How our network works

As a university institute, it differs from networks in that all partners act entrepreneurially with high ambitions for sustainable transformation, learn from each other cooperatively (internally and externally), share their knowledge and continuously develop it further.

Enterprising

Partners are highly ambitious when it comes to sustainable transformation and are working towards having at least one location certified to the ZNU standard (by the end of 2025).

Cooperative

They learn with and from each other, share their expertise and continue to develop.

Scientifically founded

They use the application-oriented research results of the ZNU. These range from the ZNU standard to valid KPIs and the development of methods for measurability in order to achieve continuous improvements.

Commitment to the network

The ZNU supports the network in engaging in sustainability activities on a broad scale, whether through joint events and communication, media work, association and trade contacts, it is also a mouthpiece for politics, banks and civil society.
