Value for society

Sustainability

A social task

Sustainability is more than climate action. This is how the United Nations sees it in its Sustainable Development Goals, which point to social change. ZEISS is also committed to these goals.

Healthcare at ZEISS

Healthy society

Health and well-being – this is also one of the 17 goals of the United Nations. As a pioneer in the field of healthcare, ZEISS wants to contribute to the health of society.

Equal opportunities for all

Equal opportunities for all

Many of the United Nations' goals are united by one aspect: people everywhere should have equal rights. A goal that ZEISS supports, for example, by combating negative impacts on human rights and diversity.

Education, health, and society

How do scientific professions become interesting for young people? How does healthcare reach poorer countries? And how can projects be promoted locally? ZEISS has answered these questions for itself.
