Corporate Responsibility
MTU's CR strategy
Reconciling ecological and social responsibility with economic considerations is the main task of the MTU Group’s sustainability management efforts. This responsibility underpins our dealings with employees, customers, partners and all other stakeholders in society. One key focus here is product development.
As a signatory to the UN Global Compact, we are committed to observing its ten principles of respect for human rights, fair working conditions, environmental protection and prevention of corruption.
Sustainability is a core value and key objective of the engine industry. After all, aircraft engines have a lifespan of several decades. Their development requires extensive engineering and testing work and high upfront investments and, hence, must be based on a future-oriented business model. Sustainable management secures MTU’s business success and economic viability down the road and helps the company remain competitive in a market driven by long-term business cycles, allowing it to open up new business segments, minimize risks and address economic, environmental and social challenges early in the game.
