ENABLER OF THE GREEN TRANSFORMATION
Our industry is in the midst of the greatest transformation in history – with the goal of complete climate neutrality. This involves nothing less than the fundamental renewal of our industrial foundations – and thus probably the greatest modernization and renewal since the Industrial Revolution.
As one of the world’s leading companies in technology and industry, we play a central role in this process. Together, we are moving forward to ensure a better future for ourselves and the generations to come.
The world needs more sustainability – we need you!

OUR CLIMATE STRATEGY
Our mission: to drive the green transformation of an entire industry. We are not satisfied with anything less!
We have been optimizing the energy and climate efficiency of our production for many years. Together with our customers, we develop efficient solutions and innovative products to reduce greenhouse gases.
The success of our climate efforts is also regularly confirmed by independent bodies: For example, In 2023 thyssenkrupp has been included in the A-list of the renowned non-profit organization CDP (formerly Carbon Disclosure Project) for the eighth time in succession. This means we have once again been recognized as one of the world’s leading companies in climate protection.
We are now taking the next step in the further development of our climate strategy and setting ourselves the next ambitious targets: At thyssenkrupp we aim to be completely climate neutral by 2050 at the latest, in individual areas and countries significantly earlier.
This will be achieved through our Climate Action Program for Sustainable Solutions (CAPS).
This means:
- We optimize our own processes (#IMPLEMENT).
- We enable our customers to achieve their climate goals with our products and solutions (#ENABLE)
- We engage in socio-political dialog for a climate-neutral future (#ENGAGE).

Chief Executive Officer thyssenkrupp
DON´T DELAY,
DELIVER
WE ARE ALREADY DOING THIS TODAY - ARE YOU WITH US?
We are paving the way for the green transformation. We integrate climate protection and energy efficiency at all levels and set standards at all stages of the value chain: In production, across the entire supply chain, in our internal processes, all the way to implementation at our customers’ sites. With our pioneering solutions, we are shaping a resource-efficient future for ourselves and the next generations.
In doing so, we enthusiastically focus on particularly significant areas. Especially in our unit thyssenkrupp Decarbon Technologies, we are already pooling and developing sustainable solutions for tomorrow. And for this, we need you and your drive to make a difference!
SUSTAINABLE STEEL
At around 30%, conventional steel production accounts for the largest share of industrial greenhouse gas emissions in Germany. It’s time to take action. The good news is: we are already on it. With our solutions for green steel production, we will make a significant contribution to reducing climate-damaging emissions. The use of green hydrogen at thyssenkrupp Steel is the key step in making the steel industry more environmentally friendly: We are replacing the blast furnaces with a direct reduction technology. The result: No CO2, more water vapor. Hydrogen instead of coal is the goal. To achieve this, at the beginning of March thyssenkrupp Steel awarded a billion euro contract for a direct reduction plant to the SMS group. One of the world’s biggest industrial decarbonization projects with an order volume for SMS alone of over 1.8 billion euros.
It is a groundbreaking concept with a capacity of 2.5 million tons of direct-reduced iron. The plant is scheduled to start operations by the end of 2026. The annual CO2 savings amount to over 3.5 million tons. And therefore a win-win for us all. Do you want to revolutionize steel production with us? Then become part of #nextgenerationsteel!

GREEN METHANOL
Methanol is one of the most frequently produced organic chemicals in the world. Whether in the chemical, construction or plastics industry, it has become indispensable. However, the conventional production of methanol so far utilizes fossil resources such as natural gas. We at thyssenkrupp are changing that – with our uhde® Green Methanol technology from thyssenkrupp Uhde. By using green hydrogen and carbon dioxide, for example from biogas or other fermentation plants, we enable the production of green methanol. This reduces the amount of greenhouse gases emitted.

AMBITIOUS GOALS -
IMPRESSIVE FIGURES
Last fiscal year, we already reduced our CO2 emissions by 1.6 million metric tons! This is an important step toward our goal of climate neutrality by 2050 at the latest. With our innovative products and solutions, we also support our customers in achieving their climate goals.
In the past fiscal year we set ourselves the target of increasing energy efficiency at thyssenkrupp by 110 GWh. We actually more than doubled this target to around 255 GWh!
In the last fiscal year alone, we filed 1,500 new patent and utility model applications. This means that our patent portfolio currently comprises 17,370 patents and utility models – including numerous innovations in the area of sustainability.
Every year, we conduct at least 60 sustainability audits of suppliers. In this way, we actively support them in becoming more sustainable.
