Sustainability
Sustainability is the foundation of our future. In order to make a significant contribution to a future worth living in, we at Johanniter have set ourselves the goal of making our actions demonstrably transparent and sustainable. With a holistic strategy that takes into account all three dimensions of sustainability, we have formulated our vision for a sustainable future by 2030. Johanniter International Assistance is also involved in this process, as a large part of the world is already suffering from the negative effects of climate change, such as droughts and hurricanes.
The poorest people in the world - the people we support - are particularly affected. Our international aid projects already take into account climate change adaptation measures that improve the situation of those most affected. To further develop and expand possible activities that also aim to mitigate the effects of climate change, for example through reforestation, International Aid has established a Climate Change and Livelihoods Working Group. It is dedicated to the cross-cutting issue of climate change in our Strategy 2027.
"Each and every one of us has decided to set an example for the environment - then we will bring those around us along with us and achieve something lasting and positive.
Environmental Protection in Practice
"We care about the environment" was the slogan on the T-shirts of the Johanniter staff in South Sudan. On the occasion of World Environment Day, the staff discussed how they could contribute to environmental protection in their daily work. They decided to avoid plastic by using reusable bottles, and to integrate environmental protection into all project activities.
