Sustainability is one of the major topics of our time and we also want to get involved and face up to our responsibility as TIMETOACT GROUP. This includes not only a contribution to the protection of the environment, but also commitment in the areas of social and corporate governance, for which the term Environmental Social Governance (ESG for short) has become established

Sustainability in the TIMETOACT GROUP

The TIMETOACT GROUP can act sustainably, then so can we! In the end, everyone benefits from it: Sustainable corporate management is good for the environment, for our employees, customers and partners - and in the long term it has a positive effect on the entire development of the company. It was therefore clear to us that the time had come to turn our existing sustainability measures into an official ESG project and to push the issue even further.
