Knorr-Bremse considers itself a responsible company. With sustainable corporate management, we take responsibility – towards our employees, customers and business partners, as well as for the environment and society. Today and with a view to the future.
We consider it part of our identity to act with foresight and a sense of responsibility. Far-sighted business practices, a respectful relationship with the environment and fair dealings with others – these principles have a very long tradition at Knorr-Bremse, a company with a successful corporate history stretching back over 120 years. We are convinced that by systematically taking economic, environmental and social factors into account, we can ensure the long-term success of our business while also bringing about benefits for society.
Our Sustainability strategy
Knorr-Bremse is committed to fulfilling its environmental and social responsibilities. Accordingly, we have committed ourselves to sustainable corporate governance and have anchored sustainability in our corporate organization and business processes. Our Group-wide sustainability strategy forms the basis for this and formulates concrete fields of action and goals.
International sustainability principles
Knorr-Bremse’s commitment to sustainable development is founded, on the one hand, on the Group’s five core corporate values and internal guidelines such as the Code of Conduct or the Human Rights Policy. On the other hand, the company’s sustainability roadmap is based on internationally recognized principles and standards such as those found in the UN Global Compact, which sets out a code of conduct relating to human rights, labor, environmental protection and the fight against corruption.
