Siemens strengthens sustainability performance: Best EU Taxonomy result since start of reporting
Siemens Mobility
continues to expand its leadership in sustainability and has achieved a top
rating in the EU Taxonomy. In its results for fiscal year 2025, the company
reports 87 percent of its revenue as Taxonomy‑aligned – the highest figure
since the start of reporting. This confirms that the majority of Siemens
Mobility’s business activities already fully meet the EU’s stringent
environmental and social criteria and demonstrably contribute to the
sustainable transformation of mobility. In addition, the company once again
reaches 100 percent Taxonomy eligibility, demonstrating that its entire
technology portfolio – from hardware to software and service offerings – can
contribute to the sustainable transformation of industry and society.
Based on this
foundation, Siemens Mobility reduces its own and the customers environmental
footprint worldwide – including in the areas of circular economy, sustainable
water management, biodiversity protection, pollution prevention, and climate
change adaptation.
“The EU Taxonomy is
becoming increasingly relevant for our customers, financial actors, and public authorities.
Our externally audited Taxonomy alignment rate of 87 percent underscores our
leadership and shows that we are systematically embedding sustainability in our
business – from product development and manufacturing to the supply chain,”
says Andreas Mehlhorn, Head of Sustainability at Siemens Mobility.
High Taxonomy performance through sustainability embedded
in the business – beyond minimum requirements
Siemens Mobility
systematically integrates sustainability requirements into product development
through its Robust Eco‑Design methodology. Criteria such as resource and energy
efficiency, the substitution of critical substances, as well as circularity,
are firmly embedded in the development processes. In parallel, the company is
actively driving the use of green materials – particularly steel and aluminum –
in production. In 2025, around one fifth of the steel volume delivered to
Siemens Mobility came from the CO₂‑reduced greentec steel edition produced by
steel and technology group voestalpine. Additionally, in 2025, Siemens Mobility
established a circular‑economy ecosystem together with operators, recycling
companies, suppliers, and raw‑material providers to enable the reuse of critical
materials and technologies at the end of their lifecycle. This consistent
sustainability management – from product design to manufacturing and end‑of‑life
treatment of rolling stock and infrastructure – goes significantly beyond the
minimum requirements set by regulators and the industry, underscoring Siemens
Mobility’s leading sustainability performance.
The EU Taxonomy is a comprehensive
and transparent classification system for sustainable economic activities introduced
by the European Union. The Taxonomy is employed in two steps: First, a
suitability assessment (Taxonomy eligibility) is carried out to match company
activities with the economic activities covered by the Taxonomy. This is
followed by a compliance assessment (Taxonomy alignment) of environmental and
social criteria for the activities concerned.
For investors, the EU
Taxonomy provides an additional basis to assess Siemens Mobility’s
sustainability performance in comparison to other companies. Based on the
externally audited indicators, capital can be channeled toward activities that
contribute to the EU’s environmental objectives. At the same time, customers
gain greater transparency regarding the extent to which Siemens Mobility’s
products and solutions meet the EU’s requirements for sustainable economic activities.
