The fascination of sport

Deutsche Bahn sees itself as a natural partner for sports and wishes to promote sporting values. Focal points of these activities are football and supporting disabled athletes.

Sustainability report 2009

In its second sustainabilty report Deutsche Bahn ensures once more that responsible conduct is taken into consideration in its corporate policy.

Fewer pollutants mean clean air

Nitrogen oxides and soot particles are the most notable harmful pollutants; that’s why Deutsche Bahn takes air pollution seriously and continues to cut emissions from its trains.

Commitment to youth, education, and integrity

As a major corporation, DB is well aware of its social responsibility. For many years it has played an active role in Germany as partner to the “Stiftung Lesen” foundation to promote reading, the youth organization “Off Road Kids,” and sports for the disabled.

Climate protection at Deutsche Bahn

Climate protection has a long tradition at Deutsche Bahn. Since 1990, DB has cut its CO2 emissions from rail transportation by around 45% based on transport performance. It has undertaken to expand this pioneering role for the future.
