Suppliers
from Sustainability Report 2021
by Mobimo
When choosing its suppliers and partners, Mobimo looks not only for quality standards and value for money but also for a common understanding of sustainability.
Mobimo operates exclusively in Switzerland, meaning that projects are always realised in line with Swiss standards. The suppliers and partners involved generally come from the corresponding geographical regions (100 km radius), in other words from the Zurich metropolitan area, from Central Switzerland or, in the canton of Vaud, primarily from the Lausanne region. According to a rough analysis, more than 2,000 partners and suppliers work for Mobimo.
Suppliers are selected on the basis of criteria such as local connections, short distances (70% to 80% of purchases are from regional and national suppliers) and compliance with quality and sustainability requirements. The quality of the cooperation, reliability and experience are also every bit as important.
As a principal, Mobimo requires its contracting partners, especially general contractors, to comply with all current and applicable laws, standards, regulations and requirements relating to safety and employment law and to adhere to the provisions of the Gender Equality Act and the Posted Workers Act. The relevant standards governing sustainable building must also be met. Mobimo refers in particular to the latest recommendations issued by KBOB/IPB (the coordination conference of construction and property bodies of public principals and the interest group of private/professional principals), such as “Building construction materials” and “Conditions for planning services (building construction) (within the meaning of SIA recommendation 112/1)”.

Arts and culture welcome!
Impetus for a sustainable and open neighbourhood: the art event BIVOUAC resonates in the framework of the RASUDE Quarter development.
June 2021 was dedicated to BIVOUAC in the Rasude Quarter, not far from Lausanne station. The art event BIVOUAC was organised by the Labor Association and was an important element of the site’s interim use before the next steps of the larger La Rasude neighbourhood development.
Thirteen artists and architects selected by a jury created a real “experimental laboratory” around artistic and urban issues. What makes a city? How does a city form its identity? What remains and what is fleeting? The interventions and installations attracted lots of visitors to the former mail distribution centre and allowed them to discover the massive basement with its labyrinthine corridors that had never previously been open to the public.
With concerts, clubs and films, BIVOUAC became an unforgettable experience and at the same time a prelude for things to come. Under the label “La Rasude acceuille” (La Rasude welcomes you), temporary events will continue to give life to the area, to give shape to the phase before the major transformation begins and to provide inspiration for a sustainable and open neighbourhood of the future.
