Thieme Environmental Guideline

Between 2019 and 2021, we collected a comprehensive greenhouse gas balance for all German Thieme locations for the first time. The figures show that we were able to save around 21 percent in emissions between 2019 and 2021. The survey is conducted anew every year and is an important basis for further measures and steps on the way to continuously saving greenhouse gas emissions. The 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations, the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement and our environmental guideline set the framework.
