Ethnic & cultural inclusion

With 318,000 people representing 171 different nationalities, we embrace the unique perspectives, traditions and beliefs that make us who we are.

Welcoming all our people

As a global leader, we are proud to be recognized as an employer of choice for our multinational workforce. As such, we encourage an open dialogue around ethnic and cultural inclusion. These discussions are paramount for our community to thrive, and these are just a few of the ways we foster this conversation:

  • Internally, our Belonging Day events feature experts and Siemens advocates who bring greater visibility, awareness and understanding to topics like ethnicity, culture and intersectionality.
  • Our employee resource groups (ERGs) include those focused on ethnic and cultural dimensions around the world. Our ERGs are open to everyone.
  • Answering the call for action in the UK, we have made commitments across all our local businesses in support of the Race at Work Charter, which empowers employers and helps accelerate change for Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) employees in the workplace.

Actions speak louder than words

Across the company, in every role and function, we share the responsibility of supporting ethnic and cultural inclusion every day.
