Holding the world together – for a sustainable future
We want to use all our expertise and passion to develop products and adhesive solutions that are more sustainable.

We have always taken our social and environmental responsibility very seriously. Sustainability has been one of the key strategic targets at tesa for a number of years.

Taking on more responsibility for the world around us is becoming increasingly important – for us as a company, for our employees and for our business partners and customers.
That is why we aim to make sustainability a priority at tesa and get to work with this crucial transformation of our business significantly faster and more urgently than previously envisaged. Our challenge is to rapidly reduce emissions, to improve the sustainability of our products and packaging and to ensure responsible procurement.
By focusing on technical innovation, we have our sights set not only on reducing our environmental footprint, but also on achieving sustainable growth for tesa.
Sustainability is taking on a new significance in our company.
