One Siemens – Our path to
sustainable value creation
Framework for sustainable value creation
To increase our revenue, use our capital more efficiently and more profitably and optimize
our capital structure – these are our goals. Goals that we’ve further defined with the
clear metrics of our One Siemens framework. Taken together, these metrics comprise a
balanced system that provides the basis for generating a sustainable increase in value. We
have three concrete objectives. First, we want our revenue growth to outpace that of our
key competitors. Second, we want our growth to be capital efficient. That’s why we’ve
defined an ambitious target corridor for return on capital employed. At the Sector level, we
want to continuously achieve top margins compared to our competitors across industry
cycles. And third, we’ve set a target for our capital structure that will enable us to achieve
sustainable, strongly based profitability.
