Siemens AG

employees and their families as well as among refugees from the war zone, having

Hands organization, the company and Siemens Healthineers each donated an initial
emergency €1 million to the German Red Cross. The two Siemens companies
have promised to match every euro received from employee donations, meaning the
sum raised is now more than €9 million.
The
donations are being made available to a variety of organizations that are using
this money to finance selected humanitarian relief measures ranging from
supplying food and medicine to providing clothing and temporary refugee
accommodations for Siemens employees and their families and for all Ukrainian
people in need.
Siemens has
also developed two new software platforms that Siemens employees can use to
provide direct help – in the form of in-kind donations and accommodations – to
their Ukrainian colleagues. For in-kind donations, the current need for food,
medicine, clothing and other everyday essentials is being coordinated with
those responsible in Ukraine and is displayed on a webpage on the Siemens intranet.
The donations are then collected at three central locations in Germany and
Austria and sent to the affected employees in Ukraine.
On an
additional intranet page, Siemens employees worldwide can offer their vacant apartments
or rooms to provide accommodations for impacted colleagues and their family
members. For Ukrainian refugees in Poland, Siemens is also converting part of
its location in Warsaw into a refugee shelter for around 150 people.
In addition,
the Siemens businesses will provide key technical solutions with the value of
€3 million as in-kind contributions to maintain or rebuild civil
infrastructure.
