We are known worldwide for our groundbreaking adhesive technologies, and we are also committed to playing a pioneering role in the area of sustainability. To this end, we have set ambitious goals and have already made significant progress: For example, we have reduced our absolute Scope 1 & 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 50 percent since 2018 (as of 2025).
In addition, we have committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2045. This goal, as well as our short- and medium-term climate targets, were validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) in collaboration with Beiersdorf.
Our commitment goes beyond environmental and climate protection. We aim to promote responsible and fair supply chains while simultaneously creating tangible added value for our customers. To this end, we work closely with our suppliers, prioritize recyclable and bio-based, renewable materials, and support our customers in their transformation processes toward greater sustainability.
Once a year, we publish the tesa Sustainability Factbook, which details all relevant developments and measures from the reporting year. Our climate targets are supported by the Climate Transition Plan (opens in a new window or tab) and the implementation measures outlined therein, which we also report on in our Non-Financial Statement (opens in a new window or tab).
The information published in the Non-Financial Statement is audited annually by an independent auditing firm. Key findings from this audit (opens in a new window or tab) are disclosed transparently.
