Objectives

We work for the protection of the environment and the sustainability culture, and for the introduction of their principles into the social and environmental reality that surrounds us.

The achievement of this objective materialises through the development of different scientific studies, applied research, personalised assessment and mediation, promotion and diffusion actions that, according to the principles of sustainable development, involve a social, economic and environmental positive impact.

Principles

When designing and developing a project, Ecoinstitut Barcelona does so following the principles of:

• transdisciplinarity: projects are developed by a team, of diverse training and expertise, which is constituted according to the profile needed in each case.
  
  
• public-private partnership: an special effort in dedicated in order to favour the collaboration among the Ecoinstitut team, public administrations and social agents, acting when necessary as environmental mediators.
  
  
• independence: studies, collaboration works and mediation tasks are ruled by the principle of independence.
  
  
• transnational collaboration: as far as possible we promote a transnational collaboration with two objectives: to increase and adjust constantly existing environmental standards to the levels achieved in countries more advanced in that subject and, on the other hand, to promote the Mediterranean idiosyncrasy in the European context as an specific contribution.
