SEKEM was founded in 1977 on the principle that sustainable development must advance across four dimensions: economy, society, culture, and ecology. These pillars are embodied in the “Sustainability Flower,” a framework developed with global partners to measure ecological, social, and economic impact, and form the basis of SEKEM’s Vision Goals (SVGs) for 2027 and 2057.

Economy is where ethics meets business. Through its Economy of Love (EoL) certification, SEKEM applies true cost accounting to reveal the real environmental and social costs of production. By 2027, the framework will be fully applied across all SEKEM companies, paving the way for 2057, when ethical business becomes the national standard.

Society grows stronger when governance is shared. With its SEKEMsophia initiative, participatory governance is piloted in Minia, Sinai, and Wahat. SVG 2027 targets scaling these models nationwide, paving the way for 2057, when dialogue and shared responsibility anchor Egypt’s social fabric.

Culture sparks creativity and holistic education. Heliopolis University and SEKEM’s cultural programs foster creativity and holistic education. SVG 2027 calls for nationwide adoption of new education models, while SVG 2057 envisions embedding culture and the arts across Egyptian society.

Ecology underpins every pillar. Through biodynamic farming, renewable energy, and efficient water management, SEKEM has already reclaimed desert into farmland. SVG 2027 aims to expand these regenerative practices nationwide, with SVG 2057 making them the agricultural standard.
