We stand up for human rights, social justice and sustainable development. For us, sustainability is not just an ecological issue, but also a social and economic one. Fairness and justice today and for future generations are in the foreground. Sustainability must not be an aloof topic that merely concerns a few. For the FES, sustainability must be feasible for all.
With the challenges of climate change and scarce natural resources under difficult conditions, advocacy for sustainability and change towards a sustainable organization is a question of credibility and an opportunity to shape change together. Our concrete advocacy for greater sustainability is not just about climate justice, but connects to our feminist, decolonial, and peacebuilding ways of working.
We want to initiate an honest debate and get into action. As an organization, we are taking responsibility and make various adjustments: we operate our buildings in a more environmentally friendly way, we design our educational events to be more resource-efficient and inclusive, and we strengthen our organizational and work culture both at home and abroad.
To begin with, we are addressing these areas in four projects and gaining valuable experience for the further implementation of our own sustainability strategy. In this way, we are taking important steps toward fairness and justice – today and for future generations.

In our interactive infographic, you can click from room to room to view our suggestions and download the corresponding guide and checklists. The goal here is not perfection right out of the gate. We want to set out together to act more sustainably.
Unfortunately, the infographic and materials are only available in German.
Our commitment to sustainability becomes visible for our partner organisations and target groups through pilot projects. It contributes to the motivation of employees and is a constant impulse for the organisational development of the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung.
Using our office in Johannesburg as an example, we show how we want to make our international offices more sustainable.
Our checklist for sustainable educational activities shows how to make such events sustainable.
