ABOUT US
CHRISTOPHERUS STIFTUNG INTERNATIONAL (CSI) is an international non-profit organisation dedicated to promoting sustainable solutions in the fields of environmental protection, health, education and quality of life.
As a German non-governmental organisation (NGO), CSI supports projects that make a measurable contribution to protecting the climate, the environment and natural resources, while also helping to improve living conditions for people around the world.
Our main priority is protecting oceans and water resources
Every year, millions of tonnes of plastic and other waste enter rivers, coastal areas and oceans.
CSI therefore supports initiatives focused on marine and coastal clean-up, waste prevention and the development of an effective circular economy, including environmentally responsible energy recovery solutions.
In addition, CSI promotes sustainable tourism, health and wellness services, and the development of environmentally responsible businesses and institutions.
Green Star Certification
Through Green Star Certification, CSI has developed an international certification programme for hotels, resorts, hospitals, wellness centres and tourism facilities.
The programme evaluates and promotes sustainable practices in the following areas:
- Environmental and climate protection
- Health and well-being
- Social responsibility
- Sustainable business management
- Resource efficiency
Its objective is to recognise and highlight organisations that actively demonstrate responsibility towards people, the environment and society.
