H-BRS once again honoured as a Fairtrade University

"I am delighted to be honoured once again as a Fairtrade University," says University President Marion Halfmann. "It makes it clear that sustainability and fair trade at H-BRS are not one-off actions, but rather characterise a basic understanding that is supported by the entire university."

At H-BRS, the diversity management team oversees the Fairtrade activities. The H-BRS initiative "Respect! Time for Diversity, Time for Sustainability" initiative organises fair trade and sustainability campaigns throughout the year. This year, these included the continuation of "Diversity Creates", the international handicraft and sewing event, which focusses on sustainable handicrafts. The Bonn Filmfair will also be back on campus this year when the documentary "Bigger than us" is shown on 13 November together with Fairtrade Town Sankt Augustin. In addition, activities such as the Sustainability Action Year or student projects, such as a podcast episode on the topic of Fairtrade University in the summer semester, reflect the breadth of commitment at H-BRS.
