Transparency

What does NABU stand for? How is it governed and what are its rules?

This page contains important transparency information. For a closer look at the topic additional material can be downloaded below.


We live democracy

NABU's many members across Germany are more than just silent supporters — they actively govern and decide about the development of the organisation. The General meeting of the Federal Representatives elects the executive committee and sets the agenda.

Goals, activities, staff and finances

Initiated by Transparency Deutschland, actors from civil society and the scientific community defined a catalogue of basic information that every organisation of the civil society should make accessible to the public. NABU has joined this initiative.


The NABU charter

NABU's statutes can be viewed or downloaded here (German, PDF format). If you prefer to obtain a printed copy please do not hesitate to order free of charge via mail (NABU-Infoservice, 10108 Berlin) or email.
