The Forest
As a global technology leader in braking and subsystems for rail and commercial vehicles, Knorr-Bremse has always looked to the future and played a major part in making transportation sustainable, safe and environmentally friendly. Knorr-Bremse continues to pave the way for the future of sustainable mobility, through the adoption and implementation of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of United Nations 2030 Agenda, through the organization no-profit Knorr-Bremse Global Care, established in December 2004 to help victims of the tsunami in Thailand.This means operating in ways that, at a minimum, meet fundamental responsibilities in the areas of human rights, labor, and environment. With Climate Strategy 2030, Knorr-Bremse has set itself the goal of reducing the CO2 emissions by 50.4 percent by 2030. As first goal, all Knorr-Bremse locations have reached the carbon neutrality at the end of 2021. In 2022, Knorr-Bremse Rail Systems Italia has contributed to the reforestation of the planet by planting the first 200 trees with Treedom and donating them to our employees.
Impact
The trees we plant have big ambitions: to bring benefits not only to the environment, but also to the people who live in it. That's why we work with NGOs and local communities to select the right tree for the right place and the right purpose. That’s why we think about the medium and long term, because we’re not content with simply planting trees: we want to see them grow.
The trees in the forest will absorb:
