In all large companies, there is a temptation to look in wards; to seek answers to questions based on our own circumstances. However, we must ensure that a very different kind of thinking determines our decisions. Our stakeholder groups give us the larger context that must frame our business decisions.

 

Each stakeholder group has legitimate claims about how Siemens conducts itself. Customers need a partner that offers them tangible advantages. Shareholders focus on performance. Employees want a foundation for a successful career. Suppliers want a relationship that creates a win-win for both parties. And society increasingly demands the highest standards of corporate responsibility. Siemens’ long-term success demands that its relationships with all these groups are based on trust.

 

While these groups have varied claims, they are linked by a common thread: they simply expect the highest performance with the highest ethics. A clear understanding of this will enable us to align our business decisions with Siemens’ overall goals.

 

High performance and ethical behavior are the two pillars of sustainable business success - they are not contradictory. In the long term, Siemens can only be successful if we are able to satisfy both requirements at the same time.
