What Deutsche Telekom Has To Say About Climate Change:

"The stabilization of the global climate is one of the most challenging environmental tasks of the new century for our society and also for the business community. Healthy business requires a healthy environment.

"We follow a double strategy as far as global climate change is concerned: On the one hand we are implementing wide-ranging measures for increasing the energy efficiency in our own business, and on the other hand we are offering our customers telecommunications services that can substitute for energy- and material-intensive functions."

- Dr. Heinz Klinkhammer, Member of the Board of Management, Deutsche Telekom
