Sustainability Strategy
We believe that sustainability begins with each of us. Our Sustainability Strategy sets out how, as HAW Hamburg, we are meeting our responsibility through a whole institution approach and, as one of Germany’s largest universities of applied sciences, contributing actively to the sustainable transformation of society.
Our Executive Board began developing the Sustainability Strategy in the winter semester of 2023/24. Following a participatory approach, the strategy was developed with guidance from the Sustainability Advisory Committee and input from all groups across our university, particularly from our open Working Group on the Sustainability Strategy. It was adopted in the summer semester of 2025.
Our slogan is “Because you can make a difference.” In that spirit, this Sustainability Strategy concerns all of us. Get involved – together, we can shape a sustainable future.
