To take up its social responsibility in every area of sport – that goal has come increasingly into focus at Deutsche Telekom in recent times. This can also be seen is in the Group's commitment to disabled sports.

Deutsche Telekom has been involved in disabled sports since October 2006., when the Group entered into a partnership with Germany's National Paralympic Committee (DBS).
Telekom's commitment focuses on supporting Team Germany Paralympics. With its commitment, Telekom is helping to secure and develop disabled sports in Germany. Telekom's central concern is to continuously improve the framework conditions in Germany for the sport of people with disabilities and to anchor the sport of people with disabilities in society on an equal footing. Supporting top-level sport and its Paralympic athletes plays a key role in this. This support makes a lasting contribution to raising public awareness in dealing with people with disabilities and their daily challenges.
"We see the athletes as role models whom we are happy to support in the long term," says Stephan Althoff, Head of Corporate Sponsoring at Deutsche Telekom. "With the help of this support, disabled sports can continue to develop.
