Sustainability

As the Studierendenwerk Paderborn, we are responsible for the social support of the approximately 25,000 students at the University of Paderborn as well as students on the double campus of the Hamm-Lippstadt University of Applied Sciences and the KatHO. It is not only important to us to create favorable conditions for concentrated studies. We want to live up to our social responsibility by consciously shaping the values ​​on which we work. Not only socially, but also economically and ecologically.

As an operator of residential complexes and large catering facilities and the associated use of resources, we are comparable to a larger commercial company. Environmental pollution caused by operations should be kept as low as possible. All groups in the university landscape are involved in this – the students and our other guests such as the employees of the University of Paderborn, the Hamm-Lippstadt University of Applied Sciences and the KatHO as well as us as a team from the Studierendenwerk Paderborn. The topics are energy saving and efficiency, waste reduction and social justice. In order not only to make individual one-off improvements, but also to ensure that environmental aspects are permanently taken into account in everyday operations, fundamental environmental protection structures have been created.
