BEWUSST WIE e.V.
We are BEWUSST WIE e.V., a Dortmund-based Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) association dedicated to promoting greater social responsibility and awareness within companies and among executives.
Founded in 2013 by the Dortmund Economic Development Agency alongside committed local organizations and businesses, the network quickly established itself as a significant catalyst and a leading voice in the dialogue on CSR topics. The official registration as an association in 2019 further confirms this positive trajectory for the future.
Through the passionate and collaborative spirit of diverse businesses and service providers, we actively work together to achieve CSR objectives. Consequently, the association contributes to the sustainable profitability of companies and helps secure the region's economic future.
Additionally, a core mission of the association is to raise awareness and provide further training for interested companies through the transfer of expertise—for example, at trade fairs or during dedicated information events.

“FACES OF SUSTAINABILITY – Responsibility convinces”
Responsibility convinces: Portrait series/traveling exhibition 2026
A series of portraits of individuals who live sustainability. Conceived as an "inspiring series," the portraits "FACES OF SUSTAINABILITY" serve as examples of how responsibility and sustainability have always played a major role in the lives of citizens.
Their faces tell stories of courage, confidence, and perseverance. Hands that plant, repair, and create. Voices that demand, explain, and connect. Sustainability is not an idea—it has a face. Many faces. FACES OF SUSTAINABILITY.
The series of portraits, captured by Dortmund-based photo designer Andreas Oertzen ( https://www.andreasoertzen.de ), impresses with its calm and clarity.
In 2026, we will go "on tour" with these portraits/with this traveling exhibition.
