Reported

Transition plan for climate change mitigation

Overview and governance

The transition plan outlines measures and a timeline for achieving TeamViewer's climate targets (Scope 1, 2, and 3), encompassing the entire value chain and all global locations of the Group. Approved by the Management Board and Supervisory Board in the 2024 fiscal year, the plan serves as the foundation for a structured and measurable climate strategy.

The transition plan is available on the Company website.

Paris alignment and SBTi validation

As part of its climate transition plan, TeamViewer has committed to aligning its business activities with the 1.5-degree target of the Paris Agreement. The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) assessed whether these GHG emissions reduction targets are scientifically sound and aligned with limiting global warming to 1.5 °C. This alignment was confirmed by SBTi. TeamViewer is subject to the Paris-aligned EU benchmark values.

By publicly committing to its SBTi reduction targets, TeamViewer pledges to assess its climate objectives using scientific standards, ensuring that it contributes to limiting global warming in line with the Paris Agreement.

Targets

Short-term target (SBTi short-term target)

TeamViewer has pledged to cut absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 50 % by 2030, using 2021 as the baseline year. Additionally, the Company aims to reduce absolute Scope 3.1 and 3.2 GHG emissions from purchased goods, services, and capital goods by 37.8 % within the same timeframe.

Net zero target

As part of its net zero emissions target, TeamViewer plans to fully offset and permanently store the remaining 10 % of greenhouse gas emissions through carbon dioxide removal (CDR). This involves removing CO₂ directly from the atmosphere and storing it permanently.

Key decarbonization levers

The Group aims to further increase the share of its total energy mix represented by renewable energy and expand its CO₂ removal and storage program.

The reduction in Scope 1 emissions was driven mainly by the use of biogas, certified through RGGOs (Renewable Gas Guarantees of Origin). Another significant factor was the increased reliance on district heating.

Investment commitments

To support the implementation of the transition plan, TeamViewer has allocated dedicated investments and financial resources. The majority of these expenditures focus on climate protection initiatives, such as carbon capture and storage (CCS). As part of its commitment, TeamViewer will invest a seven-figure euro amount by 2040 in permanent carbon removal initiatives and emerging technologies to ensure the full execution of its transition plan.

Carbon credits and removals

TeamViewer already entered into long-term contracts to purchase high-quality CDR certificates in 2023 to ensure that these unavoidable emissions are offset by scientifically validated CDR technologies. The Company has continued this strategy in the 2024 fiscal year. The investments made are regarded as part of the long-term climate strategy and are therefore excluded from the corporate carbon footprint (CCF) calculation in accordance with GHG accounting standards.

Monitoring and reporting

The internal sustainability team reviews and measures progress annually against the defined targets. The head of sustainability reports directly to the Management Board and Supervisory Board. Since the 2021 baseline year, TeamViewer has made substantial progress.

As illustrated in the table "Total GHG emissions", TeamViewer reduced the Group's CO₂ emissions by -14 % (location-based) and -15 % (market-based) compared to the previous year. These results confirm the effectiveness of the decarbonization measures outlined in the transition plan.

Climate scenario analysis

A climate scenario analysis was conducted to help identify and assess the climate-related physical risks, transition risks, and opportunities. This analysis included multiple climate scenarios, allowing for a differentiated view of short-, medium-, and long-term risks. Both high-emission scenarios and scenarios aligned with the Paris Agreement's goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 °C were considered.

In the 2024 fiscal year, TeamViewer carried out a comprehensive analysis of its business model's resilience to climate-related risks. This analysis spanned the Group's entire value chain and accounted for both physical and transition risks. The evaluation was based on multiple climate scenarios, including a high-emissions scenario (SSP 5-8.5) and a 1.5 °C scenario (SSP 1-2.6), which focuses on limiting global warming. TeamViewer intends to update this analysis annually to integrate emerging scientific insights and regulatory changes.

The analysis was conducted in accordance with ESRS E1 SBM-3 requirements and relied on key assumptions related to:

  • Macroeconomic Trends: Impact of regulatory changes, evolving market requirements, and investments in climate-friendly technologies.
  • Energy Consumption and Mix: Reduction of energy consumption in data centers and increased transition to renewable energy sources.
  • Technology Adoption: Increasing use of digital solutions to reduce emissions, particularly through energy-efficient remote maintenance and process digitalization.

The analysis considered short- (until 2030), medium- (until 2040), and long-term (until 2050) time horizons. These are aligned with the climate scenarios and serve both to identify material physical and transition risks and to set emission reduction targets.

Impact on workforce

TeamViewer employees already primarily work in a hybrid work model across various locations worldwide. Therefore, the transition plan to reduce negative environmental impacts and achieve more environmentally friendly and climate-neutral operations is not expected to have any material impact on the Company's workforce.

E1-4(was E1-2)Policies related to climate change mitigation and adaptation
Reported

Policies related to climate change mitigation and adaptation

TeamViewer references policies related to climate change mitigation and adaptation in its sustainability statement, but does not provide detailed disclosure of a specific named climate policy under ESRS E1-2.

Climate Transition Plan

While not explicitly labeled as a "policy," TeamViewer's climate transition plan functions as the primary strategic framework for climate action:

  • Approval and oversight: The transition plan was approved by the Management Board and Supervisory Board in the 2024 fiscal year
  • Scope: The plan encompasses the entire value chain and all global locations of the Group, covering Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions
  • Key content:
    • Outlines measures and timeline for achieving climate targets aligned with the 1.5-degree target of the Paris Agreement
    • Sets absolute targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions at corporate level
    • Commits to net zero emissions by 2040, with 90% reduction and 10% offset through carbon dioxide removal (CDR)
    • Allocates seven-figure euro investment by 2040 in permanent carbon removal initiatives
    • Aims to increase renewable energy share and expand CO₂ removal and storage program
  • Public availability: Available on the Company website
  • Link to international standards: Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) confirmed alignment with 1.5°C goal and Paris Agreement; TeamViewer is subject to Paris-aligned EU benchmark values
  • Monitoring: Internal sustainability team reviews and measures progress annually against defined targets; head of sustainability reports directly to Management Board and Supervisory Board

Diversity, Inclusion, and Non-Discrimination Policy

While this policy primarily addresses social matters, it is mentioned in the context of workforce impacts from the climate transition:

  • Key content: The Group has committed to paying all employees equally for equal and equivalent work, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, ethnic background, marital status, or other demographic factors
  • Relevance to climate: The sustainability statement notes that the transition plan to reduce environmental impacts and achieve climate-neutral operations is not expected to have material impact on the Company's workforce

The disclosure references that climate-related risks and policies are managed through structured processes, but does not provide a dedicated, named "Climate Policy" or "Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation Policy" with full details as anticipated by ESRS E1-2.

  • Category 11 – Use of sold products
  • Category 12 – End-of-life treatment of sold products
  • Category 14 – Franchises
  • Category 15 – Investments

Methodology and scope notes

Values are calculated in compliance with ISO 14064-1 requirements and in alignment with the standards of the GHG Protocol. The emissions data and the Group's carbon footprint calculations for the 2023 and 2024 reporting years underwent an external audit in accordance with ISO 14064-1.

Primary data was not always available for the CCF calculation, particularly in parts of the value chain where direct supplier information remains incomplete. Where primary data is missing, estimation methods based on the GHG Protocol and industry-specific emission factors are used. Uncertainties are documented in accordance with IPCC guidelines.

The reduction in Scope 1 emissions was driven mainly by the use of biogas, certified through RGGOs (Renewable Gas Guarantees of Origin). Another significant factor was the increased reliance on district heating. Under the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol), district heating is classified as Scope 2, meaning this transition shifts emissions from Scope 1 to Scope 2.

The difference between location-based and market-based Scope 2 values stems from the use of EACs ("Energy Attribute Certificates"), which TeamViewer utilizes to verify the renewable origin of its globally sourced electricity.

For key figures that are presented in constant currency (cc), the values for the reporting period are adjusted based on the exchange rates from the prior-year period.

Climate-related risk assessment

TeamViewer assesses climate-related risks based on IPCC scenarios and integrates them into its risk management framework. In addition to physical hazards such as extreme weather events, the focus is on regulatory transition risks.

Physical risks

Regarding physical risks, extreme weather events, such as the hurricane season in Florida, have been identified as climate-related threats. These risks were assessed using the IPCC SSP5-8.5 high-emissions scenario. Risks within the upstream and downstream value chain were analyzed through expert interviews but were deemed non-material.

Transition risks

TeamViewer has identified climate-related transition risks, especially in relation to new reporting requirements that necessitate adjustments to business processes. The 1.5 °C warming limitation scenario was not applied in this assessment.

Climate-related opportunities

TeamViewer recognizes the potential for emission reductions among its customers through greater adoption of remote solutions, which could help reduce the need for business travel.

Reported

Characteristics of non-employees in the undertaking's own workforce

Profile of non-employees

Non-employee workers at TeamViewer include individuals without a direct employment relationship with the company. This category primarily consists of:

  • Third-party employees: Workers based in countries where TeamViewer cannot provide direct employment contracts (e.g., Indonesia, Brazil, Romania), requiring workers to be hired through a service provider
  • External contractors: All other individuals performing work for TeamViewer without a formal employment contract, such as those engaged under a service agreement

This definition does not include external contractors whose contractual services are merely part of the value chain (such as technical maintenance, catering, cleaning, or business consulting). Instead, it refers to external contractors whose contractual work involves tasks that are also regularly performed by employees, particularly in research and development and sales.

Non-employee headcount

CategoryHeadcount as of 31 Dec 2024Share in % as of 31 Dec 2024
Non-employees75.04.3%
Employees1,669.095.7%
Total1,744.0100%

Methodology

The figures are reported as headcount (not FTE) as of 31 December 2024. Non-employees include external contractors who either have a contract with TeamViewer for the provision of work services ("self-employed people") or are temporary workers supplied by companies specializing in staffing and labor leasing, primarily working for TeamViewer.

Strategic context

In the 2024 fiscal year, TeamViewer employed 450 full-time equivalents (FTEs) in R&D across the Group (2023: 399), marking an increase of about 13% compared to the prior year. This was driven in part by a strategic shift from external contractors to reinforcing the internal development teams focused on product innovation and security.

Worker representation structures

To ensure effective employee participation, TeamViewer has a "World Works Council", which represents the interests of local employees to the Management Board at all Company locations worldwide. A Works Council is also in place at the Göppingen site for TeamViewer Germany GmbH and Regit Eins GmbH.

Social dialogue arrangements

The World Works Council is informed at least annually, while the Works Council of TeamViewer Germany GmbH and Regit Eins GmbH at the Göppingen site receive weekly updates on current developments. HR representatives participate in meetings of the Operations Committee and the Personnel Committee to facilitate this exchange. Additionally, the Works Council is involved in all co-determination matters through a formal written consultation process before decisions are made.

The findings and potential improvements identified through performance tracking are evaluated by the HR department and presented to the relevant committees for discussion, including the Senior Leadership Team, Management Board, Works Council, World Works Council, and Supervisory Board.

Compensation metrics

Pay gap

TeamViewer's 2024 gender pay gap analysis, based on target salary (fixed salary plus target bonus), reports an average pay gap of 22%, which includes the Management Board. This figure primarily reflects differences in workforce composition rather than inequalities within comparable roles. The median pay gap stands at 15.4% (including the Management Board) and provides a more balanced representation of the typical gender pay gap within the Company.

The following are the key drivers of the gender pay gap:

Workforce composition:

  • Women represent 33% of the total workforce, with a higher concentration in lower-paid departments (e.g., Administration & Support) than in higher-paid areas (e.g., Technical Roles & Sales).
  • Gender imbalances in senior leadership roles (including the Management Board) and departments with higher average remuneration further contribute to the gap.

Geographical influences:

  • Country-specific differences in workforce size, local labor market conditions, and industry composition also impact salary distribution.

A deeper analysis of comparable roles with balanced gender representation reveals smaller pay gaps. This underscores that the overall disparity is mainly driven by systemic workforce composition factors, a challenge faced by most technology companies, rather than by unequal pay for the same roles.

TeamViewer also aims to further reduce the gender pay gap. As part of its Diversity, Inclusion, and Non-Discrimination Policy, the Company is committed to paying all employees equally for equal and equivalent work, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, ethnic background, marital status, or other demographic factors. The principle of equal pay is reviewed annually based on comparable employee groups with similar positions, titles, job descriptions, tenure, length of service, and location. The timeframe, baseline year and baseline value for achieving this objective, as well as the measurement of progress, are set to be defined by 2026 following a data analysis.

To achieve this goal, TeamViewer has implemented the following measures and plans to continue to conduct these annually throughout its entire own workforce:

  • In-depth role analysis: Pay discrepancies are investigated to identify underlying causes and validate the results.
  • Standardized pay bands: TeamViewer has introduced pay structures within functions to improve pay transparency and ensure fair and consistent remuneration.
  • Improved performance monitoring: The Company is implementing a detailed system for performance tracking and introducing tiered classifications at the individual role level to standardize evaluation and reward mechanisms.

Remuneration ratio

In the 2024 fiscal year, TeamViewer's annual total pay ratio, based on target salary (fixed salary plus target bonus), stood at 27.72. This figure reflects the pay ratio between the highest-paid employee and the median salary of all other employees.

The annual total pay gap highlights significant disparities in pay distribution, which are influenced by various contextual factors:

  • Gender representation: Women account for 33% of TeamViewer's workforce. At 29% in leadership roles below the SLT, they are slightly underrepresented, which contributes to pay discrepancies.
  • Executive remuneration: The remuneration of the CEO and other executives significantly impacts the overall pay ratio. This aligns with common practice, where top executives' remuneration is often well above the median.
  • Global operations: Operating in various economic regions leads to differences in local remuneration practices and market conditions, influencing the overall pay structure.

Methodology

Pay gap methodology: The gender pay gap is based on target salary (fixed salary plus target bonus). Target salary values of different regions were converted to euros. The target salary of part-time employees was adjusted to full-time equivalents. Long-Term Incentive programs (LTIP) and benefits (e.g., car allowances, special payments) were not included.

Remuneration ratio methodology: The calculation includes the following considerations:

  • Non-active employees, interns, and working students were excluded to ensure the analysis focuses on standard pay.
  • Target salary values of different regions were converted to euros to allow for accurate regional comparisons.
  • The target salary of part-time employees was adjusted to full-time equivalents for consistency.
  • Long-Term Incentive programs (LTIP) and benefits (e.g., car allowances, special payments, and others) were not included due to the lack of a globally consistent data set and to avoid distorting the results.
