Environmental sustainability

Protecting and preserving the natural environment is critical to the future of humanity. Siemens was the first global industrial company to commit to 100% carbon neutrality by 2030, achieving a 54% emissions reduction by 2020.

In addition, we took our ESG commitment to the next level by establishing our DEGREE framework for sustainability. This framework outlines our priorities and goals across six areas of social and environmental impact.

Diversity, equity and inclusion programs

Cultivating a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion is critical to our mission at Siemens.

Charitable donations and fundraising

Siemens understands the importance of giving back to those in need. Through the Siemens Caring Hands association, over €24 million has been donated over the past three years for disaster relief efforts.

In addition, Siemens continues to donate to other causes, including €12 million for aid projects in Ukraine and €15.2 million for COVID-19 relief efforts.

Volunteerism

At Siemens, we know volunteer work is incredibly valuable and necessary to support global and local communities. Because of this, Siemens employees are encouraged and enabled to perform volunteer work twice per week.

This allows our employees to contribute approximately 10,000 hours of volunteer work every year.
