As part of Siemens’ Executive Relationship Program, our
 most important customers are personally supported by
members of Siemens’ Managing Board. To determine if this
program is actually meeting our customers’ expectations, we
conduct annual surveys. For us, the results of these surveys
are crucial since we want to strengthen our customers’ trust –
everywhere in the world.
To gear our activities even more closely to the needs of our
customers and markets worldwide, we’re breaking new ground
with innovative projects like our new urban sustainability
centers. These centers provide a common platform where our
experts can work together with scientists, urban planners and
city officials to develop the infrastructure solutions of tomor-
row. Our first sustainability center, the Crystal, opened its
doors in London in . Two more centers – one in Shanghai
and another in New York – are set to follow.
A strong worldwide presence coupled with the power of a
global technology company – that’s what’s made us successful
and the strong local partner that we are today – around the
world and around the clock.
