Siemens AG
We’re fully committed to promoting the principles of the UN Global Compact. For us, the support and fostering of human rights, employee rights, environmental protection and the uncompromising fight against corruption are both an opportunity and an obligation.
30 megatons of CO2 saved by connecting load centers to remote hydroelectric power plants. Starting in 2010, China will operate the world’s highest-capacity HVDC power transmission system at 800 kilovolts to transport 5,000 megawatts of electricity from hydroelectric plants in the Yunnan province over a distance of 1,400 kilometers to densely populated areas in Guangdong province.
600,000 kilowatt hours saved per year. Thanks to a combination of software and hardware optimization and improvements to building efficiency, the Siemens Beijing Data Center uses some 600,000 kilowatt hours less electricity than conventional computer centers of the same size.
The Siemens Environmental Portfolio
Power plants that generate electricity from the sun, factories and buildings that consume only small amounts of power, fast eco-friendly trains – many of our products are helping make the world a better to live both today and for our children.
Energy-efficient solutions and environmental technologies from our Environmental Portfolio typically have a three-fold advantage: they benefit our customers, who boost their own success through low energy costs and higher productivity; they benefit future generations, whose living and environmental conditions we’re preserving and helping improve; and they benefit our own company by enabling us to tap attractive markets and generate profitable growth.
A broad spectrum of environmental technologies and energy-efficient solutions
Siemens has a long tradition of supplying products and solutions for environmental and climate protection. Just one example: Werner von Siemens developed a technology to eliminate ash from factory emissions as early as 1873. Today, we’re bundling all the technologies that demonstrably help our customers protect the environment into the Siemens Environmental Portfolio. These technologies include:
- Products and systems such as combined cycle power plants, energy-saving lamps and intelligent building technologies, that are far more energy-efficient than comparable solutions,
- Renewable energy systems and components such as wind turbines and steam turbines for solar-thermal power plants, and
- Environmental technologies for cleaner water and air.
