A vivid tradition of responsibility

We shape our future through innovations and the willingness to embrace change – the traditional key corporate values of tesa AG. The goal of exerting a positive influence on the environment applies not only to our products, but also to our social and ecological commitment to the society in which we operate. At tesa, voluntary involvement beyond what the law requires has been simply our goal for many years now.

Another step that demonstrates this commitment is our official accession to the United Nations Global Compact.

tesa is involved and committed in a multitude of ways, setting a prime example of responsibility toward its own employees and society at large. Our social activities focus on providing assistance to children and youth all over the world, and at the same time, maintaining a healthy environment for generations to come. Economic and ecological well-being are equally important goals of our company’s operations.

Additional factors that play an important role in our long-term, sustained success are humane labour conditions for all tesa employees worldwide and ensuring that our products and services demonstrate the very highest quality and reliability.

When we joined the Global Compact in March 2006, we committed to ensuring that our economic actions were in accordance with the ten ethical principles of this UN corporate responsibility initiative in the areas of human rights, labour standards, environmental protection, and anti-corruption. We operate in more than one hundred countries – to us, globalisation is not a buzzword, but a fact of everyday business. We view our involvement in the Global Compact as an opportunity, side by side with numerous other companies, to take on a positive role in making sure that globalisation takes a humane course.

Our support for social projects all around the globe and awards such as the Environmental Award from B.A.U.M. (the German Environmental Management Association) and the Responsible Care Award from the Association of the German Chemical Industry (VCI) attest to our successful work in this field that we will continue to pursue with enthusiasm and conviction. After all, quality and continuous progress are our declared goals – and with respect to more than just our products.
