VAUDE Academy for sustainable management
Share knowledge. Move more.
About
Our Philosophy
Sustainable management makes companies fit for the future, economically successful and is a decisive approach to solving the problem of not exceeding our planetary boundaries. Therefore, it is important that as many companies as possible operate in an environmentally friendly and fair manner.
VAUDE has made environmentally friendly and fair business its core business and has been working consistently for over a decade to transform the company holistically and systematically. We pass on this knowledge and our experience:
- We accompany and advise companies and organizations in the transformation process to sustainable business.
- We pass on our experience and expertise on fair and environmentally friendly business practices to schools, universities, voluntary and non-profit associations and initiatives.
- We want to motivate people to work for sustainability in their sphere of influence.
"The mission of the VAUDE Academy is to multiply sustainable business beyond VAUDE."
Lisa Fiedler, consultant VAUDE Academy
We are building the VAUDE Academy as a social business. This means: We use the fees that we receive for accompanying and transferring knowledge to companies to finance and further expand our educational offerings for schools, universities, voluntary and non-profit associations and initiatives.
The development of the VAUDE Academy for sustainable management is being supported by the German Federal Environmental Foundation in a two-year funding project from the end of May 2020. It is our goal that the VAUDE Academy will continue to cover its costs after the funding period has ended.
