OUR PROJECTS AND INITIATIVES


CHRISTOPHERUS STIFTUNG INTERNATIONAL (CSI) develops and supports international projects dedicated to environmental protection, the sustainable use of natural resources and the promotion of environmentally friendly technologies.
Today, one of our main priorities is bringing together sustainable tourism, environmental certification and technological innovation.
Our objective is to achieve tangible environmental improvements while creating economic benefits for participating businesses and institutions.

1. Green Star Certification – Sustainable Tourism
Through its international Green Star Certification programme, CSI promotes the sustainable development of hotels, resorts, wellness centres and healthcare facilities.
The programme focuses on improving environmental standards and encouraging the responsible use of natural resources.
The certification particularly considers:

  • Energy efficiency and renewable energy
  • Water consumption, management and treatment
  • Waste prevention, recycling and the circular economy
  • Environmentally responsible operational practices
  • Sustainable procurement and regional economic development

The certification aims not only to highlight environmental responsibility but also to encourage continuous improvement.


2. Technological Consulting and Green Technology
CSI supports businesses and tourism establishments in identifying and adopting suitable environmentally friendly technologies.
In cooperation with specialised technology partners, we help develop and facilitate access to solutions that can reduce environmental impacts while lowering operating costs.
Our main areas of focus include:

  • Energy savings and intelligent energy management systems
  • Water-saving technologies and wastewater treatment
  • Biological and organic waste recovery
  • Recycling and innovative waste treatment processes
  • Emission reduction and resource-efficient operations

CSI acts as an independent supporter and intermediary between environmentally responsible businesses, technology providers and international project partners.


3. Sustainable Tourism Destinations
Beyond certifying individual establishments, CSI aims to contribute to the development of environmentally sustainable tourism destinations.
We encourage cooperation between hotels, local businesses, municipalities and technology partners to protect natural resources and create sustainable economic opportunities.
Through pilot projects and exemplary initiatives, we seek to develop models that can be replicated in other regions and countries.


4. Marine and Environmental Protection
Reducing marine pollution and promoting sustainable waste recovery remain essential components of our foundation's activities.
CSI supports the development of solutions for collecting, recovering and environmentally responsible treatment of marine litter, as well as waste generated by households, industry and tourism.
One possible technological approach is catalytic degassing for the treatment and recovery of suitable waste materials.
This technology represents just one of several possible methods within our broader commitment to innovative environmental solutions.


5. International Partnerships and Project Support
To achieve our objectives, CSI cooperates with hotels, resorts, technology companies, research institutions, non-profit organisations and other international partners.
We promote the exchange of knowledge and experience, support the development of practical environmental projects and establish connections between businesses and suitable technology providers.
Our approach is guided by one fundamental principle:
Environmental sustainability and economic efficiency should complement and reinforce each other.


Become Our Partner
We invite hotels, tourism establishments, technology companies and other interested organisations to work with us towards a more sustainable future.
Whether through Green Star Certification, technological cooperation, the development of joint projects or financial support, every concrete contribution to environmental protection matters.
