More than mobility: responsibility for Dortmund

Sustainability is not just a buzzword for us, but a lived practice. We rely on environmentally friendly technologies such as e-buses and continuously invest in the modernisation of our fleet. Our aim is to reduce CO₂ emissions and improve Dortmund's air quality. Together, we are shaping a sustainable future for our city.

As part of Dortmund society, social commitment is particularly important to us. We support local projects and initiatives that enrich life in our city. Whether by sponsoring sports clubs, cultural events or educational projects - we are involved and actively contribute to Dortmund's social development. The centrepiece of our social commitment is DORTMUT - a sponsorship competition launched by DSW21 to support clubs and campaigns in Dortmund. Here you can find out more about DORTMUT. DSW21 is a wholly owned subsidiary of the City of Dortmund and part of the 21 Group. As a Dortmund resident, you can't avoid the 21 Group. We take care of the municipal infrastructure and public services for our city.
