CEC Suisse - Parcours Suisse Romande (Convention des Entreprises pour le Climat)

What CEC Suisse - Parcours Suisse Romande (Convention des Entreprises pour le Climat) does

CEC Suisse - Parcours Suisse Romande (Convention des Entreprises pour le Climat) is a Geneva-based non-profit initiative, legally housed within RegeNation - Association pour une Société Régénérative (IDE 499.279.675), operating a single core offering: the Parcours Suisse Romande leadership program. The program consists of five structured sessions delivered over 10 days across a 10-month period (the second cohort runs November 2026 to September 2027), targeting French-speaking Swiss C-suite executives, business owners, and organizational leaders seeking to redesign their business models around regenerative, rather than purely impact-reduction or net-zero, principles. The methodology combines collective intelligence facilitation, executive coaching, scientific input, and expert speaker sessions, supported by a Comité de soutien comprising academic and industry figures including Professor Dominique Bourg (University of Lausanne), climate scientist Célia Sapart (CO2 Value Europe), Christian Petit (former CEO Romande Energie), and Marie Blaser (Loyco).

The organization's revenue model is hybrid: participant fees for the Parcours program constitute the primary revenue stream, supplemented by patronage and mécénat contributions from sponsors. The program is distributed via direct application through Tally forms, with marketing relying on community referrals, alumni testimonials, a YouTube channel (@CECSuisse), and ecosystem partnerships with FSE (Femmes de l'Economie Suisse) and CCIFS (French-Swiss Chamber of Commerce). The association operates with a small team of approximately 9 employees and is led by President Constance André-Aigret. There is no proprietary technology platform; the offering is fundamentally a high-touch, human-facilitated cohort program, with no disclosed AI, software product, API, or digital tooling layer beyond the marketing website.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• GlobeScan: Global research and advisory firm helping companies build sustainable strategies through insights, benchmarking, and stakeholder engagement. Comparable in serving sustainability-focused business leaders with transformation content, though delivered through research/advisory rather than cohort programs.
• BSR (Business for Social Responsibility): Global sustainability consultancy and network advising large companies on ESG, climate, and human rights strategies. Comparable in client base (C-suite executives seeking sustainability transformation) but delivers consulting and advisory services at scale rather than cohort-based leadership development.
• World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD): Global CEO-led association representing hundreds of companies on sustainability. Comparable as a membership-based sustainability organization targeting business leaders, but operates at an international advocacy and policy level rather than the cohort-based executive education format CEC Suisse provides.
• Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL): Established executive education provider affiliated with the University of Cambridge delivering sustainability leadership programs for senior executives globally. Comparable in audience (C-suite executives seeking sustainability transformation) but operates at vastly larger scale with a broader portfolio across geographies and themes.
• IMD: Lausanne-based business school with executive education programs including sustainability and leadership tracks. Comparable in audience (senior executives in Switzerland) and topic area (sustainability transformation), but operates as a commercial institution with a much broader and more generalist curriculum.

Others

• B Lab: The non-profit network that certifies B Corp companies and trains advisors. While B Lab itself certifies rather than educates cohorts, it is the broader ecosystem in which B Leaders operates and the implicit framework for regenerative business practice that CEC Suisse's curriculum advances.
• CO2 Value Europe: European non-profit advancing CO2 utilization and capture. Directly connected to CEC Suisse through Scientific Director Célia Sapart, who sits on both organizations. Comparable as an adjacent sustainability-focused non-profit working with executives and policymakers in the regenerative/clean economy space.

Regional players

• SwissCleantech: Swiss cleantech industry association representing sustainability-oriented companies and policy. Directly connected to CEC Suisse through advisory committee member Christian Petit, who sits on its managing board. Comparable as a Swiss-based sustainability membership organization, though focused on cleantech industry advocacy rather than executive education.

Direct peers

• B Leaders: A training program operated by B Lab that prepares consultants and business leaders to guide companies through sustainability and B Corp transformation. Highly comparable to CEC Suisse's Parcours in target audience (business leaders), cohort-based format, and regenerative business model focus — and explicitly named in CEC Suisse's leadership bios.
• Convention des Entreprises pour le Climat (CEC France): The originating French movement that pioneered the 'Convention des Entreprises pour le Climat' cohort-based model for executive climate engagement. CEC Suisse Romande is a direct geographic and methodological extension of this organization, making it the closest possible comparator in product, format, and mission.
