EA for impact drives research and advocacy to tackle environmental challenges. We inform policy, empower businesses, and mobilise action to protect nature and people.
As the non-profit arm of Earth Action, EA for Impact uncovers emerging environmental threats and drives change through scientific research.
We turn knowledge into action, shaping policies and equipping decision-makers with solutions to address pollution, resource depletion, and climate challenges.
For 20 years, our founder has identified critical environmental challenges—starting with the first microplastics report. Today, EA for Impact continues to push boundaries, delivering data-driven insights to inform policies and corporate responsibility.
We provide governments, businesses, and communities with evidence-based solutions to reduce pollution, preserve ecosystems, and promote a just transition. Through collaboration, advocacy, and research, we ensure that science leads to real-world impact. Join us in shaping a healthier, more resilient future.
Initiatives & Actions
Swiss Climate Action is an initiative to identify, test and execute effective solutions to combat climate change in Switzerland. While numerous approaches have been proposed locally in the past, none have successfully engaged representatives from the entire Swiss ecosystem or identified strategies tailored specifically for the country.
Swiss Climate Action website offers a wealth of valuable information and insights about our project. We are actively seeking partnerships and collaboration opportunities with organizations that share our commitment to addressing climate change.
Initiatives & Actions
Unifying the methodologies and perspectives of leading scientists, experts, and global practitioners, the Plastic Footprint Network (PFN) enables organizations to understand the full impact, or footprint, from the use of plastic in their products and across their operations.
PFN was founded with the support and involvement of environmental consultancies, plastic credit providers, plastic standard setters, NGOs, business coalitions and brand owners. Members contribute to and benefit from a single, unified venue to source their secondary data and metrics about plastic pollution and are supported in their efforts to measure and mitigate plastic pollution through a clear and regularly updated methodology along with direct support from experts, consultancies and other network partners.
Initiatives & Actions
Swiss Plastic Action (SPA), led by EA for Impact, drives policy change and collective action against plastic pollution in Switzerland. As a hub for research, advocacy, and stakeholder engagement, SPA delivers data-driven insights to influence government and industry decisions.
SPA collaborates with NGOs and policymakers to develop science-based policies, support legislative action, and push for ambitious plastic reduction strategies. It has played a key role in advancing regulations, quantifying Switzerland’s plastic footprint, and mobilizing public and political support.
By uniting experts and decision-makers, SPA keeps plastic pollution high on the national agenda. Through research, advocacy, and policy interventions, it empowers citizens and institutions to drive change. Support SPA to help shape a more sustainable future for Switzerland.
EA for Impact builds on 20 years of uncovering emerging environmental challenges, starting with the first microplastics report. We bring critical issues to policymakers, businesses, and the public, using data-driven research to shape policies, drive corporate accountability, and turn knowledge into action.
Infos,
The instrument is still meant to set global rules. What is undecided is whether a product is judged on what it is or on where it is sold, and that decides how evenly the same rule lands across markets.
Diana Ita-Nagy, PFN Scientific Committee member, explains why plastic footprints get weaker the further plastic travels from a documented waste system, and what standardized measurement would change.
L’instrument doit toujours fixer des règles mondiales. Reste à savoir si un produit sera jugé sur ce qu’il est ou sur le marché où il est vendu, un choix qui décide si la même règle s’applique partout de façon uniforme.
Deux événements se sont produits ce mois-ci, sur deux continents, selon le même schéma. Le 22 septembre, la Commission européenne a publié au Journal officiel de l’UE les ESRS simplifiées et la nouvelle norme volontaire de reporting, qui entrent en vigueur le 10 novembre.
In September 2026, the EU and California both issued reporting guidance for rules that are not yet final. Here is what the timing gap actually means for companies building their data systems.
