The Siemens Campus in Erlangen, the company’ s largest office location worldwide, also provides a habitat for bees, birds, bats, butterflies, and other wildlife
Eva explains that Siemens operates at the“ backbone of economies and societal infrastructure”, including buildings, transport systems, industrial automation and electrification.
“ By 2050 we will have close to 10 billion people on this planet,” Eva says.“ If we want to have peace and prosperity, we need to find ways for our societal infrastructure to be decarbonised and circular. Right now, we’ re using 1.7 planets a year. That is not a suitable model – solving this is absolutely essential. Take the energy transition: around 1,700 GW of renewable energy projects in Europe alone are waiting to be connected to the grid, showing that generating clean power alone is not enough. Permitting, load management, energy assets cannot be optimised in silos. This is about system change: modern infrastructure, electrification, circularity and AI working together.”
Linking sustainability to longterm business performance Climate risks, resource scarcity and infrastructure constraints are already affecting markets. As the alignment between sustainability and financial performance is becoming increasingly clear, Siemens is treating sustainability as a strategic growth driver alongside digitalisation, AI and automation.
