The Humanist Association of Germany - Federal Association has appointed Aline Mittag as Federal Commissioner for Climate, Sustainability and the Environment.

Aline Mittag has been working in the area of sustainability since 2021. She initially worked at Philips with responsibility for the DACH market, later with a European focus. During this time, she dealt intensively with questions of sustainability in healthcare and focused in particular on the structural and ecological challenges of a complex healthcare system.

She has been working in the area of sustainability for the Asklepios Group since 2023. Her focus is on environmental sustainability, in particular the decarbonization of healthcare structures. The aim of her work is to develop effective and long-term strategies that combine ecological responsibility with the real framework conditions of healthcare.

At the same time, Aline Mittag is active in teaching and teaches at Leuphana University. There, she teaches students about the connections between health, the environment and social responsibility and deals with the question of how sustainable transformation can be permanently anchored in organizations.

In terms of content, her focus is on the sustainable design of healthcare and the structural anchoring of sustainability in organizations. Her involvement in the Humanist Association of Germany also ties in with this work: On the one hand, she is committed to reducing the association’s ecological footprint; on the other, she represents the association in the Climate Alliance Germany, where she brings a humanist perspective to the climate policy discourse.
