Sustainability in the TIMETOACT GROUP

Our contribution to the environment, fair cooperation and responsible corporate governance.

As the TIMETOACT GROUP, we are not only committed to protecting the environment, but also to social issues and corporate governance. We are working step by step to make our company sustainable and are continuously developing our strategy.

Felix Binsack

If the TIMETOACT GROUP can act sustainably, then so can we! Ultimately, everyone benefits: sustainable corporate governance is good for the environment, for our employees, customers and partners - and in the long term, it has a positive impact on the company's overall development. It was therefore very clear to us that it was time to incorporate our existing sustainability measures into an official ESG project and to push the topic even further.
