Learn how Siemens is addressing the world's most profound challenges by leveraging the convergence of digitalization and sustainability.
Overview
With its commitment to turn its operations carbon neutral by 2030, Siemens has set a clear signal that companies must take leadership in driving decarbonization. The goal is clear: all Siemens production facilities and buildings worldwide are to achieve a net zero-carbon footprint by 2030. This not only benefits humanity and the environment, but also comes with sustainable economic advantages for the company. Siemens has already reduced its CO2 footprint by over 50%.
Siemens’ commitment to sustainability is driven through its new framework called DEGREE, which stands for Decarbonization, Ethics, Governance, Resource efficiency, Equity and Employability. This new framework will apply to all activities across the company’s businesses worldwide. Sustainability is embedded in Siemens’ strategy, its technology, its portfolio and its operations.
Going forward, the company will continue to optimize and decarbonize its own operations. By signing the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), Siemens has extended its commitment to the entire value chain. The company believes it can create the greatest impact by supporting customers in their transition, by helping them to shift their focus to sustainable solutions, turning possible risks into competitive advantage through Siemens' technology and innovation.
