MAHLE wins Gold for sustainability as a credible strategy

The future of the automotive industry lies in climate-neutral mobility. With this conviction, technology group MAHLE demonstrates how social responsibility and brand management can successfully go hand in hand. At the German Brand Awards 2025, MAHLE received a Gold distinction in the category Branded CSR Activities – Environmental.

Around the world, one in two vehicles contains MAHLE components. Reflecting this scale, the company – founded in Stuttgart in 1920 – has launched the programme “MAHLE drives sustainability forward successfully”, combining ecological, social and economic dimensions. In its CSR model, the group positions sustainability as a guarantee for the future. The jury praised measures such as the integration of low-emission technologies along the entire value chain and their clear, transparent communication.

“This project is an impressive example of how sustainability can be successfully integrated into brand identity.”
