Supporting social engagement

We at Deutsche Bahn play an important role in society. This gives us a special responsibility that we want to live up to. This is why we contribute to the community.

Deutsche Bahn Foundation plays a vital role in this regard. The independent non-profit foundation was founded to unite the DB Museum and Deutsche Bahn's charitable activities under one roof, develop their programming and increase their visibility. It runs projects in the areas of education and integration with the aim of promoting equal opportunities at the workplace and helping people in need. It also promotes volunteer work.

We at the DB Group also serve society in a variety of ways. This includes, for example, providing relief in humanitarian emergencies, or the long-standing cooperation with charitable institutions such as train station missions. We have also set up a corporate volunteering program to introduce our employees to volunteer work. Furthermore, we at Deutsche Bahn provide financial support for selected projects – from regional top-class sports to social initiatives and the promotion of science and research.

 

Key focus areas of social responsibility

We derive our key focus areas from our four clearly defined standpoints. They show in specific terms how we take social responsibility in everyday life.
