Use the power of Siemens
To rank among the best, you have to excel – in everything you do. And that means
you need an outstanding team. At Siemens, we have extraordinarily dedicated em-
ployees. And we go to great lengths to continuously expand their knowledge while
promoting equal opportunity and nurturing cooperation among men and women
from different countries and cultural backgrounds. Our clear and unambiguous
commitment to integrity guides us in our ongoing pursuit of business success. Our
actions are governed by binding principles to which we expect our customers,
suppliers and employees to adhere.
Encourage lifelong learning and development
One of our greatest strengths is our outstanding workforce. Our employees’ expertise,
skills and dedication have made Siemens the company it is today. Building on this founda-
tion, we’re aiming to grow even further. And one means to achieving this strategic end
quickly and effectively is continuous learning, which not only enhances our people’s
knowhow but also directly fosters their pioneering spirit, initiative and willingness to
assume increasing responsibility. All around the world, we give our people at all levels
the chance to fully develop their potential.
Empower our diverse and engaged people worldwide
Siemens is a global powerhouse with a highly diverse workforce. People from some
 countries work at our ten largest Regional Companies alone. That’s why we take a
syste matic approach to diversity. Multifaceted teams of employees with a broad range of
skills, experience and qualifications promote the wealth of ideas at our Company and
strengthen our power of innovation. To find out how we can further boost workforce
motivation, we regularly conduct employee surveys worldwide in  languages. The
survey input is systematically applied to enhance our processes.
Stand for integrity
We’re committed to fair competition. In our efforts to succeed on the world’s markets,
we aim to comply with all applicable laws and regulations. Ethical business conduct is a
non-negotiable component of our corporate culture. We’ve formulated transparent and
binding principles of behavior and taken a clear and unmistakable position in the battle
against corruption. We also fulfill our responsibilities to society, the environment and our
employees. For us, occupational safety, health management and the conservation of
natural resources are all part of ethical business conduct.
