Siemens is pleased to announce the confirmation of its updated emissions reduction targets by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

Supporting the company’s commitment to fostering a low-carbon future, Siemens’ near- and long-term targets are now aligned with the SBTi Net-Zero Standard for Scope 1, 2, and 3 targets for 2030 and 2050. 

SBTi Net-Zero Standard

The SBTi Net-Zero Standard is the world’s pioneering framework for corporate net-zero target-setting in line with climate science. SBTi provides standards, guidance, and tools for companies to set emissions reduction targets. 

This confirmation by the SBTi validates Siemens’ science-based net-zero approach which is fully aligned with the Paris Agreement.

Siemens targets

The SBTi has validated the following Siemens targets:

Siemens’ near-term targets

  • For Siemens’s own operations: Reduce absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse-gas emissions by 90 percent by fiscal 2030 compared to the fiscal 2019 baseline.
  • For the value chain, including upstream and downstream activities: Reduce absolute Scope 3 greenhouse-gas emissions by 30 percent by fiscal 2030 compared to the fiscal 2019 baseline.

Siemens’ long-term targets

  • For Siemens’ own operations: Maintain a minimum absolute reduction of 90 percent, compared to the fiscal 2019 baseline, for Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse-gas until fiscal 2050.
  • For the value chain, including upstream and downstream activities: Reduce absolute Scope 3 greenhouse-gas emissions by 90 percent by fiscal 2050, compared to the fiscal 2019 baseline.

SBTi Net-Zero Standard validation

Achieving the SBTi Net-Zero Standard validation is a testament to our unwavering commitment to sustainability and our leadership in driving the industry toward a net-zero future,” said Eva Riesenhuber, Global Head of Sustainability at Siemens AG.

This confirmation reinforces our sustainability ambitions and amplifies our efforts to empower our customers and suppliers to create a resilient, low-carbon world.”
