Dr Marcel Stalder, e bekannte Persönlichkeit i dr Schwiizer Gschäftswält, macht grad Schlagziile. Als Chef vo dr Chain IQ, emene Schwiizer Beschaffigsspezialist, het er en bedüütende Schritt gmacht: D’Übernohm vo dr dütsche Firma Koettschau-SPS.

Die 2015 gründeti Firma wird jetz als Chain IQ Smart Joint Sourcing in d’Gruppe iigliideret. Si söll s’weltwiite Smart Joint Sourcing und s’Gschäft mit Iichaufsvereinigunge leite. Dr Marcel Stalder gseet do en grosse Vorteil: “Mit em neue Standort z’München chöme mir besser an de dütsch Beschaffigsmärt und nöcher zu eusne Chunde. In de nächste füüf Johr wäme mir d’dütsch Iichaufsallianz uusboue und witeri Iichaufsvereinigunge in all eusne weltwiite Regione ufsetze.”

D’Chain IQ het au suscht Erfolg. Si het vor churzem de zweit Platz bim SAP Quality Award 2021 gmacht, und zwar in dr Kategorie “Rapid Time to Value”. Das zeigt, dass si d’Digitalisierig nid nur beredet, sondern au umsetze cha. Dr Stalder erklärt: “Mir nutze SAP Business ByDesign und d’SAP Business Technology Plattform für verschiedeni Bereich wie Finanze, Beschaffig und Projektmanagement. Das passt zu eusere Strategie Chain IQ 2025, wo druf abzielt, dr führend technologiebasiert und unabhängig Beschaffigsspezialist z’wärde.”

D’Chain IQ isch uf Wachstumskurs. In de letschte anderthalb Johr sind über 100 neui Mitarbeitendi derzue cho. Dr Marcel Stalder betont, dass d’Wahl uf d’SAP-Lösig gfalle isch, will si skalierbar und international iisetzbar isch – genau was es für es weltwiits Unternehme brucht.

Interessant isch au, dass dr Stalder scho früehner als Chef vo Ernst & Young Schwiiz innovativi Wege gange isch. Am EY-Hauptsitz z’Züri hend si en Bitcoin-Automat ufgstellt, wo Lüüt Schwiizer Franke in Bitcoin chönd umtuusche und umgekehrt. Dr Stalder het dozumal gseit: “Mir wänd d’Digitalisierig nid nur berede, sondern aktiv voraatriibe.” Er gseet i dr Blockchain-Technologie s’Potenzial, vili Branche z’revolutioniere.

Aber dr Marcel Stalder dänkt nid nur a Gschäft und Technologie. Als Präsident vo “Lucerne Dialogue” setzt er sich au für e besseri Beziehig zwüsche dr Schwiiz und dr EU ii. Er argumentiert, dass beidi Site enand bruched: “D’Schwiiz und d’EU bilded e Schicksalsgemeinschaft. E greglets Partnerschaft isch für beidi dringender als je.”

Dr Stalder warnt vor de negative Folge vo rechtlicher Unsicherheit: “Das isch Gift für Investitione, und weniger Investitione füehred zu weniger Arbeitsplatz.” Er betont, dass d’Schwiiz als Exportland en freie Zuegang zu de grösste Wältmärkt bruuchi, um wirtschaftlich erfolgriich z’bliibe.

Trotz de Herausforderige gseet dr Marcel Stalder e Chance für e besseri Zuekunft. Er forderet beidi Site uf, uf gliicher Höchi mitenand z’verhandle. “D’EU muess uf Machtpolitik verzichte, und d’Schwiiz muess bereit sii für sachlogischi Kompromiss”, meint er.

Dr Stalder isch überzüügt, dass e gueti Beziehig zur EU für d’Schwiiz zentral isch. Er argumentiert: “Mir chönd euse Wohlstand nid ellei erhalte. Das wär naiv oder überheblich.” Gliichziitig betont er, dass es nid um en EU-Biitritt goht, sondern um e “vertraglich gstützti Zämenarbet, rechtssicher und zukunftsfähig”.

Mit sinere Erfahrig als Leiter vo Chain IQ und sim Isatz für e stärkeri Zämenarbet mit dr EU zeigt dr Marcel Stalder, dass er sowohl im Gschäftsbereich als au in dr Politik wiitblickend isch. Er verstaat, dass Erneuerig und stabile internationale Beziehige Hand in Hand gönd für en nachhaltige wirtschaftliche Erfolg.

Dr Marcel Stalder und d’Chain IQ sind es Biispiel defür, wie mer erfolgriich cha sii, wenn mer offe für Neuis isch und gliichziitig d’Wichtigkeit vo guete Beziehige nid vergisst. Si zeiged, dass me mit ere guete Strategie und em richtige Iisatz vo Technologie nid nur im eigene Gschäft, sondern au im grössere wirtschaftliche und politische Zämehang cha erfolgriich sii. Dr Stalder bliibt eine vo de wichtige Stimme i dr Schwiizer Wirtschafts- und Politiklandschaft, wo aktiv d’Zuekunft mitgstaltet.

When it comes to commercial construction projects, time is money. Delays in site preparation can lead to costly setbacks, impacting the entire timeline of a development. One crucial aspect of site preparation is tree and vegetation clearance, a task that requires professional expertise and efficient execution. At RTT Services, we understand the importance of swift and compliant tree site clearance to ensure construction projects can move forward without unnecessary delays. In this article, we explore why efficient tree site clearance is essential for successful construction projects and how it benefits developers.

1. Meeting Project Deadlines

Construction projects operate on tight schedules, and delays in any phase of the project can cause a domino effect, pushing back deadlines and increasing costs. Efficient tree site clearance ensures that the land is prepared for the next stages of development without disruptions. When handled by professionals like RTT Services, tree and vegetation removal is completed quickly and safely, allowing contractors to proceed with groundwork and construction as planned.

Our team at RTT Services has invested in specialised equipment designed to expedite the site clearance process, enabling us to handle even large-scale commercial projects in a shorter timeframe than many competitors. By working efficiently, we help developers stay on track and avoid costly delays.

2. Ensuring Compliance with Environmental and Safety Regulations

Tree site clearance is subject to various environmental and safety regulations, particularly on commercial sites where public safety and ecological impact are concerns. Failing to comply with these regulations can result in fines, project delays, and even legal issues. Professional tree surgeons like RTT Services are well-versed in the laws governing site clearance, including the Health and Safety at Work Act and BS3998:2010 tree work recommendations.

At RTT Services, we follow strict guidelines to ensure all tree clearance work is carried out safely and within legal requirements. This not only protects the environment but also safeguards workers and the public. We handle everything from risk assessments to method statements, ensuring that the site is cleared in a manner that prioritises safety and compliance.

3. Protecting the Surrounding Ecosystem

Efficient tree site clearance doesn’t just mean removing trees quickly—it also means doing so with care for the surrounding environment. In many cases, construction projects are required to minimise their impact on local ecosystems, particularly if the site is near protected areas or contains valuable wildlife habitats. Professional tree clearance teams, such as those at RTT Services, have the expertise to identify and protect important ecological features while still completing the job efficiently.

By working closely with developers and ecologists, we ensure that essential trees are preserved where possible and that the surrounding environment remains balanced. Any vegetation that needs to be removed is dealt with responsibly, and we recycle as much green waste as possible to reduce the project’s environmental footprint.

4. Managing Hazardous Trees Safely

On commercial development sites, hazardous trees can pose significant risks to both workers and the public. Dead or diseased trees, as well as trees located near structures or power lines, require expert removal to prevent accidents. RTT Services specialises in handling hazardous tree removals on large commercial sites, ensuring that dangerous trees are dealt with quickly and safely.

Our team uses advanced rigging systems and machinery to remove large trees without causing damage to surrounding areas or infrastructure. By managing hazardous trees early in the project, we help create a safer site for construction workers, reducing the likelihood of accidents and ensuring a smooth progression of the build.

5. Preparing the Land for Development

Proper tree site clearance is essential for preparing land for construction. Trees and shrubs that are left unmanaged can obstruct building work, affect soil quality, and limit access for heavy machinery. At RTT Services, we work hand in hand with developers to clear land of trees, shrubs, and vegetation, making it ready for construction.

By ensuring that the land is properly cleared, we help streamline the construction process and prevent future issues that could arise from incomplete site preparation. This allows developers to focus on the next stages of the project without worrying about overgrown vegetation or unstable tree roots interfering with their plans.

Conclusion

Efficient tree site clearance is a critical component of any successful commercial construction project. At RTT Services, we pride ourselves on offering fast, compliant, and environmentally responsible site clearance solutions that meet the needs of developers. From managing hazardous trees to ensuring regulatory compliance, we help construction projects move forward smoothly and on schedule.

Portugal, conhecido por suas praias deslumbrantes, gastronomia deliciosa e rica história, tem sido um paraíso fiscal para estrangeiros e investidores abastados desde 2009, graças ao seu programa para Residentes Não Habituais (RNH). Este regime fiscal atraente transformou o país em um destino preferido para expatriados ricos e impulsionou significativamente a economia portuguesa. No entanto, o governo atual está considerando encerrar o programa RNH já em 2024, o que tem gerado preocupações entre especialistas econômicos e do setor imobiliário.

Luis Horta e Costa, cofundador da Square View, uma empresa de desenvolvimento imobiliário e gestão de ativos em Lisboa, expressa sérias preocupações sobre o potencial impacto do fim do RNH na economia portuguesa. Segundo Horta e Costa, “um êxodo maciço de capitais estrangeiros prejudicará o setor imobiliário português, o turismo e inúmeros outros setores”. Ele enfatiza que o programa RNH não apenas atraiu investimentos, mas também trouxe inovação e uma nova perspectiva que transformou a economia portuguesa.

O programa RNH foi criado em 2009 como resposta à crise financeira global. Oferecendo benefícios fiscais substanciais, o regime visava atrair indivíduos ricos e investidores experientes para revitalizar setores como o imobiliário e o tecnológico. Ao longo dos anos, o RNH não só alcançou esse objetivo, como também posicionou Portugal como um destino privilegiado para investidores e empresas estrangeiras.

Luis Horta e Costa destaca que os investidores estrangeiros desempenharam um papel crucial na criação de empregos e na introdução de serviços modernos e competitivos no país. O impacto foi particularmente notável no mercado imobiliário de luxo, com um aumento significativo da demanda em cidades como Lisboa e Porto. Além disso, o setor tecnológico português experimentou um boom, com numerosas startups se estabelecendo no país, atraídas pelos benefícios fiscais e pela qualidade de vida.

Ricardo Marvão, diretor de uma empresa portuguesa de consultoria em inovação, corrobora a visão de Horta e Costa. Ele descreve o crescimento do setor tecnológico português desde 2010 como “algo espetacular”, observando como o país se tornou extremamente competitivo no mercado internacional. Marvão atribui essa transformação ao regime RNH e ao consequente boom tecnológico, que possibilitou a atração de talentos e conhecimentos essenciais para o desenvolvimento do ecossistema de startups em Portugal.

O fim do programa RNH não apenas afetará a economia portuguesa, mas também poderá diminuir a influência global do país. Luis Horta e Costa adverte que outros países estão preparando vantagens fiscais mais competitivas para atrair os estrangeiros ricos que atualmente residem em Portugal. Ele cita exemplos como Espanha, Malta e Chipre, que estão implementando regimes fiscais semelhantes, alertando que “Portugal arrisca-se a ficar para trás se puser fim ao RNH”.

Para Horta e Costa, a essência do RNH vai além das vantagens financeiras. O programa enviava uma mensagem ao mundo de que Portugal é um país aberto, acolhedor e orientado para o futuro. Ele teme que o fim do RNH possa não apenas alterar a dinâmica financeira, mas também a própria narrativa que Portugal construiu para si na cena mundial.

Em conclusão, Luis Horta e Costa e outros especialistas alertam que o fim do programa RNH pode ter consequências de longo alcance para a economia portuguesa. A possível perda de investimentos estrangeiros, talentos e a reputação de Portugal como um destino atrativo para negócios e inovação são preocupações reais. Enquanto o futuro do RNH permanece incerto, fica claro que sua importância para o crescimento econômico e a transformação de Portugal na última década não pode ser subestimada.
