Protecting the environment
and resources.
Environmental sustainability

Environmental protection will continue to grow in importance

as a result of progressive urbanization and global population

growth. These global mega-trends make the careful and sus-

tainable handling of natural resources a central challenge.

We are convinced that every individual - and especially

every company - has an ecological responsibility. At Siemens

Automation and Drives, we stand by this conviction. Our high

environmental protection goals are part of our strict environ-

mental management. We investigate the possible effects of our

products and systems on the environment right back at the de-

velopment stage. We concern ourselves, for example, with the

question of how to reduce power consumption in plant

operation - and we offer appropriate solutions, such as our

energy-saving motors that cut power consumption in industrial

manufacturing by up to 40% thanks to their high efficiency

levels.

Our products and systems comply with the EC Directive

RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances). All the relevant

Siemens AG sites are, of course, certified in accordance with

DIN EN ISO 14001.

Our commitment goes well beyond compliance with the rele-

vant directives and legislation: we are an active driving force

behind environmental protection, through further develop-

ment of environmental management systems, for example,

and we are involved in professional associations such as the

German Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers Association

(ZVEI).
