What is Sustainable Development?

For us, sustainable development is one that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. This is a key part of the group’s ‘Invest’ corporate value and integrated into our day-to-day business.

The three pillars of sustainability: Social, Economic and Environmental are taken into consideration when making decisions. Being completely transparent can support the right actions and our progress will be reported via this dedicated section of the company’s website.

Key Pillar Number One: Social Sustainability

As a Bufab company, TIMCO complies with the UN Global Compact, the UN’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention.

Social Sustainability promotes the health and well-being of colleagues by giving them equal opportunities and access to the resources to support their families socially and economically.

Key Pillar Number Two: Economic Sustainability

Recycling and reducing pollution is a common practice for economic sustainability.

Relevant circular economy strategies help us not only in reducing waste but also in finding innovative and effective solutions to address our customers’ needs and strengthen our economic growth by adding value to our products and services.

Key Pillar Number Three: Environmental Sustainability

TIMCO takes a holistic perspective, from source to consumption and end-of-life to reduce or eliminate adverse impacts to the environment.

We implement initiatives that contribute to the resource efficiency of materials such as avoiding the use of single-use non-recyclable plastic.
