Tiefenbacher Group World Environment Day

June 5 marks World Environment Day, established by the United Nations in 1972 to raise global awareness and inspire action for the protection of our environment. This year’s motto is “Restore Our Earth”, highlighting the urgent need to reverse environmental degradation and build a more sustainable future.

At Tiefenbacher Group, this mission is close to our heart. As a purpose-driven healthcare company, we believe that protecting human health begins with protecting the planet.

We’re proud to share that we’ve reduced our corporate carbon footprint from 7,106 t CO₂e in 2023 to just 2,223 t CO₂e in 2024 which means a 69 % reduction over the past year. This was achieved through concrete actions: switching to green electricity at all locations, generating solar power at our Cyprus site, and fully offsetting business travel emissions through certified climate projects.

It makes sense in many ways

Our commitment not only protects the climate, but also makes economic sense: With a projected CO₂ price of 55 euros per ton, our reduction would mean annual savings of over 250,000 euros. To reach climate neutrality (scope 1 & 2), we’re now phasing out fossil fuels, transitioning to electric vehicles, and further improving energy efficiency across our sites. On this World Environment Day, we renew our commitment to climate action for the health of our planet and the well-being of future generations.
