Taking responsibility & acting sustainably
Corporate Social Responsibility at TMC
Why is it so dark here?
Our ambition
CSR focuses on corporate responsibility and is based on the 4 pillars: employees, market, community and environment. Yes, that sounds a bit theoretical, but we put this subject into practice: Our sustainability team around our CSR Manager Martina meets regularly, plans new projects, evaluates the effect of individual actions and initiates new ones. We continue to work, step by step, to continuously improve and make our contribution to a more sustainable tomorrow.
For us, responsibility and sustainability are not hollow words, but lived reality. We have tomorrow's world in our sights today. Because while – to use marketing language – there is a plan B for many projects, there is no such thing as a planet B. That's why our actions are determined by a sustainable approach to our resources and the environment in order to steadily reduce our ecological footprint over the long term. And our sense of responsibility goes even further.
Sustainability and CSR are firmly anchored in our corporate mindset and actions – and they are lived out in practice. We have a responsibility towards our employees, our customers and our partners, and we are convinced that fair, positive interaction and open exchange pave the way for optimal social and ecological conditions.
We have anchored our claim in the TMC sustainability guideline, which you can download here:
TMC sustainability guidelinesIn our development into a sustainable agency group, we are guided on the one hand by the legal framework conditions such as the German Supply Chain Sustainability Act, the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), as well as industry-specific trends and, of course, the potential requirements of our stakeholders. Our sustainability strategy and goals are therefore subject to constant adjustment.
As communication specialists, it is important for us to always actively report on our corporate responsibility in order to encourage others to get actively involved - regardless of the size of the company - and of course also in their private lives.
Our approach
The topic of sustainability is more than just a project for us; it is deeply integrated into our strategic approach. It doesn't run alongside daily business , but a team around our Managing Director Mirco and CSR Manager Martina dedicates itself to the topics with passion and strategy. We develop concepts for topics, measures and regularly review their effectiveness. If needed, we improve the concepts.
Goals
Our actions
Sustainability and a sense of responsibility have been firmly anchored in our company for a long time, even when the terms were not as present in the media as they are today. We have already reached some milestones, but we will of course continue to work on these issues, set ourselves new goals and continue to pursue them with passion and conscious action.
Engagement
We do not work on global sustainability issues behind closed TMC doors, but look beyond the end of our noses. We are convinced that far-reaching changes are only possible if many people pull together and an open exchange can take place. That is why we have joined various initiatives and are also involved in voluntary work:
Compliance
We value good cooperation. We’re also acutely aware of our own corporate responsibility. That’s why our code of conduct applies internally to our employees as well as externally when working with customers, suppliers and business partners.

For us, a project is only successful when our customers are just as satisfied as we are. This is what we call the “TMC moment”, a moment everyone involved will remember for a long time – or even forever.
