Problem
SMEs often lack a dedicated ecosystem that facilitates the adoption, demonstration, and continuous improvement of ethical and sustainable business practices. Without a centralized platform, accessing values‑based training, certification, and a marketplace for like‑minded partners is fragmented and time‑consuming.
Solution
SunHearts operates a Swiss‑wide network that unites ethical and sustainable small‑ and medium‑sized enterprises. Through tiered membership, companies gain entry to a digital community, a curated marketplace, and the SunHeart Academy, which offers structured training modules and certification pathways aligned with the “Committed to Business Ethics” seal. The platform also hosts regular events, expert consulting (Ethical Business Guardeners), and support services that help members embed a values‑driven culture into daily operations and strategic planning. By centralising these resources, SunHearts streamlines compliance, knowledge sharing, and market exposure for its members.
Target Audience
Primary customers are Swiss small‑ and medium‑sized enterprises seeking to embed ethical, sustainable practices, as well as individual entrepreneurs and consultants who want to leverage the network’s resources and certification.
