For a lively and livable island.

Liveable Sylt

Together, Sylt in view

LEBENSWERT is an island movement of tourism stakeholders who are committed to sustainable development on Sylt.
With LEBENSWERT we want to initiate a continuous improvement process that balances social responsibility, ecological sustainability and economic strength on Sylt. 

We are still at the beginning, but together we are creating positive change step by step.

The project sponsor and coordinator of LEBENSWERT is the Sylt Marketing GmbH

The 17 goals as a basis

LEBENSWERT was launched in 2022 by Sylt Marketing, local tourism services, and with the support of the agency BAUM as an umbrella brand and certification system for sustainable businesses. Since then, we have been continuously developing LEBENSWERT. 

However, our foundation remains unchanged: The 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and our WORTH LIVING Self-confession.

You can find more information about the creation and development process of LEBENSWERT here.

We are currently focusing on the following measures:

  • Networking and qualification of actors already acting sustainably

  • Making sustainable commitment visible

  • Motivating non-certified companies to act more sustainably

  • Making sustainability tangible through ecologically and socially oriented offers
