Taking responsibility - together with BVB and beyond
Rheinmetall and BVB are committed to operational readiness and peak performance. On the pitch, Dortmund is known for giving its all. Right now, in a phase of dramatic upheaval in security policy, Rheinmetall is called upon to make great efforts and expand capacities to ensure the protection of people and societies. We are committed to security, democracy, and society within the partnership framework.

Our success as a company and as a leading European club is closely linked to the well-being of the community in which we live. Our engagement also includes standing up for our free democratic basic order.
We actively promote dialog with the media, business and society to fulfill our partnership with Borussia Dortmund. Our goal is always to acknowledge our responsibility for a strong and resilient community.

How do I stay fit when work gets stressful? What should I eat when the kebab shop calls – yet my body deserves better? And how do I turn my brain from a two-lane road into a five-lane highway? 80 apprentices at Rheinmetall in Kassel found the answers at the 2025 Health Day – with expert tips on fitness, nutrition, and mental strength. Special guests: nutritionists and the BVB! Now the “Azubitag” format is going on tour – ten locations, full-on health vibes, and loads of fun!
Rheinmetall and BVB are working together to support better health. The partnership between BVB and Rheinmetall has been in place for over a year now. It goes far beyond pure sports sponsorship: it encompasses social engagement, a joint commitment to participation and fairness, and health promotion. After a year, Caroline-Ann Schmitz, Vice President Corporate Health Solutions at Rheinmetall, and Christian Diercks, Managing Director of the BVB Evonik Football Academy, take stock of the situation.

Together with BVB, we are showing our appreciation for people who are particularly committed to our society. With targeted campaigns, we are raising awareness and recognition for their efforts.
Did you know? There are 10 million veterans in Germany. These are women and men who currently serve in the German Armed Forces or have honorably retired from service. We believe they deserve recognition and respect, not only on commemorative days, but 365 days a year.
We are committed to fairness
Participation means that every individual has an equal right to belong. This applies to a company, to a team and to society as a whole. In reality, however, not everyone has the same opportunities to participate. Rheinmetall and BVB are committed to breaking down barriers.
Once a year, managers from Rheinmetall's German sites meet to exchange best practices and identify areas for action. This year's Forum for Fairness and Participation was attended for the first time by external experts, including representatives from BVB. They provided insights into how participation works in their companies and in sport.
We support health
Self-care, patience, and perseverance are crucial (not only) for women in professional life as well as in sports. That is the message of the keynote of Svenja Schlenker, Head of Girls and Women's Football at BVB, on International Women's Health.

Creating opportunities
Rheinmetall, Borussia Dortmund, and the Bundeswehr Career Development Service jointly organized a careers day for female BVB players and Bundeswehr soldiers. This event is an exceptional opportunity for further training and targeted career planning.

Enabling participation
The cornerstone of our community is solidarity. The partners promote this by jointly enabling social participation. With Blau-Gelbes Kreuz e.V., BVB and Rheinmetall have invited Ukrainian children to football camps twice.
We promote top-class sports
By supporting BVB, Rheinmetall promotes top athletic performance made in North Rhine-Westphalia. We are not only a “Champion Partner” of the BVB men's team, but also a “Premium Partner” of the Borussia Dortmund women's team. And they are on their way to the top – we are keeping our fingers crossed for them, of course!
We are fans

Football without fans is like swimming on dry land.
This is why we like to give Rheinmetall employees the opportunity to experience BVB matches live in the stadium. Rheinmetall has around 70 sites across Germany with many fans rooting for Borussia.
On the final match day of the 2024/2025 season, colleagues from Rheinmetall Landsysteme Kiel visited SIGNAL IDUNA PARK for BVB's home game against Holstein Kiel. Employees from Rheinmetall Bremen were guests in January for the match against Werder. Both groups visibly enjoyed the day, which included an exclusive tour of the stadium as well as practice and coaching sessions with the BVB Evonik Football Academy.
