Investing in all our futures.

Siemens is committed to protecting the earth’s natural resources. We invest some $2.4 billion a year in the development of eco-friendly technology, and hold roughly 30,000 patents. Nearly half of our entire patent portfolio is in the environmental field.

Our solutions to the world’s toughest questions include everything from the world’s leading energy saving motors and the world’s most efficient gas turbine, to the world’s first and brightest white low-energy light emitting diode (LED).

We’re the global market leader in the offshore wind farm energy sector, and we’re developing processes to capture and securely store the CO2 emitted by fossil fuel power generation.

World-class performance, minimum environmental impact.

Our domestic appliances are designed with minimum impact to the environment in mind. Approximately 98% of all the components in Siemens appliances are recyclable, and where possible, we continually strive to reduce our carbon footprint.

Siemens A+++ rated fridge freezers are 60% more energy efficient than A-rated products, while our dishwashers are so efficient that you can save up to 39 litres of water, per load, when compared to washing by hand. The world’s most energy efficient tumble dryer is a Siemens, and if everyone living in the UK switched their current washing machine to an A-rated Siemens appliance, we would save enough CO2 to fill more than half a million olympic-sized swimming pools!

In buying a Siemens product, you can expect outstanding, world-class performance as well as a clear conscience.

Innovation Prize for Climate and Environment, 2010

We are proud recipients of the first Innovation Prize, jointly presented by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment and the Federation of German Industries (BDI), for our Zeolith® drying system for dishwashers.

Home appliances are responsible for 50% of your energy usage. Reduce your energy consumption with Siemens efficient home appliances.

Energy savings begin at home – that is, with the choice of energy-efficient home appliances. Fifty percent of the power consumed by private households can be traced back to home appliances. Not only does the environment suffer, but the endless rise in energy costs is also hard on your budget. Home appliances are a great place to begin reducing energy consumption and costs. Using new and more efficient appliances can have a significant impact.

Ideas that do more while ­using less energy: ecoPLUS from Siemens.

Energy efficiency is more than just a passing trend – it is critical to protect our environment. Technical innovation allows Siemens to offer you the highest efficiency with continuously improving performance and maximum convenience. In the last 15 years for example,

we have been able to substantially decrease energy consumption in all categories, reducing energy usage in refrigerator/freezer combinations by up to 74%. Siemens household appliances currently have the highest EU energy classifications – and many considerably exceed those standards. The eco PLUS label can be found on the best Siemens appliances as a sign of their extreme energy efficiency and low use of resources. It makes it even easier to recognise and buy the most energy-efficient household appliances, to save the environment and your budget.

Now Siemens helps you discover the many intelligent options for initiating environmental protection at home, without sacrificing performance or convenience. On the following pages, we’ll show you how your choice of household appliances can be good for the environment and good for your budget.
