- Declared intermediate target for CO2 reduction 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 CO2 compared 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.

- Grid edge estimated to be crucial to tackle the energy transition
- Assessment of grid edge readiness and need for 36 countries worldwide
- Results provide valuable insights for governments and industries alike
In the effort to mitigate climate change, global energy markets are changing for good. Energy generation is increasingly relying on renewables, and formerly passive consumers are becoming active prosumers. For this energy turnaround to succeed, the grid edge – the interface between energy supply and energy demand – is more important than ever. Grid edge technologies are crucial to support the energy transformation. They encompass a wide range of technologies, from electric vehicles to heat pumps, solar panels, and smart meters to apps which allow remote control of appliances.
- Growing demand for remote access via public 5G networks for remote maintenance

- Sale for price of €2.025 billion
- Another step in executing Vision 2020+ strategy for becoming a focused technology company
- New ownership structure offers Flender optimal growth and development opportunities
- Long-term and reliable commitments agreed upon for Flender’s employees and German locations
The Managing Board and Supervisory Board of Siemens AG have approved the sale of Flender GmbH – a world-leading supplier of mechanical and electrical drive systems – to Carlyle. The contracting parties signed a corresponding agreement today. The price is €2.025 billion (enterprise value). Siemens recently gave its energy business independence through a public listing. By selling Flender, the company is now promptly taking another important step in the rigorous execution of its Vision 2020+ strategy for enabling Siemens to become a focused technology company. Carlyle’s plans – following Flender’s successful reorientation – are to further accelerate its growth and fully develop its strengths through more independence and greater leeway for decisions. The sale also makes it possible to forgo the originally planned spin-off and public listing and thus offers a faster track to clarity for a successful future of Flender. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2021 and is subject to foreign-investment and antitrust approvals.
