About Us

Inspired by the teachings and philosophy of the Nobel Peace Laureate Dr Albert Schweitzer (1875-1965), the Schweitzer Institute for Environmental Ethics is dedicated to creating a more equitable and sustainable future for our planet and all of its inhabitants.   


Founded in the United States in 1984 as the Albert Schweitzer Memorial Foundation, the Schweitzer Institute conducts international programs that link education, ethics and voluntarism. One of our primary objectives is to explore environmental ethics, which is about considering the moral and ethical relationship of human beings to non-human animals and the environment. 


Our programs focus on motivating young people to serve the community, nature and the environment as a way of life; stimulating scholarly research on Albert Schweitzer's life and work; and increasing awareness of Dr Schweitzer's philosophy of Reverence for Life and its potential for a more peaceful and sustainable world.    


The Schweitzer Institute is registered with the Charity Commission as the Schweitzer Foundation UK (Charity 1187127).
