MTU Aero Engines is reaffirming its commitment to social responsibility and has entrusted Lars Wagner, Chief Operating Officer of MTU Aero Engines AG, with the role of Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO) in addition to his current responsibilities. Wagner is already responsible for important sustainability issues such as climate protection in development and production or supplier management.
MTU has now bundled the responsibilities for other aspects of corporate responsibility management (CR management) and anchored them at the board level. In this way, MTU underscores the growing relevance of responsible action for the company.
In addition to the focus on product responsibility, sustainability means much more to MTU than simply climate protection and safe flight operations. It includes resource- and environmentally friendly production and maintenance as well as fair and safe working conditions, equal opportunities for all employees plus high-quality training and further education. Compliance is another essential part of the corporate culture and sustainability does not end at the factory gate. That’s why MTU has also included the supply chain in its activities.
The newly established CSO will work closely with the Supervisory Board and the other members of the Board of Management in order to drive MTU forward with a view to achieving its sustainable business goals.
