🎉 Today, we celebrate an extraordinary day in engineering history! On this day in 1876, Viktor #Kaplan – a visionary engineer who revolutionized #hydropower – was born in Austria. In 1913, Kaplan patented the turbine that bears his name, a groundbreaking invention still vital in hydropower plants today, contributing significantly to sustainable #energy generation. 🌊⚙️ #Voith was granted to use his patents in 1922 and played a pivotal role in bringing Kaplan's invention to the market and spreading it worldwide. Through this, Kaplan and Voith paved the way for a sustainable energy transformation that we are witnessing today and continue to shape the future of energy supply. 🌍💡 Let’s celebrate the legacy of Viktor Kaplan and stay inspired to drive innovations in the energy sector! #EngineeringExcellence

🌍 Today is World Sustainable Transport Day – a reminder that while transport connects people, fosters trade, and drives economic growth, it is also a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions. Addressing this challenge is essential for driving sustainable development. At #Voith, we are committed to sustainable transport by making our global transport operations more resource-efficient and leveraging our expertise to provide innovative solutions for freight and passenger transportation. Here are some examples of how we’re contributing: 🚂 With more goods needing to be transported faster and on time, Voith’s CargoFlex is the key to digital, intelligent, and connected rail freight, making it much faster, safer, and more efficient. ⚡ With the electric Voith Schneider Propeller (eVSP), we are taking an important step towards the electrification of the drivetrain in maritime applications and thus to a more eco-friendly shipping industry. 📦 In our shipping processes, we prioritize low-emission and resource-efficient logistics. With these and other products and initiatives, we contribute to a future of sustainable transport and development. #sustainabletransport #innovation #greenmobility

❓ Did you know that, according to the 2024 Emissions Gap Report, released ahead of the 29th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP29) concluding today, a 42% reduction in global greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 compared to current levels is necessary to meet the 1.5°C target and mitigate climate change? 🌱 At #Voith, we recognize our responsibility to reduce emissions and place #sustainability at the heart of our actions. A prime example is our participation in the United Nations "Sustainable Development Goals Innovation Accelerator", where young talents work on innovative and sustainable solutions to address challenges related to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). 💡 As part of the UN Global Compact Netzwerk Deutschland initiative, our Voith talents Sarah Schumacher and Michael Schneider analyzed opportunities to reduce CO₂-emissions within the supply chain. They identified steel as a main driver of CO₂-emissions in the Voith supply chain and developed measures – for example with a potential green steel quota – to reduce CO₂-emissions in a long-term perspective. Their analysis and results contribute significantly to advancing Voith’s sustainability strategy and reducing CO₂-emissions in the supply chain. 👏 A big thank you to Sarah and Michael for their dedication and contribution to our ongoing sustainability journey at Voith! #ClimateAction #COP29 #EmissionReduction

A big ❤️ for all the children around the world: today we are celebrating World Children’s Day! At #Voith, we know it is up to us to shape our actions sustainably – in a way that preserves the world for future generations. But what are we doing to make children strong for the future? 🌟 We support the development of young people through vocational training opportunities and dual-study programs all around the globe – giving today’s youth a professional perspective. 🌟 We provide donations and sponsorships to support organizations that stand up for the rights of children, such as #UNICEF, and foster initiatives with a focus on education and training for children, adolescents, and young adults. 🌟In India, within the #VoithCares program, Voith was able to provide bicycles to 23 underprivileged children in the poor region of Ahmednagar, Maharashtra. This initiative is enabling children to attend school and filling a crucial gap for families unable to afford public transport. 🌟 The #Haiti Kinderhilfe association has received financial support for a tree planting project, promoting social protection and sustainable climate protection in #Haiti. The aim of the organization is to provide children and young people with education through self-help, so they have the chance of employment in adulthood. 🌟 In #Brazil, the Voith Formare program offers apprenticeships and vocational training to low-income young people attending public schools in the Jaraguá area. Since 2006, more than 300 students have benefited from this program, which qualifies young people for their first job. 🌟 The world needs innovative and visionary minds, so every child should be able to fuel their passion for science, technology, engineering, and math. In #Germany, Voith is supporting initiatives such as the Wissensfabrik, a nonprofit association that supports #STEM education for kids from primary school age onwards. Working together, we can make the world we live in a little better for our children. Happy World Children’s Day to all those wonderful kids out there! ❤️
