CHRISTIANE FUCHS-PELLMANN MANAGING DIRECTOR OF KDFB GERMANY
›SAFEGUARDING EQUALITY‹
The German Catholic Women's Association (KDFB) has a proud history: its members have been standing up for women's rights in the working world, family, church, politics and society ever since 1903. They are dedicated to ensuring equal rights for men and women in all aspects of life.
As an independent educational association with strong Christian values, the KDFB's objective is for men and women to live side by side in a spirit of partnership – both in society as a whole and in the Church – and to take joint responsibility for the future. Christiane Fuchs-Pellmann, Managing Director of KDFB Germany, believes it is important for the organisation to respect all three dimensions of sustainability, i.e. society, ecology and the economy, in its projects. »We actively involve our members in our campaigns, clearly highlight our shared responsibility for the environment and our communities, and aim to teach people about more sustainable consumption,« she explains.
A range of projects have shown her that there is considerable need for more information among participants, especially when it comes to adopting an eco-friendlier lifestyle. One such example is how households can generate their own power using renewable energy. Christiane Fuchs-Pellmann knows exactly where the concept of sustainability stems from and is delighted about every new tree that is planted: »That's why we at the KDFB are happy to support the Plant for the Planet organisation and its young ambassadors.«
