In December 2021, a Sustainability Commission (NHK-FKF) was formed to deal with issues relating to the "assessment and monitoring" of sustainability at the Institute. This includes "Energy," "Mobility," "Utilities and Waste," and "Biodiversity and Food."
In October 2022, an Energy Crisis Task Force (ECTAF) was additionally established, whose main task is to find opportunities and take measures that can reduce users' electricity consumption. The goal is an energy saving of 25%.
