Business success is a key element of sustainability. Long-term customer partnerships and a strong local presence in the markets where our customers operate are decisive for business success. One Siemens, our framework for sustainable value creation, concentrates on serving innovation-driven growth markets and, at the same time, steadily expanding our customer-oriented Environmental Portfolio.
Thanks to the close relationships cultivated with our customers, we develop a considerable share of our portfolio directly with them, often even on their own premises. This applies in particular to our Environmental Portfolio, in which we bundle all those products, systems, solutions and services that make particular contributions to environmental and climate protection. The qualification of products and solutions for our Environmental Portfolio is based on defined processes and strict criteria.
Once a year, the Siemens Sustainability Board checks and approves changes in the composition of the Portfolio. In fiscal 2012, for example, frequency converters were qualified.
