Siemens AG
today published the notice for its next ordinary Annual Shareholders’ Meeting
on February 9, 2023. The Managing Board of Siemens AG has decided, with
Supervisory Board approval, that the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting will again be
held as a virtual event. In addition, the Supervisory Board has proposed the election
of three new members. Approval from the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting for all of
the Supervisory Board’s election proposals would mean that, in the future, half
of the ten shareholder representatives on the Supervisory Board would be female.
As part of its sustainability commitments, the company will, for the first
time, offset the carbon emissions caused by sending nearly a million
invitations.
Siemens has recently been contacted by groups and individuals expressing their opinion on the Adani Carmichael coal mine project in Queensland, Australia.
The
historical Siemensstadt will be transformed into a new working and living
environment. With Siemensstadt2, Siemens is planning to implement the largest
development project in its history.
To whom it may concern,First of all, I do want to thank you for the countless
mails, social media engagements and personal meetings over this important matter.
The vast majority has been addressing their concerns clearly and with respect.
For me, this only underscored the importance and the need to diligently look
into the issue at hand. Especially, the messages I’ve received from Australian
people have moved me personally, when they described that their homes and their
country is burning and suffering from these terrible fires.Even though we do not have clear evidence that the wildfires
and this project are directly connected, I feel empathy for all those, who
spoke up and warned about worsening conditions. Siemens, as one of the first companies
to have pledged carbon neutrality by 2030, fundamentally shares the goal of
making fossil fuels redundant to our economies over time.

Singapore and Siemens aim to join forces in a drive to make the Southeast Asian city-state a "smart nation." As a result, Singapore will be the first country in the world to pilote MindSphere – Siemens' open, cloud-based operating system for the Internet of Things – to digitalize its infrastructure as much as possible. Siemens is supporting this master plan by setting up a digitalization hub. The hub was inaugurated on July 11, 2017 in parallel events in Singapore and at Siemens' headquarters in Munich: Armin Bruck, CEO of Siemens Singapore, opened the hub in Singapore while Singapore's Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and Joe Kaeser, President and CEO of Siemens AG, signed a symbolic plaque in Munich. At the Digitalization Hub, Siemens will develop and offer new digital applications.
