ThyssenKrupp Steel Publishes Second Sustainability Report
Aug. 21, 2009
Sustainability is a key issue, no matter the economic climate. That philosophy is why ThyssenKrupp Steel recently published its second Sustainability Report.
However, in an attempt to cut costs, the report is only available via the Internet. It can be viewed and downloaded as a PDF file at www.thyssenkrupp-steel.de.
As a sequel to the report published in May 2006, the Sustainability Report 2009 covers fiscal years 2005/2006 through 2007/2008.
ThyssenKrupp Steel’s sustainability philosophy follows the concept established by the United Nations: All decisions and actions are designed to contribute to a sustainable development that fulfills the needs of the present generation without depriving future generations of the possibility to fulfill their own needs.
“But I have to stress that only an economically sound company can survive in the competition and preserve and create safe jobs,” states Edwin Eichler, Chairman of the Executive Board of ThyssenKrupp Steel AG, in the report’s preface.
