We actively inform the public about the results of our studies
An important public discussion in recent years was the presentation of "Fake News" in the media, such as newspapers, radio, internet or television. We therefore reaffirm our commitment to provide reliable and transparent information on environmental aspects to all types of media. We are happy to work with journalists who use our studies as a basis for their work. Please provide us any citation or interpretation before being published to be rechecked by our experienced staff. Our work has been recited in numerous articles in newspapers, radio and television. Here you will find examples from non Swiss-language media. Please look for the German or French page in order to get more examples.

| Life Cycle Assessment of Organic Cotton Fiber (2014) | farmhub.textileexchange.org | 24/11/2014 | Textile Exchange engaged PE INTERNATIONAL, a global market leader in sustainability strategic consultancy, to conduct an Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for organic cotton fiber. The study is based on data from producer groups located in the top five countries of organic cotton cultivation; India, China, Turkey, Tanzania and the United States. These countries account for 97% of global organic cotton production. The LCA investigated the impact of organic cotton cultivation in the categories of climate change/global warming potential, soil erosion and soil acidification, water use and consumption and energy demand. The LCA study is in conformance with ISO 14040 and ISO 14044.The critical review panel included three of the leading figures in the field. The panel was chaired by Ing. Paolo Masoni, Research Director at ENEA in Italy. He was joined by Dr. Niels Jungbluth, CEO of ESU-service, Switzerland. and Dr. Christian Schader from the Research Institute of Organic Agriculture in Switzerland (FiBL). | online |

| Oh dear god, please don't tell me chocolate is killing the planet? | BBC | 30/04/2009 | Are you chocolate crazy, but also annoyingly aware that cocoa beans have to be cultivated in the tropics, shipped over to Europe, fermented, dried, roasted, ground and shaped into bars, wrapped in foil and finally driven to the sweet shop? Fret no more. Thanks to a new study, we can now at least make an informed choice about which type of chocolate has the smallest footprint, namely, dark chocolate. | online |
