Sustainability Strategy

Through its corporate strategy, Techem is addressing the challenges of digitalization, the transformation of the building sector, and climate protection. With measurable goals, clear responsibilities, and concrete measures, the company continuously refines its solutions, processes, and structures.

Embedded at all layers

At Techem, sustainability is firmly established as a cross-functional priority. The goal is to identify key impacts, risks, and opportunities, make them transparent, and translate them into strategic actions.

Ongoing dialogue with relevant stakeholders is a central component of our corporate governance and helps us identify key sustainability issues early on, further develop our strategy, and tailor solutions specifically to the needs of our stakeholders.

Alignment with international standards

Transparency, comparability, and traceability are integral components of our sustainability management. Our sustainability reporting is based on the standards of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), takes into account the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), and is continuously adapted to meet regulatory requirements such as the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS).

Since 2021, Techem has been a participant in the United Nations Global Compact and is committed to its ten principles in the areas of human rights, labor standards, the environment, and anti-corruption. These principles serve as an important framework for our sustainability management. We regularly report on our progress as part of our annual Communication on Progress (CoP).
