=== At the "Jožef Stefan" Institute, Building a Sustainable Future ===

At the "Jožef Stefan" Institute, we are committed to the principles of sustainable development, embedding them into all aspects of our activities. We recognize that sustainable development means meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs. This requires balancing economic growth, social equity, and environmental protection.

=== What is Sustainable Development? ===
Sustainable development involves:
 * '''Eliminating poverty''' and reducing global inequalities.
 * '''Sustainably managing natural resources''' and preserving ecosystems.
 * '''Promoting inclusive economic growth''', built on fairness and long-term resilience.
We are dedicated to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted at the historic United Nations Summit in 2015. Learn more about the SDGs [[https://unis.unvienna.org/unis/sl/topics/sustainable_development_goals.html|here]].

=== Our Sustainability Guidelines ===
To make sustainable development a core part of our culture, we encourage employees to think proactively, learn, and act toward sustainability. Our efforts include:
 1. '''Excellence in Research with a Sustainability Vision:''' We support projects that contribute to a cleaner environment, social inclusion, and addressing global sustainability challenges.
 1. '''Resource Optimization:''' Reducing energy and paper consumption and promoting recycling and responsible use of materials.
 1. '''Sustainable Event Management:''' We strive to organize events that minimize environmental impact and incorporate sustainable practices.
 1. '''Digitalization of Processes:''' We are transitioning business processes to digital platforms, reducing the need for physical documents and minimizing business travel.
 1. '''Shared Use of Equipment and Spaces:''' Encouraging the shared use of resources to lower consumption and environmental impact.
 1. '''Sustainability-Oriented Procurement:''' Choosing products with a lower environmental footprint and longer life cycles when purchasing equipment and materials.
 1. '''Collaboration and Awareness:''' Actively fostering dialogue and education on sustainable practices within and beyond the Institute.

=== Our Commitment to Sustainability ===
At the "Jožef Stefan" Institute, we believe that through research, innovation, and responsible action, we can contribute to creating a more sustainable future for everyone.
