BERN - What makes Switzerland surprisingly different, that organic, regional products, fair trade and eco-labels score the highest here? Who really knows how to put the Swiss on the track of a sustainable economy?

And a bank where the money of 5.6 million customers is safe, which is profitable, which puts its savings into the real economy, has more than 5,000 voluntary directors and makes cooperative businesses really feel at home? Is that possible?

Is such a thing possible? That employees are in charge of their own businesses? And that they are able to create, and even keep, 80,000 jobs in a crisis-hit economy?
