Welcome to the Sustainability Office (SO)
As a staff unit of the Digitalization & Sustainability Department, we are the central contact for sustainability management at KIT. We support the sustainable development of KIT and, on behalf of the Executive Board, accompany all stakeholders at KIT in establishing sustainability as a cross-cutting issue in the core tasks of research, teaching, innovation/transfer and the KIT organization.
From integration into KIT's strategy to lean concept development and implementation support, we are committed to the sustainable development of KIT as an institution - from everyday work to infrastructure. Through broad participation and networking at KIT, we enable bottom-up processes for sustainability transformation.
Our tasks include:
- Strategy development / support of processes and projects for sustainability transformation under the direction of the Executive Board
- Support and stabilization of the basis sustainability project
- Initiation and support of sustainability/transformation projects along the core tasks and within KIT as an institution
- Development and implementation of sustainability management incl. monitoring & reporting of data & facts on sustainability at KIT
- Design and implementation of sustainability communication at KIT
