Siemens once again delivered an outstanding
performance in fiscal 2022 (as of September 30, 2022). Based on strong growth momentum, all
four industrial businesses recorded increases in order intake and revenue. In
some cases, these increases were significant. Despite a continuing complex macroeconomic
environment influenced, among other things, by economic sanctions on Russia,
high inflation and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, Siemens grew again in
all key markets. In addition, major interruptions in fiscal 2022 could be
avoided despite supply chain risks in the areas of electronic components, raw
materials and logistics.
At its
meeting today, the Supervisory Board of Siemens AG renewed the appointment of
Managing Board Member Judith Wiese (51). The term of the Chief People &
Sustainability Officer and Labor Director will run a further five years until
September 30, 2028.
“We
recognize the substantial contribution that Judith Wiese has made since she
joined Siemens two years ago. Judith holds a key role in ensuring that Siemens
can attract and retain the best people and to create an environment in which
they can thrive. At the same time, she has been at the heart of ramping up our
sustainability activities as a key pillar of business strategy,” said Jim
Hagemann Snabe, Chairman of the Siemens Supervisory Board. “Judith’s open
leadership style is a catalyst for the transformation of Siemens.”

according to GSI sustainability criteria

hotel sustainability.
