Sustainability
Since May 2023, Studierendenwerk Bremen has had a climate protection manager funded by the national climate protection initiative.
Here are some of our climate protection and sustainability projects.
Our canteens are BIO-certified [DE-ÖKO-039] and use:
- 100% fairly traded organic coffee and organic tea.
- 100% organic milk and organic dairy products from regional production.
- Preferably food from regional production.
- Only 100% organic durum wheat semolina for the production of our
- homemade pasta in the PastaWerk at the university canteen.
- Reusable packaging for meals.
Avoidance of food waste: We largely avoid food waste through demand-oriented production and further processing. We use state-of-the-art appliances with energy savings of up to 40% compared to conventional appliances.
We are gradually switching to LED lighting in our residential complexes . A resource-saving combined heat and power plant is in use in the Neustadt residential complex.
In our administration , externally ordered print products are produced on recycled paper and with CO₂ offsetting wherever possible. Our IT department is increasingly using used/refurbished hardware in all departments and areas of the Studierendenwerk.
National Climate Protection Initiative
With the National Climate Protection Initiative, the Federal Ministry for the Environment has been initiating and funding numerous projects that contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions since 2008. Its programs and projects cover a broad spectrum of climate protection activities: from the development of long-term strategies to concrete assistance and investment support measures. This diversity is a guarantee for good ideas. The National Climate Initiative helps to anchor climate protection on the ground. It benefits consumers as well as companies, local authorities and educational institutions.
The creation of this page is funded as part of the project KSI Klimaschutzmanagement - Erstellung eines Integrierten Klimaschutzkonzeptes für das Studierendenwerk Bremen (Erstvorhaben befristet bis 28.02.2025). Funding reference: 67K22739 (funding recipient: Studierendenwerk Bremen) The aim of the project is to create an integrated climate protection concept for the Studierendenwerk Bremen.
