding Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles across the organization. As the space industry continues to grow rapidly, the company reinforces its commitment to balancing technological advancement with responsible and sustainable practices – on Earth and in space.
In 2025, Beyond Gravity continued to deliver solid operational performance while further strengthening its sustainability agenda. “Considerations beyond economic factors have increasingly gained importance in how companies operate and develop their business. We are working on ways to introduce those into our processes”, says Sunniva Bitschnau, Senior Global Sustainability Manager.
Progress in sustainability in 2025
A key milestone was the transition to renewable electricity across all sites. While all locations directly source renewable electricity, U.S. operations additionally use renewable energy certificates to support equivalent investments in renewable generation, further reducing the company’s footprint.
At the same time, emissions at selected production sites, particularly Zurich Seebach and Linköping, increased due to higher production volumes and volatile CO2e emission factors for heating. Overall performance remains stable, with continued focus on targeted reduction measures and transparency.
On the social side, the global employee survey with more than 1,200 participants confirmed strong engagement, inclusion, and collaboration across the organization, while also identifying opportunities to improve communication and efficiency.
Health, Safety, Security and Environment (HSSE) remained a key priority, supported by strong performance across all sites and reinforced through the introduction of an HSSE Award.
Innovation continues to support sustainability efforts, from improving operational efficiency to enabling more sustainable space technologies.
Contributions from Space
In 2025, Beyond Gravity contributed to major international missions including ESA’s Biomass satellite, Meteosat Third Generation Sounder-1 with Copernicus Sentinel-4, the NISAR Earth observation mission, as well as new Galileo, Sentinel-1D, MetOp Second Generation A1, and Sentinel-6B satellites.
These missions provide critical data for understanding climate change, monitoring Earth’s systems, and supporting environmental decision-making worldwide.
Looking ahead
Beyond Gravity will further strengthen its sustainability approach, with a focus on Scope 3 emissions, supply chain transparency, and improved ESG data quality. The company is currently working on a strategy to formalize this approach for the years to come.
Barbara Frei-Spreiter, CEO of Beyond Gravity says: “Sustainability performance is fundamental to long-term business success. They strengthen trust with our customers, partners, employees, and investors, and are therefore a key driver of resilient and sustainable growth. By embedding ESG into how we operate and make decisions, we ensure that we create value responsibly – today and in the future.”
