Sustainability

Introduction 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.

Business to society 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.
