This paper deals with the question if the tendency towards ecological sustainability can be identified in the business management, especially in the leadership of the DAX30 companies. Are there companies which are characterized by a »green leadership«? This study analyzes all DAX30 companies over a period of eleven years to prove if those companies communicate their ecological engagement transparently. The results show first, that the importance of a »green leadership« becomes more and more important over the past years and second, that the awareness for ecological sustainability can be seen in the company’s external communication.
