Partnerships
Siemens enters into environmental partnerships with its suppliers. In recent years, the focus of environmental protection has increased towards product performance. The aim is the systematic improvement of a product's environmental aspects and protection of natural resources across all life-cycle phases. For this reason, we need information about environmental aspects (e.g. product ingredients, recycling possibilities) from our suppliers too. This information is also necessary to consider technology alternatives for our products with the highest possible ecological and economic benefits for our customers.
Brochure for suppliers
Besides our internal efforts, the integration of our suppliers is an essential part of our environmental protection endeavors.
Assessment of product ingredients
In order to ascertain the ecological effects of our products across all life-cycles, we have to know the material composition of our products.
To minimize these efforts as much as possible, we developed a method and an easy-to-use software tool where we ask our suppliers to transmit data about the composition of their products.
