Corporate citizenship
100 | 101
ThyssenKrupp supports the people in the communities in which we operate. We help create a positive
environment and promote education and enthusiasm for technology especially among the younger
generation – all this is a matter of course for us and creates value for both company and society. In line with
our long-standing traditions, we regard ourselves as an active corporate citizen and support initiatives
around the world through donations, sponsorships and other means.
Long-term and trusting partnerships are central to our successful cooperation with various groups in society.
This includes numerous longstanding major projects such as the “Discovering Future Technology” initiative,
cooperation with the “Jugend forscht” young scientists’ competition and membership of the “Initiativkreis
Ruhr”. In 2010/2011 we once again staged regional heats of “Jugend forscht” in Dortmund and Duisburg
and acted as a partner to the regional heat in the Saarland area. We also organize donation appeals in
response to major natural disasters or other emergency situations – this reporting year in East Africa, for
example – to allow our employees and companies to provide united support.
