The focal point of all activities is the benefit to the customer. The aim is to make Deutsche Telekom the most highly regarded service company in the industry. That means product offers and services tailored to the customers' needs, top network quality – and vastly improved efficiency.

Deutsche Telekom provides network access, communications services and value-added services with ever increasing bandwidth via the fixed and mobile networks. The Group supports personal and social networking using innovative products and services. Under the "T" umbrella of the Group’s company brand, the T-Home brand signifies "everything for the home", and T-Mobile indicates "everything for people on the move". The T-Systems brand includes the Group’s worldwide offerings for large companies.

The focus at T-Home is on the high-growth broadband market with top customer care and customer retention in voice and data communications. The fixed network paves the way for ever increasing bandwidths and interactive services – such as the IP-TV Entertain package. T-Mobile combines all mobile communications activities in the Group.

T-Mobile International AG is one of the world's leading mobile communications providers, with more than 128 million customers in Europe and the United States. T-Mobile wins over its customers with creative and innovative solutions like the Apple iPhone and the T-Mobile G1. Web’n’walk enables users to access Internet services at any time from their cell phone or notebook.

T-Systems is focused on business involving network-centric ICT solutions – with offers combining IT and telecommunications services. In collaboration with its Indo-American partner company Cognizant, T-Systems offers multinational companies the solutions they need from a single source.

At the beginning of 2008, Deutsche Telekom completed the organizational separation of solutions-oriented corporate customer business from its business with standard products. T-Systems is still responsible for supporting around 400 multinational corporate customers as well as key accounts from the public and health sectors. The largely telecommunications-oriented standard products and services for business customers are now marketed by T-Home.

Internationalization and sustainability

As an internationally oriented company, Deutsche Telekom AG is represented in about 50 countries around the globe. More than half of net revenue is generated outside Germany. The company has a workforce of over 220,000 employees worldwide.

The Group is committed to the principles of sustainability and bases its actions on economic as well as social and ecological criteria. Deutsche Telekom regularly ranks highly in international sustainability ratings, based on its environmental and social performance. For example, renewable energies have met the Group’s entire power requirements in Germany since January 2008.
