The construction industry is a real heavyweight when it comes to environmental pollution - it causes almost 40 per cent of CO₂ emissions and is responsible for more than 80 per cent of all waste produced in Switzerland. No other sector leaves such a large ecological footprint.
But this is precisely where the opportunity for change lies: sustainable solutions are no longer a nice-to-have, but an urgent necessity. More and more companies are therefore relying on optimised construction processes and digital tools that help to conserve resources and work more efficiently.
Timber construction: sustainability with a system
For timber construction companies, sustainability is a lived practice. Wood as a building material binds CO₂, is recyclable and conserves resources - a real pioneer in climate protection. But sustainable construction does not end with the choice of material. In order to fully utilise the ecological benefits of wood, equally sustainable planning is required.
This is where Vanillaplan comes into play! Our software ensures that timber construction companies can make their processes even more efficient and environmentally friendly.
✅ Efficient resource planning: smart planning optimises the use of resources
✅ Fewer construction site changes: employees, machines and materials in exactly the right place - without additional climate-damaging journeys
✅ Digital processes instead of paper chaos: no more unnecessary printouts and manual paperwork
Vanilla plan: Not only digital, but also climate-neutral
But our commitment to sustainability goes beyond our software: Vanillaplan has been climate neutral since 2023! Through ClimatePartner, we fully offset our own carbon footprint and support certified climate protection projects - with a particular focus on the expansion of renewable energies in Asia.
Demand for clean electricity is growing in many Asian countries, but there is a lack of infrastructure for renewable energy. Our offsetting is therefore channelled into wind, solar, hydro and biogas projects in India, China, Indonesia, Thailand, Sri Lanka and Turkey.

Sustainability as a competitive advantage
The best thing about it? Sustainability becomes measurable. Timber construction companies can show their customers transparently that they are not only working with the right building material, but are also managing their processes in the most climate-friendly way possible. A real competitive advantage in an industry where sustainability is becoming increasingly important 🌿 🚀
