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: EMAS

Sport-Thieme has introduced the European Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS). This enables us to systematically improve our environmental performance. Since 2025, Sport-Thieme has been ISO 14001 certified – an important milestone on our way to EMAS certification.

A key element of EMAS is the environmental statement, which is reviewed and validated by an independent environmental auditor: Environmental statement (German).

  • what is EMAS?
    With EMAS, we commit to setting concrete environmental targets, implementing specific measures, and regularly reviewing and improving our environmental performance – with the clear goal of making our processes more environmentally friendly.
  • what does the introduction of EMAS mean for sport-thieme and the environment?
    The EMAS process identifies how companies can be organised in the most eco-friendly way possible. We ensure that environmental improvements are continuously implemented in our operations. All of this is documented transparently in our environmental statement.
  • who is EMAS relevant for?
    Certification is voluntary and not required by law. By implementing EMAS, we demonstrate to our partners and customers that environmental protection is an integral part of everyday life at Sport-Thieme.

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