Sustainability
Albeda has taken on a broad sense of responsibility – not only for the local Rotterdam and Rijnmond region, but for the entire world. This commitment extends beyond mere words, as evidenced by the organization’s 2023 recognition as the “most sustainable vocational education institution in the Netherlands.” Albeda’s partnership with the Made Blue Foundation aligns seamlessly with this sustainability focus. Thanks to Albeda’s ambassadorship, 80 people will gain access to clean drinking water for the next 10 years.


Teaming up
We appreciate all of our ambassadors, but we are extra excited when they support each other as well. Case in point: CWS HygiĆ«ne Nederland recently donated to Albeda’s student support fund.
This contribution allows Albeda to help its student facing financial difficulties. This fits CWS’ mission to create a better and more sustainable future and contribute to a more just world.
One litre for one litre
In our program One litre for one litre you can convert the water saving or water consumption of your product, service or organization into an equal amount of litres of clean drinking water in developing countries. Choosing a selection of customers or donating more litres is also an option. Transparency is paramount and we are happy to help you communicate about it!
