We shape sustainable business
Act sustainably, grow economically
We create measurable added value with digital solutions.
Digitalisation and sustainability go hand in hand.
With digital solutions and sustainable product offerings, we support companies not only in making their sustainability measurable, but also in achieving their sustainability goals.
First! Climate-neutral in our own operations
Net zero is our goal
With us, the climate wins! We are the first DAX-listed company to achieve #carbonneutrality in our own operations worldwide!
Since 2017, we have reduced our emissions by over 94 per cent – equivalent to around 28 million tonnes fewer greenhouse gases. We offset the remaining emissions through high-quality carbon removal projects, making us greenhouse gas neutral in our balance sheet.
Our goal: net-zero CO2 emissions by 2040 across the entire value chain.

Success stories
Ströer: Mobile devices under control
Around 2,000 mobile devices across a large number of group companies posed a considerable challenge for the media company Ströer. A flexible rental concept and managed services ensure transparent processes, predictable costs and maximum relief for IT. High document volumes, non-standardised data structures and high manual effort are now a thing of the past.
Frutania
Frutania GmbH supplies food retailers across Europe with fresh fruit and vegetables sourced from farms. The goods are prepared for rapid onward transport in the refrigerated warehouse at the Rhineland Innovation Park. Employees move thousands of pallets every day. Frutania sought a suitable solution for seamless tracking in a feasibility study with Telekom MMS.
