Local activities

In addition to our key areas of arousing enthusiasm for technology and education, we also support numerous local projects and initiatives.

We regard ourselves as a good neighbor all over the world. So we attach importance to supporting positive developments in our immediate neighborhoods and thereby improve the quality of life at our locations. Long-term and trusting partnerships are central to ThyssenKrupp’s success in cooperating with various groups in society.

The Quarter Days in Essen, September 2010

Group companies at all our sites regard themselves as an active member of the community and support a wide variety of non-profit projects, organizations and initiatives. These include donations for school projects and sponsorships of local cultural and sporting events, but also close dialogue with the community, e.g. within the framework of local round tables in Duisburg, open houses in Calvert (USA) or the Quarter Days in Essen. Our activities always focus on the immediate neighborhoods of our locations – and in particular the Rhine-Ruhr region.
