Corporate Governance

We see our corporate responsibility as making the world a little better through movement and responsible action! Our long-term business strategy, focused on stable profitability, ensures sustainable corporate responsibility. This enables us to continue integrating ecological, social, and societal aspects into our actions. Additionally, it creates and secures jobs while preserving our entrepreneurial independence.

For us, economic success is the foundation of sustainable development – just as sustainable development is essential for our economic success.

Both dimensions are closely interconnected and mutually dependent. As an industry leader, we will proactively use our economic strength to position Sport-Thieme as a pioneer and role model for sustainable business practices—for our employees, our community, and society.

Sport-Thieme takes responsibility for the environment

We are now ISO 14001 certified – an important milestone on our way to EMAS certification.

  • what does ISO 14001 mean in simple terms?
    With ISO 14001, we commit to setting environmental targets, implementing concrete measures, and regularly reviewing and improving our environmental performance – with the clear goal of making our processes more eco-friendly.
  • what is the difference between ISO 14001 and EMAS?
    ISO 14001 is an internationally recognised standard for environmental management and defines how companies can organise their operations in the most environmentally responsible way. EMAS goes one step further: this European system ensures ongoing improvements, requires additional transparency and an in-depth environmental statement. With EMAS, we are therefore pursuing the next important step.
  • who is ISO 14001 relevant for?
    Certification is voluntary and not required by law. With ISO 14001, we demonstrate to our partners and customers that environmental protection is firmly embedded in everyday practice at Sport-Thieme.

By choosing Sport-Thieme, you benefit from expertise, quality and a genuinely sustainable partnership.
