RESPONSIBILITY FOR BERLIN
The ZIEGERT team sees itself as a part of and conscious shaper of society – a fair and responsible corporate citizen. For ZIEGERT, social engagement begins with empathy towards existing structures and the needs of the urban populace. We support Berlin culture and act as sponsors of various Berlin initiatives for sustainable urban development.
Beyond that, the ZIEGERT staff also donates to non-profit organisations in Berlin. Social responsibility is part of our corporate strategy. With projects on corporate urban responsibility, ZIEGERT supports initiatives that promote social coexistence as well as identification with and acceptance of the residential environment, especially in places where we as a business are active: in Friedrichshain and Neukölln, but also in Wedding and other parts of Berlin.
JOANES FOUNDATION FOR AFFORDABLE HOME OWNERSHIP
In November 2015, Nikolaus Ziegert started the non-profit Joanes Foundation. The purpose of the foundation is to promote affordable and energy efficient housing, home ownership, and integrated neighbourhood development. With improved planning processes, more efficient financing, and the optimal use of land and existing buildings, the foundation aims to create new options for affordable living.
Further information on the foundation’s activities is available online at www.joanes-stiftung.de/en.
