Higher participation in Academy programs<br />
Founded in 2006, the <strong>ThyssenKrupp</strong> Academy is now an established place of teaching, learning and internal<br />
networking for the Group’s top managers. More than 100 programs were available in 2010/2011, and the<br />
number of participants doubled from the prior year. Both the reach and penetration of our programs among<br />
the 2,000 top executives have increased significantly. Alongside the development of management<br />
competencies, this year saw a focus on strategic change and business transformation. The new programs to<br />
prepare our managers for a move up the career ladder were also well attended.<br />
Diversity as a goal of personnel policy<br />
The project ‘diversity@thyssenkrupp’ was launched in fall 2011 to promote diversity in all areas of the<br />
Group, focusing on gender, internationality, capabilities and experience. The aim of the project is to<br />
gradually and sustainably increase diversity within the workforce as a whole and especially at higher<br />
management levels throughout the Group. The new program integrates existing initiatives and HR tools and<br />
promotes a common understanding of diversity. The aim is to increase the proportion of women in our nonpay-scale<br />
managerial staff in Germany from the present level of 7.6% to 15% by the end of 2020. This<br />
target is based on the percentage of women in our overall workforce.<br />
As a technology company, <strong>ThyssenKrupp</strong> is very interested in recruiting female engineers to specialist and<br />
management positions. We are particularly looking to attract students of the so-called STEM subjects. For<br />
this reason we support the Femtec university career center for women in Berlin and give female engineering<br />
students the opportunity to contact us directly and find out more about our technology company.<br />
In order to help balance family and work commitments we are currently building a child daycare center on<br />
our campus in Essen. From August 2012 we will offer full-day places to over 100 children aged from four<br />
months to six years to support parents working at <strong>ThyssenKrupp</strong>. Our daycare center “Miniapolis” will<br />
nurture children’s natural curiosity and joy of discovery, in particular in the areas of science and technology.<br />
Environment and climate<br />
The Executive Board has identified responsible environmental and climate protection as an important<br />
corporate objective. To implement this goal we have further expanded our Groupwide environmental and<br />
climate management system. In addition our international environmental and climate protection activities<br />
will be coordinated by corporate headquarters in the future.<br />
Our environmental and climate management system defines uniform requirements to be met by our Group<br />
companies around the world, improves internal reporting, and promotes Groupwide knowledge sharing. The<br />
Group’s environmental and climate protection experts meet up regularly. In addition current developments,<br />
best practices, and environmental and climate legislation are discussed at regional meetings.
