We do more daily

Goals are important, but it is even more important to work on achieving them. We do this continuously and have already made progress!

Here you will find in­form­a­tion on what we have already im­ple­men­ted and the projects in which we are so­cially and eco­lo­gic­ally in­volved.

We will be happy to provide you with de­tails of the in­di­vidu­al meas­ures.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us by e-mail at nachhaltigkeit@thgeyer.de .
