Health- and Environment-Promoting Places
The Partnership supports institutions, companies, and public bodies in transforming workplaces, educational settings, and service environments into healthier, safer, and more sustainable places. By applying clear standards, these places can receive appreciation and recognition as environments that promote human health and quality of life.
Healthy Environments that Make a Difference
Health- and environment-promoting places are a central pillar of the Community Partnership because they move health from an individual responsibility to an everyday institutional practice within workplaces, educational settings, service environments, and the wider community. Every institution, company, or public body that applies the Partnership's standards becomes a safer, higher-quality, and more sustainable environment—one that protects the health of employees and visitors, supports healthy behavior, reduces environmental risks, and provides a practical model of genuine social responsibility.
Recognizing Excellence and Continuous Improvement
The Partnership's role goes beyond granting recognition. It supports places throughout their development and improvement journey through clear standards, technical guidance, and follow-up that helps each organization create a better environment. Receiving a letter of appreciation and recognition as a “Health- and Environment-Promoting Place” is a clear declaration that the organization does more than provide a service or product: it helps protect people, improve quality of life, and advance sustainable development through its everyday environment.
