The Infrastructure & Enterprises Division of the Institute of Applied Ecology (Öko-Institut) has been working for years on four major thematic complexes: How can mobility be shaped sustainably? Which technical and logistic measures need to be put in place in both passenger travel and freight transport – and how should this be done? Which standards and targets apply to sustainable enterprises, and which tools and mechanisms are appropriate to attain these goals for globally operating corporations and for small and medium-sized enterprises? What are the criteria for sustainable resource management, and how can the potential to reduce environmental impacts be tapped in a manner that is efficient, socially equitable and economically viable?
