is also reflected in ambitious new
Financial Framework targets, and it includes a comprehensive sustainability agenda.
- Most
of the inventors are from Germany, the others come from the U.S., Russia, China, the UK, Spain,
Italy and Romania
- Thirty-one
inventions per day in fiscal 2019
Siemens has honored 23 particularly resourceful researchers as Inventors of the Year 2019. Together, these scientists are responsible for some 1,450 inventions and 1,500 individual patents. Most of the inventors are from Germany, the U.S., Russia, China, the UK, Spain, Italy and Romania. Their inventions cover the whole spectrum of Siemens. They range from 3D animation for early detection of breast cancer to a new solution for electrifying old rail lines without the need for modifications to bridges and tunnels and continue all the way to a postcard-sized module for industrial controllers that uses artificial intelligence and is thus capable of revolutionizing automation in factories.
Global
warming, energy dependency and rising costs are among the most urgent problems
of our time. Hydrogen can play a key role in Germany’s energy future. The
community of Wunsiedel in Upper Franconia is showing how that is possible. In
Wunsiedel, one of Germany’s largest green hydrogen generation plants has now
been commissioned with the help of Siemens technology.
- Managing Board and Supervisory Board approve change as of January 1, 2015
- Current CEO Johannes Milde to continue serving in advisory capacity for some time to come
Siemens' Building Technologies Division will have a new CEO on January 1, 2015. Matthias Rebellius (49) is succeeding Johannes Milde (61), who is resigning as Division CEO at the end of this year. Milde will continue to support the company for some time to come.
- Innovation
campus for attracting high-tech companies
- Hydrogen
research laboratory with Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft
- Investments
to total around €30 million, roughly 100 new jobs
Siemens, the
Free State of Saxony and the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft signed a memorandum of
understanding today in Görlitz, Germany, to strengthen this location over the
long term and support the structural transformation of Germany’s Lusatia region.
Plans call for establishing an innovation campus and a startup accelerator on the
site of Siemens’ plant in Görlitz. The aim is to encourage other technology and
industrial companies as well as startups and research institutes to establish
operations in this region. The focus of activity will be on digitalization,
automation, energy technology and innovative material and production
technologies.
- Declared intermediate target for CO2reduction achieved
- Sustainability index embedded into Managing Board compensation system
- Innovative digital ESG tool provides basis for comprehensive review of
sustainability risks in customers’ business operations
- Top ratings in Dow Jones Sustainability Index, in particular for innovation,
environment and cybersecurity
Siemens has
achieved its declared intermediate target for carbon reduction. The company has reduced the carbon footprint
of its own value chain by more than half (54%) since 2014. Siemens has thus exceeded
– by four percentage points – its goal of halving its global carbon
dioxide (CO2) emissions by
2020. Including Siemens Energy, the company has reduced its carbon emissions by
around 1.2 million tons of CO2compared to its 2014 levels. Four
levers are being used to reduce carbon emissions: expanding the energy
efficiency program, using distributed energy systems, purchasing green power, and
reducing emissions in the vehicle fleet. Siemens intends to achieve climate
neutrality in its business operations by 2030. The company has recently published these details and other up-to-date information
on sustainability.
- Donation will be used by Canadian City of
Toronto long-term care home to implement 2,000 Enlighted IoT sensors that will
aid in occupancy management, asset tracking and sanitization
- Project is part of the COVID-19
relief fund set up by the Siemens Caring Hands e.V. charity
The Siemens
Caring Hands e.V. charity is making a long-term contribution to fighting the
pandemic and is supporting the City of Toronto in Canada with a donation of approximately
$400,000 (€295,000) to benefit Cummer Lodge. Long-term care residents have been
disproportionately impacted by COVID-19 and despite very high levels of
vaccination among residents and visitors (the City of Toronto has a mandatory
vaccination policy in place for staff), the safety of all these groups remains
a top priority. Cummer Lodge is the first Canadian recipient of the
international fund led by Siemens Caring Hands e.V.
- Bavarian Minister-President Dr. Markus Söder kicks off H2lighthouse project for energy transition in Germany
- With 8.75 megawatts of electrical power, it will be one of Germany’s
largest carbon-free hydrogen generation plants
- Siemens Financial Services, Rießner Gase GmbH and SWW Wunsiedel GmbH
are investors in Wunsiedel’s WUN H2 operating company
- Plant to go into operation in
summer 2022 with an annual production of up to 1,350 tons of hydrogen and CO2savings of up to 13,500 tons
- WUN H2 to supply Northern Bavaria, Thuringia and neighboring part of
Czech Republic with hydrogen
Kickoff
for one of the largest green hydrogen projects in Germany: The official
groundbreaking ceremony in Wunsiedel marked the start of construction of a
hydrogen generation plant with a capacity of 8.75 megawatts. The facility will
produce up to 1,350 tons of hydrogen per year using only renewable energy, for
example from solar or wind power. Using the generated hydrogen in
transportation and industry allows for CO2savings of up to 13,500
annually.
- Joint development of Munich Airport's digital future
- Siemens is using its IoT operating system MindSphere as a platform for new digital applications
Siemens and Munich Airport have forged a strategic partnership for digitalization in order to work on the airport's digital future together with further partners. Over the coming years, the partners want to use data analytics, Internet of Things (IoT) technologies and artificial intelligence to improve, for instance, the energy efficiency of airport buildings and the logistics for the baggage handling system. Plans also call for using these capabilities to make the time that passengers spend at the facility more pleasant. To meet these goals, Siemens is becoming a developmental partner for LabCampus, the major project for the airport's digital future. For the digital technologies, Siemens is using MindSphere, its open, cloud-based operating system for the Internet of Things.
