Since 1977, SEKEM has been pioneering the way in carbon neutrality, proactively measuring our carbon footprint and offsetting our emissions. We focus on integrating sustainable practices across all aspects of our operations. By promoting biodynamic farming that sequesters carbon, enriching the soil, empowering farmers to adopt regenerative agricultural practices, and implementing renewable energy solutions such as solar power, we effectively offset our Scope 1 and 2 emissions. This aligns our practices with our commitment to the Economy of Love (EoL) standard, which not only supports organic farming but also fosters a holistic approach to sustainability, balancing economic, social, cultural, and environmental dimensions.

SEKEM-Festival goes into the second round! After the premiere of the SEKEM-Festival 2024 in Fulda, we will meet this year in Austria, in Graz. Here, too, there are many SEKEM friends who support the vision in their local environment with great commitment.

Once again, we want to create a joint work: Organised by SEKEMers from Egypt, Austria and Germany, we are looking forward to the participation and co-creation of many SEKEM friends from all over the world.

Modern societies around the world are mainly characterized by the division of labor into economic activities. Through cooperation, values are created and then exchanged as products and services. In this exchange, it is essential that those creating the values be rewarded for their efforts with a fair income. This income must enable them, within their social environment, to achieve and to improve such results in the future, too. We are aware that we need for our ambitious targets reliable business partners, therefore the establishment of a worldwide cooperative network of value creation, accumulating values for fair interchange relations, is fundamental for a sustainable development of the economy.

Sustainable cultural development means individual human development. The people need to be guided to their individual inspirational sources, whether these are sciences, philosophy, religion, arts or beauty. This can only be achieved through freedom in cultural life through the establishment of connections with other local cultures through a global network. Therefore, free education and spiritual development of all human beings must be the highest priority. Through a holistic approach every individual is able to unfold his full potential and skills and enables himself to improve his own life and contribute to the development of the community and country.

All major religions share the idea that man is appointed as a steward on earth who has to sustain and develop it. In accordance with this approach, our governing principle is not only to reduce our ‘ecological footprint’, but to spread life and to contribute towards a better and healthier condition of the land and the people that we work with. This is the only way to create and sustain conditions for a planet with more than seven billion people, where resources run short and future generations will suffer from climate change. A responsible and holistic approach is necessary to face these problems. We thus commit ourselves to sustaining and further developing all ecological spheres for the future of coming generations.
