thyssenkrupp scores top marks again in the CDP Climate Rating

thyssenkrupp has been awarded the highest rating in the prestigious CDP Climate Rating for the ninth time in a row. This award underscores the company's ongoing commitment to climate protection as well as its transparent approach to disclosing its own CO₂ emissions and its strategy for the transition to a climate-friendly economy.

The non-profit organization CDP recognizes thyssenkrupp for its achievements in decarbonization. In addition to thyssenkrupp, over 24,800 companies have disclosed their environmental data through CDP in 2024. CDP conducts its annual rating on behalf of over 700 financial institutions with 140 trillion US dollars in assets.

Miguel López, CEO of thyssenkrupp AG and CEO of the Decarbon Technologies segment: "If we want to keep the planet habitable for future generations, the world must act – we at thyssenkrupp are already doing so: Not only are we reducing our own carbon dioxide emissions, we are also leveraging our leading technologies with our customers worldwide to reduce their CO₂ emissions. We are firmly convinced that the green transformation is irreversible. The CDP award is a clear confirmation of our strategy to actively shape a climate-friendly future."

Ilse Henne, member of the Executive Board of thyssenkrupp AG, is responsible for sustainability: "We take our commitment to achieving ambitious climate goals in line with the 1.5 degree target under the Paris Agreement very seriously. In the past fiscal year, for example, we once again significantly exceeded the target we set ourselves for energy efficiency as an important lever for reducing emissions. We will continue to press ahead on this path with speed and consistency."

As a pioneer of the green transformation, thyssenkrupp is working intensively to replace carbon-intensive production processes with climate-friendly technologies. One example is the construction of the first hydrogen-capable direct reduction plant at the Duisburg site, one of the world's largest industrial decarbonization projects. We are also providing our customers with intensive support on the path to decarbonization: The Decarbon Technologies segment, which was founded just over a year ago, is already one of the world's largest and most respected industrial suppliers of cutting-edge technologies for the green transformation.
