Practicing sustainability – in the interest of future generations
Our sustainability initiatives are an essential aspect of successfully implementing Siemens Vision 2020 strategy. Our understanding of sustainability is based on our company values – responsible, excellent, innovative. At Siemens, we define sustainable development as the means to achieve profitable and long-term growth. In doing so, we externally align ourselves with the goals of the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development while, internally, striving to balance people, environment and profit.
The 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are something very real to us and absolutely present in our day-to-day business. Find out where we are putting the SGDs into practice – and get to know worldwide proof of this in our film. As Joe Kaeser says, "I strongly believe that every company should serve society and if it doesn't it should not exist."
What is our contribution to a better quality of life?
We take our responsibility towards the community very seriously and look for a variety of ways to measure the role we play and the benefit we create. Business to Society... ... is about generating lasting value for the societies in which we operate. It’s not just about investing but measuring the economic, societal and environmental impact of that investment. This helps us to understand the influence we have in a country: in terms of economic growth, skills development and the creation of local jobs; in relation to innovation, environmental protection and the quality of life as a whole.
