Corporate Responsibility.

Sustainable development is the guiding principle behind our corporate responsibility activities. This responsibility applies not just to our products and how they are manufactured, but also to our employees, environmental protection and social commitment.

As a global technology leader in braking and subsystems for rail and commercial vehicles, Knorr-Bremse has always looked to the future and played a major part in making transportation sustainable, safe and environmentally friendly. This entails a very high level of responsibility – which is why we have made sustainability an integral part of our corporate culture and strategy.
