Editorial Sustainability Report

Sustainability

Sustainability is not just a trend for tesa - it is a central component of our corporate strategy and a clear commitment to current and future generations.

As a globally active company with production facilities and affiliates in over 100 countries, we bear a special responsibility for the environment, society and the economy. In times of increasing ecological and social challenges, we see it as our duty to lead the way with innovative solutions and responsible behavior. Our aim is to promote sustainable growth - by developing environmentally friendly products, optimizing our processes and working closely with partners along the entire value chain.

One thing is clear: sustainability is not a goal, but a continuous journey that we are pursuing with conviction and determination.

For example, we were able to reduce our Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 39 percent across the entire tesa Group. This is an important step on our path to climate-neutral production by 2030 - an ambitious goal that I would like to reaffirm. A key factor in this success was the use of renewable energies, which we have continued to drive forward with the significant expansion of our photovoltaic systems. Last year, we produced around 4,000 MWh of electricity across all locations and covered 90 per cent of our global electricity requirements from renewable energies. In addition, we laid the foundation for connecting our Hamburg plant to the hydrogen network in 2024. We plan to produce the first adhesive tapes using hydrogen technology as early as 2027. Preparations are in full swing.
