Environmental organization CDP honors thyssenkrupp for transparency and climate protection for the tenth time in a row

• Top marks: thyssenkrupp impresses with transparent carbon footprint and ambitious targets in line with the Paris Climate Agreement

• Decarbonization through the use of cutting-edge technologies at our customers and in our own processes: Industrial group actively driving transformation to sustainable industry

For the tenth time in a row, the world’s leading non-profit environmental organization CDP has awarded thyssenkrupp top marks in its prestigious climate ranking, recognizing the Essen-based industrial and technology group’s climate protection and transparent approach to disclosing its own carbon emissions. With this result, thyssenkrupp has once again secured a place on the annual Climate A List, making it one of only 877 companies internationally with this distinction, including 34 companies from Germany.

The CDP serves as an important basis for investors and companies when making decisions to promote a sustainable and future-oriented economy. Last year alone, CDP collected data on environmental impacts, risks and opportunities on behalf of 640 investors with 127 trillion US dollars in assets. Alongside thyssenkrupp, more than 22,000 companies disclosed their environmental data via CDP in 2025.

Miguel López, CEO of thyssenkrupp AG and CEO of the Decarbon Technologies segment: “The renewed distinction in the CDP rating is both confirmation and an incentive for us: thyssenkrupp stands for transparency and systematic climate and emissions management with measurable progress. For us, climate protection is part of our business model: We combine ambitious targets with verifiable measures – responsibly, based on data and along the entire value chain. For our customers and our locations worldwide.”

Ilse Henne, member of the Executive Board of thyssenkrupp AG and responsible for sustainability: “We assume responsibility for the environment and the climate. We pursue this goal reliably, systematically and swiftly by reducing emissions and documenting progress and measures in a reliable manner. I am pleased to see that the disclosure of our carbon footprint and our systematic climate management create impact and trust – among customers, partners, and investors. The award and our place on the CDP A List are a team success. Our employees drive technologies and partnerships that reduce emissions and create resilience.”

By promoting climate-friendly solutions that reduce CO₂ in production processes, thyssenkrupp is actively contributing to the transformation toward a sustainable industry. For example, the first hydrogen-capable direct reduction plant is being built at the Duisburg steel site. It is one of the world’s largest industrial decarbonization projects.

In addition to decarbonizing its own production processes, thyssenkrupp also supports its customers on the path to climate neutrality with reliable and measurable solutions for sustainable value creation in a competitive industry. thyssenkrupp’s Decarbon Technologies segment is a globally respected industrial supplier of innovative cutting-edge technologies in the field of green transformation: Rothe Erde is a world leader in the latest generation of slewing bearings, supporting the energy transition, while thyssenkrupp nucera is one of the world’s leading suppliers of electrolysis plants for the production of hydrogen. Uhde is able to satisfy the growing demand for clean ammonia, green methanol, sustainable aviation fuel and carbon capture technologies. The company is also developing assistive technologies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, such as ammonia cracking and biomass gasification. And Polysius is pioneering the climate-neutral conversion of the cement industry with its patented pure oxyfuel technology.
