Who is behind the Sustainability Office?
What is the mission at the Sustainability Office at Paderborn University?
We see ourselves as a connecting element, as multipliers and as a mouthpiece for issues of transformation towards more sustainability. The establishment of the sustainability office is a first step on the path of transformation. However, we do not want to and cannot implement this path alone. Therefore, we attach great importance to transparency, the creation of understanding and participation of all status groups of the university.
Sustainable operation
In the Sustainable Infrastructure Department, we form the basic framework for the university's internal transformation process.
Department 5 for Facility Management, Operational Technology, Occupational Safety and Environmental Protection is responsible for the sustainable operations of Paderborn University and initially focuses primarily on ecological sustainability issues.
Sustainability Unit
In the Sustainability Unit, we promote the development of a holistic understanding of sustainability at Paderborn University. This understanding serves as the basis for the development of the sustainability strategy in cooperation with the sustainability group. We also promote communication among the core processes of research, teaching and knowledge and technology transfer and strengthen the exchange with the university administration.
Social sustainability
As Paderborn University, we are already broadly positioned in the field of social sustainability with the Healthy University, the commitment of the Equal Opportunities Officer and the Family-friendly University.
