Siemens is driving forward its 2030 sustainability targets and made strong, measurable progress on all 14 DEGREE targets in 2025. For the second year in a row, the products sold enabled more CO₂ savings over their life cycle than Siemens itself causes. At the same time, Siemens is taking social responsibility: over one million people in the Siemens ecosystem are already taking advantage of the training opportunities, and the annual learning hours of employees continue to increase.

"More than 90 percent of our business contributes to our customers achieving a positive sustainability impact in our three key impact areas," says Eva Riesenhuber, Global Head of Sustainability. "Our Sustainability Report 2025 provides measurable evidence that our impact on social infrastructure goes far beyond our customers and our own company and even reaches our planet and our society."

Decarbonization
Siemens is accelerating the transformation to a low-carbon economy with software and hardware solutions for energy efficiency, renewable energies and electrification. Industrial AI enables savings of up to 30 percent in energy consumption. Products from the past three fiscal years are expected to avoid 694 million tons of CO₂ over their life cycle. Siemens itself has reduced its operating emissions by 66 percent since 2019.

Resource efficiency
With Robust Eco Design, Siemens already covers 67% of its relevant portfolio. The implementation rate for nature conservation has been increased to 55% and the amount of waste sent to landfill has been significantly reduced - the DEGREE interim target for 2025 has already been exceeded.

People & Society
Siemens continues to invest in training, diversity and well-being. Employees completed an average of 36.6 learning hours in 2025, with a focus on AI and machine learning. More than one million people were also trained externally in sustainability and digitalization.

Ethics & Governance
Siemens strengthens transparency, cyber security and data protection. Zero Trust principles now cover 62 percent of relevant applications. Over half of taxonomy-compliant sales meet EU climate and circular economy requirements.

For the first time, the report was prepared in accordance with the CSRD and published as an audited part of the management report - an important step towards standardized, measurable sustainability management throughout the company.
