We make it our business to solve the interdisciplinary tasks of our customers in a sustainable, resource-conserving and climate-friendly way. We see sustainability as the central challenge for the future of our society.
Sustainability visions
We hope that we can continue to successfully make our contribution to a more sustainable economy. It is important to us that, in order to achieve progress, stakeholders work together even more than before to find better solutions. Our vision is to focus the public debate more strongly on fields of action that are essential from a sustainability point of view and that concrete effects become more important than good publicity. We see ourselves as supporters of the economy and society, so that it is possible to implement the climate goals we are striving for.
We see ourselves as a sustainability-oriented research institution. Our vision is that our staff and our projects contribute to the development of a sustainability-conscious and resource-conserving society.
We wish for the world to strengthen the exchange between countries on the topics of poverty, climate and sustainability, so that future generations will also find a planet worth living on. In order to achieve this, respect and joint action by nations is necessary to create an economic system that achieves employment, stable prices and external economic balance.
