1) The data for 2025 constitutes a forecast as of January 2026.
- Quality:
- The aim for 2026 is to stabilize punctuality. Achieving the punctuality targets remains a major challenge due to the further planned increase in the construction volume and the existing capacity and obsolescence problems in the infrastructure. For this reason, quality measures will be further advanced and intensified, particularly with regard to structurally sustainable improvements.
- Social:
- The first employee survey since the sale of DB Schenker will take place in 2026. We anticipate employee satisfaction to be slightly lower than in the most recent survey in 2024 (including DB Schenker), but slightly higher than before the Covid-19 pandemic (DB Group in Germany: 3.6). The results of the culture barometer in 2025 support this expectation.
- Environment:
- We expect our absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions to decrease further compared to 2019. This is to be achieved by further increasing the share of renewable energies in the DB traction current mix in Germany and in the traction current mix of our companies in other European countries, by increasing the share of HVO biofuel in our total diesel consumption and by continuously implementing efficiency measures in operations.
- A slight increase in the share of renewable energies is expected in 2026.
- We will continue the noise remediation of lines as scheduled in 2026.
