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.
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.
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.
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.
A Heart for Science
With the international A Heart for Science initiative, ZEISS is pursuing the goal of inspiring and promoting young people in the natural sciences.
It has become a tradition at ZEISS to promote education and science and it is part of the company’s very fabric. A Heart for Science is primarily about opening the door to the world of research for young people and stimulating enthusiasm for nature and technology.

Growth is good for business, especially local business. This creates new jobs, orders for suppliers and new manufacturing services. With the Site Fund, ZEISS supports regional projects at some German sites.
Science Slam
ZEISS supports numerous projects and initiatives – such as Science Slam – to continue boosting enthusiasm for nature and technology in society. At the Science Slam, young researchers present their scientific projects in an entertaining and vivid way.
