As the TIMETOACT GROUP, we are not only committed to protecting the environment, but also to social issues and corporate governance. We are working step by step to make our company sustainable and are continuously developing our strategy.
Sustainability in the TIMETOACT GROUP
If the TIMETOACT GROUP can act sustainably, then so can we! Ultimately, everyone benefits: sustainable corporate governance is good for the environment, for our employees, customers and partners - and in the long term, it has a positive impact on the company's overall development. It was therefore very clear to us that it was time to incorporate our existing sustainability measures into an official ESG project and to push the topic even further.
2025 Was a Very Dynamic Year
The years 2023 through 2025 were marked by exceptionally strong growth and profound changes for the TIMETOACT GROUP. During this period alone, numerous companies were integrated into the GROUP, including ZUARA, brainbits, STAGIL, Target, Walldorf Consulting, JOIN, EverIT, Trustbit, Identic, Herzum, interactive tools and BeBold.
At the same time, the GROUP undertook both organizational consolidations - such as the merger of several companies (ARS Software GmbH, brainbits GmbH, TIMETOACT Software & Consulting GmbH, and X-INTEGRATE GmbH) into ATVANTAGE GmbH - and the establishment of new entities, such as flowworkx in the Netherlands.
The strong growth of recent years put the GROUP-wide management system through a significant stress test. New companies, additional locations, international structures, and extensive organizational changes had to be integrated within a short period of time. The successful maintenance and simultaneous expansion of certifications demonstrate that the management system has remained effective and scalable even under exceptional growth conditions.
