Sustainability

Going home safe and well is a fundamental human right, not an aspiration.

Empowered people with diverse backgrounds will foster a generation of more and different ideas.

We have a duty to our environment, to minimise our impacts and play our part in ensuring that it is handed to the next generation unharmed and hopefully enhanced by our actions.

Through innovation we consistantly find better, safer and more efficient products and methods of working

Goal 1 calls for an end to poverty in all its manifestations, including extreme poverty. All people everywhere, including the poorest and most vulnerable, should enjoy a basic standard of living.

Goal 2 seeks sustainable solutions to end hunger in all its forms by 2030 and to achieve food security. Achieving this goal will require better access to food and the promotion of sustainable agriculture.

Goal 3 aims to ensure health and well-being for all at every stage of life. The goal is to improve reproductive, maternal and child health, ensure universal access to safe, affordable, effective medicines and vaccines.

Goal 5 aims to empower women and girls to reach their full potential, which requires eliminating all forms of discrimination and violence against them. It seeks to ensure decision-making power in public and private life.

Goal 6 goes beyond drinking water, sanitation and hygiene to also address the quality and sustainability of water resources, which are critical to the survival of people and the planet.

Goal 7 seeks to promote broader energy access and increased use of renewable energy, including through enhanced international cooperation and expanded infrastructure and technology for clean energy.

Globally, Siemens employs 385,000 people and has enabled 4.3 million jobs, of which 2.2 million jobs are in developing countries.

Goal 9 addresses three important aspects of sustainable development: It aims to build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation.

Goal 10 calls for reducing inequalities in income as well as those based on sex, age, disability, class, ethnicity, religion and opportunity – both within and among countries.

Goal 11 aims to renew and plan cities in a way that fosters community cohesion and personal security while stimulating innovation and employment. It aims to make cities safe, resilient and sustainable.

Goal 12 encourages more sustainable consumption and production patterns through various measures, including specific policies and international agreements on the management of materials that are toxic to the environment.

Goal 13 calls for urgent action not only to combat climate change and its impacts, but also to build resilience in responding to climate-related hazards and natural disasters.

Goal 14 seeks to promote the conservation and sustainable use of marine and coastal ecosystems, prevent marine pollution and increase the sustainable use of marine resources.

Goal 15 aims to protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation as well as halt biodiversity loss.

Goal 16 envisages peaceful and inclusive societies based on respect for human rights, the rule of law, good governance at all levels, and transparent, effective and accountable institutions.

Goal 17 seeks to build the foundation for all other goals. Achieving the SDG targets of the UN's 2030 Agenda requires enhanced global partnerships that bring together governments, private sector and many other actors.
