THINKING AHEAD

COMMITTED TO SUSTAINABILITY

"The way that tomorrow’s generations will live is determined by the actions we take today and the sustainability of our current economic direction and our lifestyle. Companies like ours have a duty to keep this in the forefront of our minds as we play our part in shaping the future.”

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Axel Stepken
 Chairman of the Board of Management, TÜV SÜD AG

Sustainable, responsible action aimed at protecting people and the environment has been a pillar of TÜV SÜD’s corporate objectives from the onset and has served the company as a guiding principle since its foundation over 150 years ago. From our inception, we have protected people, the environment, and assets against technology-related risks and thus fostered technical progress. We support and shape the march of technological change, constantly adjusting and aligning our services with the aim of ensuring safety and security as we fulfill our task at all times.

Thinking Ahead, our Sustainability publication, provides an overview of our activities in 2018 and 2019 and demonstrates how we fulfill our corporate responsibility at TÜV SÜD and proactively embed relevant topics in our business processes. Our social commitment is reflected in the initiatives taken by our employees from embracing diversity to adopting environmentally friendly practices in our day-to-day operations. Through these activities, we aim to ensure safe, secure, and sustainable global development of society and the environment.
