Our sustainability goals for 2025:
- Decarbonization: By the end of fiscal 2024, we achieved our goal of a 60% reduction in CO2 emissions since 2019—one year earlier than targeted. This progress reflects our commitment to our DEGREE sustainability framework and sets a strong foundation for our 2030 ambition of a 90% reduction.
Siemens is also working with 67,500 suppliers to achieve a 20% reduction in Scope 3 emissions, supported by tools like the SiGREEN software. In fiscal year 2024, our initiatives, including technologies like digital twins and AI, have already helped avoid 173 million tons of CO2 emissions, contributing to a cumulative target of over 1,000 million tons by 2030. - Resource Efficiency: We aim for 100% of our relevant hardware, software, and service portfolios to meet robust eco-design standards by 2030. Additionally, we are dedicated to achieving zero waste to landfill, with a strong focus on circularity. Currently, 97% of our locations have implemented water strategies, and we are on track to have 100% of our relevant sites participate in biodiversity conservation programs by 2030.
- Equity and Employability: Work well-being is a key factor for business success today and it will be even more important in the future. Therefore, we aim to maintain a Work Well-being Score above 80. We have successfully improved the LTIFR by 19% since 2020, extended Employee Assistance Program (EAP) coverage to 99%, and surpassed its “25 by 25” learning goal with €442 million invested in education and lifelong learning initiatives that engaged over 261,000 employees.
