The working group on legal considerations for the "Sustainable Enterprise" qualification in Swiss legislation is a collaborative entity tasked with assessing the legal changes needed to introduce and establish the status of "Sustainable Enterprises" within the Swiss legal system. This entity is composed of independent legal experts and operates under the coordination of B Lab Switzerland.  By examining current laws and suggesting potential legal instruments, such as ordinances and amendments to the code of obligation, the working group aims to enhance the clarity, uniformity, and enforcement of the new legal status for sustainable enterprises.
