Our ideas and concepts for a sustainable future

Product stewardship is our main focus, but sustainability at MTU goes far beyond climate protection and safe flight operations. It encompasses resource-conserving and environment-friendly production and maintenance as well as fair and safe working conditions, equal opportunities for all employees and high-quality training and development. Compliance forms a key part of our corporate culture and sustainability does not end at the gates of our plants: we involve the supply chain in our activities, too.

“The coronavirus pandemic demonstrates the importance of responsible and decisive action. As a company, we bear responsibility for the protection and health of our employees, but we also recognize our obligation to society and the environment. That is why we are continuing to pursue the changes necessary to create a more sustainable future.”
