Our Mission
Together, we drive change:
For a sustainable future
As a non-profit foundation, Siemens Stiftung is committed to sustainable social development. We focus on three topic areas: Access to Essential Services, Connected Societies, and Climate & Sustainability.
Our topic areas
Access to
Essential Services
Access to essential services is fundamental to life and plays a crucial role in development going forward. Our efforts therefore focus on supporting individuals and organizations striving to enhance existing supply systems. Our priority areas are geared to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including sustainable energy, e-mobility, along with water and sanitation. We collaborate with social enterprises, public institutions and key players in education and civil society to reach communities in underserved regions. Together with our partners, our shared vision is to strengthen communities and enable sustainable development.
Connected
Societies
Climate &
Sustainability
Protecting and preserving the planet for future generations requires cross-sectoral collaborations and a move toward holistic, sustainable practices that combine social, ecological, and economic objectives. We strive to drive this necessary process of transformation through climate change education, cultural initiatives, and social entrepreneurship. Together with our partners, we want to step forward into the future not only by reducing negative impacts on ecosystems but also by strengthening regenerative practices and resilience.
