Commitment

At ThyssenKrupp we bear responsibility not only to our stockholders, customers and employees, but also to many other stakeholders not directly involved with the company. These include the general community, with its ever more complex wishes, dreams and expectations. The environment, too, depends on us to handle it with care.

For ThyssenKrupp, sustainable development is an ongoing, never-ending process that encompasses the company's social as well as business performance, our use of resources and the number of jobs and amount of training we provide. This has far-reaching consequences for our day-to-day operations.

It's important to us that our employees develop resource-conserving processes and innovative, sophisticated products. But our commitment extends far beyond our core business. A wide range of projects in the area of education, such as our co-operation with various universities and our involvement in youth science, are just as much part of sustainable development as our support for cultural, sporting and social activities.
