With DB you are an environmentalist
The time of hesitation is over. Climate change is palpable. We all, therefore, bear the responsibility to act now and to leave a planet worth living for future generations.
Deutsche Bahn accepts this environmental responsibility - it is what our strategy #starkeschiene (strong rail) stands for. Only if a significant portion of traffic is shifted to a strong green railway system, Germany and Europe can achieve their climate targets.
No means of transport is as climate friendly as our trains. Today, around 140 million long-distance passengers already use 100 percent green electricity. By 2038, DB plans to operate all trains excusicvely with green electricity. And by 2050, Deutsche Bahn aims to be CO2-free.
Environmental protection also means maintaining a healthy ecosystem. That is why we create habitats for endangered animals and plants and are committed to biodiversity. We also treat resources with care: By 2020, we want to recycle more than 95 percent of the raw materials we use.
However, winning more passengers and goods for a green rail also means thinking of the people who live close to it: That is why we are continuously innovating our means to reduce noise pollution with the clear goal of halving rail traffic noise by 2020.
"Das ist grün" (That is green) stands for this environmental strategy and more than 150 green projects in climate, nature, resource, and noise protection.
