The award of the UN decade “Education for sustainable Development” honors initiatives and projects, which successfully perform educational work in the field of sustainable development as well as successfully facilitate sustainable thinking and acting. Demands are the communication of knowledge and competencies concerning the three sustainability-dimensions, which are economy, social issues and the environment but also factors such as innovational strength, broad impact and the effort to cooperate with other projects.

Receiving the third award in a row shows that we are able to further improve our contribution to a sustainable future. The steps towards India with RESET India and our planned launch of RESET China were approved with special honor .

Uta Mühleis, founder and managing director, received the certificate within the “Week of Environment” in the park of Schloss Bellevue in Berlin on June 6th.

And what is now? Moving on, of course.
