Sustainability and climate protection

Sustainable management and climate protection are very important for the Catholic Academy in Bavaria. The Academy works with the European environmental management system EMAS (Eco-Management and Audit Scheme) and is certified according to the EMAS standard.

Wir beziehen unsere Lebensmittel zum großen Teil regional und wo immer möglich, auch in BIO-Qualität. Seit 2007 ist unsere Küche BIO zertifiziert (DE-ÖKO-006) und ist in der Vergangenheit mehrmals im Rahmen des Projektes "Tierschutz auf dem Teller" ausgezeichnet worden.

Umweltmanagement in der Katholischen Akademie in Bayern

 

"In Christian responsibility for the world and creation ... the Catholic Academy in Bavaria operates a sustainability management system that takes equal account of economic, ecological and social concerns."

This guiding principle of our "Sustainability Policy" sums it up: We are convinced that a church institution has a special obligation to protect the livelihoods of future generations.

We know that we can only contribute to this if we consistently, continuously and in a balanced way relate economic issues, natural foundations and human and social needs to each other in our area of responsibility.

Our environmental management is validated according to the proven standards of the Eco Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS) based on EU Regulation 761/2001.

Im November 2025 wurde EMAS erstmals extern begutachtet. Die letzte Rezertifizierung EMAS erfolgte 11/2025.
