We’re making our
customers fit for
the future.
Conserving natural resources
Today, urbanization and demographic change are already shaping
our lives and the world we live in. In the future, these megatrends are
destined to create major challenges: shortages of natural resources,
increasing environmental burdens, a regional shift in the center of
economic gravity and a growing demand for everything from health-
care and eldercare to mobility and security.
Siemens is better positioned than any other company to equip its cus-
tomers – and their customers – to meet and master these challenges.
As global consumption increases, reserves of oil, water and
iron are steadily diminishing. Our technologies are making the
extraction and use of these key natural resources more effi-
cient.
Eco-friendly technologies are needed to combat climate
change and the increasing pollution of our soil, air and water.
We comply with the strictest environmental regulations and
develop products and solutions that protect the environment
and help reduce harmful emissions.
As the world’s population grows and ages, the demand for
efficient healthcare is increasing. Our solutions optimize the
processes essential for premium, cost-effective diagnosis,
treatment and follow-up care.
In today’s globalized world, mobility is vital for economic
growth and prosperity. Our offerings are making transporta-
tion faster and safer and enabling companies to transport
goods more efficiently.
Security is a basic prerequisite for a globally networked econ-
omy. Our products and solutions maximize personal safety
and guarantee the free and secure flow of goods, data and
capital.
The center of economic gravity is shifting to the developing
world. Due to their rapid economic growth, countries like
Brazil, Russia, India and China are key future markets. Our
global presence enables us to serve customers optimally on
a local basis. As a good corporate citizen, we’re a respected
member of society in all the countries where we do business.
