ESG information for Capital Markets

Sustainability is a core component of our corporate strategy. As a group of companies we aim to supply innovative products, technologies and services worldwide that contribute to the sustainable success of our customers.

thyssenkrupp provides continuous and fully integrated reporting on its sustainability performance within its annual report and on its corporate website. Accordingly, the sustainability report is made up of various documents. The overview page on sustainability provides links to all key content.

Sustainability strategy and targets

Environment, Social, Governance (ESG)

Environment and energy

thyssenkrupp attaches great importance to the topics of environmental protection, climate change and energy efficiency – from supply chain to internal processes to customers. With our solutions we want to help meet rising demand for goods and services in a resource-efficient way. Environmental protection is therefore a core element of thyssenkrupp’s sustainability efforts and thus its corporate strategy.

thyssenkrupp Steel’s climate strategy

The goal is clear: Steelmaking at thyssenkrupp is to be climate-neutral by 2050. With its climate strategy the company is stepping up its current activities to reduce emissions, accepting its social responsibility and showing its commitment to the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement. As an initial target thyssenkrupp is aiming to reduce emissions from its own production and processes and from the purchase of energy by 30 percent versus the base year 2018 by 2030. To achieve these goals, we are going to need support from policy makers. Only with the right framework, the transformation of the industry will be a success

Advanced alkaline water electrolysis

Based on thyssenkrupp Uhde Chlorine Engineers’ robust and efficient chlor-alkali technologies we are developing our own advanced alkaline water electrolysis technology. Identifying the need for a low-CAPEX, low-OPEX technology to keep the electricity grid in balance in the future and to provide a continuous source of hydrogen and oxygen upstream from a chemical plant, we are on the verge of adding a single modular concept for these applications to our portfolio.

Further information

Occupational safety & health

Everyone who works for thyssenkrupp should be able to do so safely and remain healthy. This is our top priority and something we work towards every day. We want to reduce the number of accidents by systematically eliminating unsafe conditions and acts, because we know that on average for every 30,000 unsafe conditions or acts, one fatal accident occurs.

Our vision is clear: “Zero Accidents”. To this end we must systematically identify safety weaknesses and risks to health. We must systematically exchange information on how to improve. And we must systematically implement ideas for improvements and monitor their effect. We do all of this.

Further information

Diversity & Inclusion

Diversity & Inclusion Management is a fixed part of our HR policy. This is also demonstrated in our mission statement, our management principles, with our signing of the “Diversity Charter” as well as with our commitment to the “UN Standards of Conduct for Business” tackling discrimination against LGBTI people. Furthermore, Diversity is a business case: several studies confirm that diverse teams are more successful, innovative, creative and productive.

Human rights & Responsible Procurement

Human rights, fair working conditions, environmental protection and the battle against corruption – these are values that we hold high within our Group and throughout our supply chain. We at thyssenkrupp are committed to the United Nations Global Compact. Acting responsibly is firmly integrated in our procurement processes. When awarding contracts, our decisions are not only based on economic, technological and process criteria. Sustainability is also playing a key role in our supplier management. Moreover, we continuously develop our processes. This also means, for example, that we want to further increase transparency regarding the origin of raw materials and so-called conflict materials to detect risks early.

Corporate Governance

The term “corporate governance” stands for responsible corporate management and control geared to long-term value creation. Efficient cooperation between Executive Board and Supervisory Board, respect for shareholder interests, openness and transparency of corporate communications are key aspects of good corporate governance.

Further information

Compensation system / Compensation Report

The Executive Board compensation system is a key element in the alignment of the group and plays a major role in promoting business strategy, enhancing operating performance and thus securing the long-term success of the group.

Our goal is to support successful and sustainable corporate management by tying the compensation of Executive Board members to both the short-term and long-term performance of the company. At the same time the selection of suitable performance criteria creates incentives for implementing the strategic realignment of the group.
