Our global network of suppliers has central importance for our company, but it also brings great challenges and responsibility as we source goods and services from 90,000 suppliers in about 172 countries each year.
Purchased products and services account for almost half the value of our total revenue. That’s why suppliers play a critical role in our sustainability-oriented value-added chain.
When selecting a supplier, Siemens looks not only for the most competitive and innovative candidate, but also sets high standards for sustainability. This is why we integrated sustainability requirements in all relevant supplier management processes in recent years and constantly further develop them.
