Sustainability

Knorr-Bremse’s approach to corporate responsibility is based on the principle of development, and applies not only to our products and how they are manufactured but to our employees, the environment and society as a whole.

Since 2011, we have been informing our stakeholders of activities in our Sustainability Report (until 2018 the UN Global Compact (UNGC) Report). As is required of listed companies, Knorr-Bremse has been producing a report since 2018, which is also reviewed by the auditor. This report sets out in detail the impact the Company has on the environment and society, and presents key indicators as well as the targets and measures Knorr-Bremse uses to manage its sustainability activities.
