With Strong Rail, we have anchored sustainability as a central purpose in our Group strategy. With the green transformation and our social responsibility, we are pursuing a holistic approach that encompasses the entire Deutsche Bahn Group.
Four fields of action for DB's green transformation
DB has set itself a net-zero climate protection target and is driving decarbonization with four levers: increasing the share of green electricity, phasing out diesel, implementing the decarbonization of heating and increasing energy efficiency.
Deutsche Bahn takes responsibility for a healthy ecosystem and is working on measures for biodiversity. After all, more rail traffic also means that interference with nature cannot always be avoided.
Worldwide, far more raw materials are consumed than nature can regenerate. This is why DB wants to make careful use of the resources available to it and introduce a circular economy by 2040.
Deutsche Bahn will relieve all affected residents from noise caused by rail traffic by 2050. To this end, it is working with the federal government to reduce noise through noise protection in the infrastructure and on the vehicles.
Four standpoints of social responsibility
Deutsche Bahn shapes the everyday lives of many people in Germany - whether they are customers, employees or business partners. This means that DB is not only at the heart of society, it is also an important part of it.
As one of the country's largest companies, DB plays an important role in society. The Group therefore aims to contribute to the functioning of this society - even beyond its own business activities.
Deutsche Bahn stands for an open, inclusive society. Appreciation of social diversity is an integral part of the corporate culture, which the Group promotes both internally and externally with various very specific measures.
DB is inextricably linked with the history of the railroads in Germany. As a result, the Group has a perpetual responsibility to deal with this past and preserve the memory of it.
