Thimm joins Science Based Targets initiative and strengthens contribution to climate protection

Kornelius Thimm, CEO of Thimm, emphasises the importance of this decision: "As a responsible family business, we have a clear position: we want to make our contribution to climate protection and take responsibility for our environment. Therefore, we are pleased to announce that Thimm has officially joined the SBTi!"

The SBTi is a cooperation between the CDP, the United Nations Global Compact, the World Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). The initiative offers companies a science-based methodology for setting their own climate targets. These science-based targets show companies how much and how fast they need to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions to minimise the impact of climate change.

By becoming a member, Thimm including Christiansen Print is joining an international community of companies committed to climate protection. "The next step for us is to define concrete climate targets for our company, which will then be validated by SBTi," explains Kornelius Thimm. "For our customers, our membership means that we develop comprehensive targets and measures that reduce emissions along our entire value chain. This distinguishes us as a responsible partner."

Christiansen Print, a business unit of Thimm, is the European market leader in flexographic and digital roll pre-printing. The business unit prints paper rolls using the latest digital printing and flexographic printing processes for corrugated board manufacturers and the branded goods industry. From three locations in central Europe, Christiansen Print thus supplies well-known companies with preprint for packaging, displays and other industrial applications. The company employs almost 100 people at its Ilsenburg site.
