Commited to sustainable development

We want Siemens Gamesa to be a global force for sustainable development, and that all our actions reflect this. However, there are many factors in the world today that represent enormous potential threats to sustainability, and dramatically affect businesses such as ours.

Climate change, water scarcity, geopolitical conflicts, resource depletion, and economic inequality – these must all be acknowledged as the challenges they are, and then they must be met and overcome.

At Siemens Gamesa we believe that sustainable development and commercial success go hand in hand. Sustainability excellence is a badge of honor, and a mark of operational and management quality. For us, this means being a company that responds to evolving market trends. It means building a team of engaged, productive and valued employees. Above all, it means being a company that does not just respond to social progress, but aligns with and helps to lead it.

We are in the sustainability business, with almost 90 GW of wind power capacity around the world, that has helped our customers reduce CO₂ emissions by more than 233 million tons a year. Thus contributing to a reduction in greenhouse gases and mitigating their harmful effects.

We support the world’s climate protection goals, and have joined in the global movement to de-carbonize economies. We have committed to becoming a carbon neutral company by 2025, and to that end are switching our operations from emission-intensive conventional power generation sources to renewable energy-based electricity source.
