Strengthening our equity culture
A company owes its existence to the fact that its employees
identify with it, trust it and commit themselves to its
positive development. We’re proud that around 140,000
of our employees are today expressing these feelings
by owning Siemens shares. We intend to increase this
fi gure by at least 50%. Therefore, we want employees
below the management level to participate in their
Com pany’s success on an annual basis. Because the more
our people trust their own Company, the more personal
commitment they will feel and the greater each individual’s
sense of belonging and sense of responsibility will be.
This is the culture we’re striving to create at Siemens –
a culture that will be decisive for our Company’s long-
term success.
