Deutsche Telekom focuses on major technical and social trends and plays a key role in shaping them: the increasing digitization of many spheres of life, the personalization of products and services, growing mobilization and internationalization.

Deutsche Telekom stays abreast of the growing convergence of technologies with an increasingly integrated product portfolio, where personal data such as music, videos and addresses can be accessed through any and all terminal equipment.

Deutsche Telekom provides network access, communications services and value-added services with ever increasing bandwidth via the fixed and mobile networks. The Group thus supports personal and social networking using innovative products and services.

In addition to its core business (classic fixed-network and mobile access business), the company is specifically tapping new growth areas through investments in intelligent networks and its portfolio of IT, Internet and network services.

Since April 2010, Deutsche Telekom has provided customers on the domestic German market with product and service offerings tailored to their requirements and the best network quality from a single source. For this reason, the company consolidated its previously independent business units for fixed-network (T-Home) and mobile (T-Mobile) communications. The "T" is the Group’s company brand and will also become an integral part of the brand image of its international affiliates in future.

T-Systems, Deutsche Telekom’s corporate customers arm, is focused on business involving network-centric ICT solutions – with offers combining IT and telecommunications services. T-Systems offers global companies the solutions they need from a single source. In addition, it is increasingly focusing on services such as cloud computing and IT solutions for the energy, healthcare, media distribution, and automotive sectors, which are undergoing radical changes.

The Group is expressly committed to sustainability and bases its actions on economic as well as social and ecological criteria. Deutsche Telekom regularly ranks highly in international sustainability ratings as a result of its environmental and social performance. In 2009, Deutsche Telekom was named "sector leader" in the ranking carried out by the renowned SAM agency (Sustainable Asset Management, Zurich) for its sustainability performance in the mobile communications sector. The Group meets its entire power requirements in Germany using renewable energy sources. Deutsche Telekom's sustainability campaign "Big changes start small" was introduced in September 2009 and aims to get customers and the public to play their part by making small changes.
