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.

_{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.

_{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.

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.

_{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.

_{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.
