Decarbonization
Siemens is making accelerated efforts to reduce CO2 emissions throughout the entire value chain. With our innovative initiatives such as the "Carbon Web Assessment, Green Digital Twin, and SIGREEN2", we are taking concrete steps towards a more sustainable future.
Starting from the procurement phase, we implement governance upstream and downstream to minimize negative impacts on the environment and society. By employing sustainable resins, we actively work to reduce CO2 emissions and ensure a greener manufacturing process.
At our production sites, we go beyond mere concepts and implement sustainable practices. Through various actions such as renewable energy sourcing, energy consumption optimization and continuous waste reduction, we actively contribute to the development of more sustainable operations.
One major milestone on our path towards decarbonization is the issuance of the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for SINAMICS drives. This document provides complete transparency regarding the environmental footprint of our converters.
It showcases key environmental performance indicators, including the overall impact of the product on climate change throughout all its lifecycle phases. Additionally, you can find valuable information on end-of-life product results such as recyclability percentage and minimum disposal rates.
Siemens is dedicated to reducing the carbon footprint of our products, and the EPD data plays a crucial role in these efforts. We believe that transparency and information are key to driving sustainability forward.
To further support our commitment, we offer value-added services such as energy audits, retrofit for drive systems, energy performance contracting and repair services, that help our customers continuously reduce carbon emissions.

Circularity
The concept of the circular economy is gaining significant importance in the industrial sector, and Siemens Customer Services has been actively engaged in this field for several years. With stricter environmental regulations coming into play, the shift from a linear economy to a circular one has become imperative to ensure sustainability. Embracing circularity not only aids in the fight against climate change but also ensures the availability of essential raw materials, thereby enhancing supply chain security. Furthermore, adopting circular practices assists industries in achieving their sustainability goals.
Unlock the full potential of drive systems circularity with three ways of repair:
- Through repairs, the functionality of your defective product is restored without any further preventive measures.
- By refurbishing your defective products, their previous functionality is recovered and additional preventive measures are taken to improve their condition.
- With remanufacturing you get the most out of your product: Disassembling your used product, restoring and testing its components, as well as reassembling them into a product that is as new. This way, remanufacturing prolongs the product lifetime and reduces the downtimes of your machines, all while contributing to a sustainable future.
