Our local and social Commitment in Sweden.

For Knorr‑Bremse, business success and social responsibility belong together. For good reason: Social engagement adds value – for affected and supported individuals as well as for the business locations and the employees of Knorr-Bremse.

Our social commitment rests on two pillars: Local Care and Global Care. Local Care covers the social commitment at the sites, while the non-profit organization Knorr-Bremse Global Care supports longer-term and more extensive aid projects worldwide.

Local Care – Engagement at our Sites in Sweden

Local social commitment has a long tradition at Knorr-Bremse. With our Local Care Commitment we focus on projects and challenges, preferably in the immediate proximity of the respective Knorr-Bremse sites. It includes financial donations as well as corporate volunteering projects, with the personal involvement of our employees. These activities focus on the environment, education, health and social cohesion.

Knorr-Bremse Global Care – Supporting People Around the World

Knorr-Bremse Global Care is an independent, non-profit organization that supports people in need in the vicinity of the Company’s sites and around the world. Its two thematic priorities WASH (water, sanitation and hygiene) and education contribute directly towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations No. 4 ‘Quality Education’ and No. 6 ‘Clean Water and Sanitation’. The decentralized structure with regional entities ensures the anchoring of its work in the local communities and simultaneously promotes employees' awareness of social commitment.

KNORR-BREMSE GLOBAL CARE – OUR HISTORY

Everything started after the tsunami 2004 in South-East Asia. Knorr-Bremse Global Care provided rapid and unbureaucratic aid for emergency relief and reconstruction projects.

The work quickly became more professional and long-term projects were implemented around the world.

In 2012, we began to increase our involvement in countries with Knorr-Bremse sites. Furthermore, we also focused on our funding areas.

In 2016, we focused on ten countries without Knorr-Bremse sites in addition to the Knorr-Bremse location countries. In order to be even more effective, only projects in education.

… and WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) have been funded.

With these two funding areas, we contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals 4 and 6 of the United Nations.

In 2018 two new Knorr-Bremse Global Care organizations were established. In the future, more Knorr-Bremse employees will be involved in Global Care activities.
