Finland and the Baltic states

Earth is called the blue planet. How do we keep it green?

www.siemens.com

Finland and the Baltic statesOverview

One of the major challenges to Finnish society is to reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions. Simultaneously industry needs affordable and reliable power.

I believe innovative technologies are the way to raise the standard of living while mitigating the climate change in Finland and the Baltic states. Siemens already helps Finnish and Baltic businesses and societies to succeed by combining global technology solutions and local expertise.

The environmental technologies being developed by Siemens are helping to maximise productivity while minimising waste, pollution and expense – providing benefits to our business, our customers and to society at large.

Siemens makes things better for people. More efficient, more cost effective, more sustainable. For example, Siemens is to equip Helsinki Metro with automation technology for driverless operation. The trains will be able to run in shorter intervals enabling the traffic system to carry more passengers and making travel more enjoyable by cutting waiting times.

That in itself is not going to prevent climate change. But it is part of the solution: and helping to keep the planet green will require many environmentally friendly solutions.

Ensuring welfare requires complex technical solutions, such as the pioneer carbon capture and storage system planned to Meri-Pori fossil power plant. Meeting technological challenges is what Siemens does. It is that which has built the business.

Despite the severe economic downturn, the Finnish society and some businesses continued their fight to mitigate the climate change. Siemens was able to win some pioneer projects to help cut down CO2 emissions. The company’s performance was affected by the downturn in the Baltic states and in Finland.

Siemens is currently spending €850 million each year on research and development into environmental and climate protection. Our environmental portfolio is already a significant part of our business, and we intend to grow it by 10% a year, to €25 billion by 2011.

In 2008, Siemens helped customers reduce their carbon emissions by 148 million tonnes. By 2011, we aim to increase this saving to 275 million tonnes.

We are developing and promoting products that do more with less: that cut carbon emissions, that use less energy or increase the use of renewable energy, and which are building for the future. We are cutting waste and pollution and expense, while enhancing quality of life.

Sampo Group is tackling energy consumption with Performance Contracting. For example, a hotel in Järvenpää, close to Helsinki, uses 30% less energy thanks to the modernisation of building technology and automation solutions. Similar work has been carried out in a shopping centre in the same city.

“We are looking for higher earnings and better service for our tenants”, says Jukka Teerimäki, Manager of Sampo Group’s Real Estate.

Performance Contracting guarantees agreed energy savings within a limited time. If they do not materialise, Siemens pays back most of the investment. In the hotel’s case the investment has paid for itself in energy savings over a couple of years and the savings targets were surpassed.

Finland and the Baltic states Highlights of the year

Energy efficiency is key to what Siemens has to offer – products and services that use less of it or make it more efficiently – and ways of helping customers reduce their carbon emissions.

The automation of Helsinki metro and the western extension, Länsimetro to driverless system, for instance, can reduce the train intervals to almost half of what they are today. The metro will be able to carry more people, making it more efficient and the traffic system more sustainable and – not to forget – more user-friendly.

Savings in electricity use of up to 80% are available across a range of Siemens products: from building management systems to lighting solutions. Buildings account for 40% of global energy consumption and more than 20% of greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, being able to cut energy costs by up to 50% in existing buildings by offering a portfolio of energy saving solutions can make a significant difference.

Siemens is already helping Finnish companies and the public sector cut its emissions from buildings. The Building Technology Division won its first Performance Contracting contracts. For example the energy consumption of two buildings owned by the property investing arm of Sampo Group was reduced substantially. Siemens also won a Performance contract with the City of Iitti in south-east of Finland. Performance Contracting guarantees agreed energy savings within a limited time of a few years.

According to the Finnish Long-Term Climate and Energy strategy announced at the end of 2008 Finland aims to decrease energy consumption, increase the share of renewable energy sources and to cut CO2 emissions. Siemens technology contributes to reach these goals. Siemens was, for example, selected as the technology partner for a pioneering project aimed at making coal power environmentally friendly: The Meri-Pori Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) project. It is among the largest post-combustion capture projects yet announced in Europe. The owners of the plant, Finnish utilities Fortum and Teollisuuden Voima Oyj plan to apply for the European Flagship Programme with Siemens capture technology combined to a ship transportation and geological storage solution. The selection for the first tranche of the Flagship Programme is expected to take place in 2011.

Siemens will also build and maintain four 2.3MW wind turbines for utility company Suomen Hyötytuuli Oy in western Finland. This is a ground-breaker for Siemens Finland in the growing markets of renewable energy, as they are the first Siemens wind turbines to be built in Finland.

In these and in other ways, Siemens in Finland and the Baltic states answers the world’s toughest questions.

Siemens uK

in Finland and the Baltic states, Siemens is working to help businesses and the societies succeed – help them be quicker, more cost effective, greener. We want our customers, our business and society at large to benefit from a more efficient use of resources.

Finland Reliable Bioenergy and heat for EstoniaThe Vao Power plant outside of Tallinn supplies the city with green energy and district heating. It uses mainly timber as fuel. The CHP plant helps Estonia to meet its CO2 reduction targets and increases supply security of district heating in the Tallinn area.

Vao Power plant produces over 25MW of electricity and nearly 50MW of thermal energy.

Siemens delivered the turbine, generator, district heat exchangers, piping and electrification of the plant. Siemens was also in charge of the automation of the plant.

Cross-sECtor BusiNEssEsour Cross-sector Businesses specialise in offering corporate finance and it solutions, and support the three main sectors in finding answers to tough questions.

Siemens IT Solutions and Servicessiemens is an international leader in the provision of it products, solutions and services. From a single source, we cover the entire it service chain – from consulting and system integration to the management of it infrastructures – with particular expertise in the industry, Energy and Healthcare sectors, in addition to our strengths in the public sector, financial services and media.

Siemens Financial ServicesWe specialise in innovative products and services for corporate financing and risk management, and are a global provider of business-to-business financial solutions.

the future of industry is to make ever more efficient use of resources. With integrated hardware and software technologies, as well as comprehensive industry-specific solutions, siemens industry helps deliver this improved productivity. We are the leading global supplier of production, transportation, building and lighting technologies: and by combining virtual product planning with leading-edge automation we provide innovative solutions for highly flexible production processes. that is how we make the manufacturing of customised products cost-effective.

if we are going to keep climate change within tolerable limits, we need to do many things at the same time. We need to improve the efficiency of power generation and transmission technologies. We must substantially reduce Co2 emissions; develop more innovative solutions for renewable energy; and increase the efficiency with which we use energy. siemens Energy has answers to all of these questions, and is a leading supplier of a spectrum of services and solutions across the energy sector.

if we are going to make high-quality, patient-oriented, affordable healthcare a reality for growing numbers of people, we must increase efficiency in all areas of the healthcare sector. We must do more with less: and our strategy at siemens Healthcare is to make the best possible use of resources to deliver optimal patient care. We are one of the largest suppliers of healthcare technology in the world, and combine the most advanced laboratory diagnostics, imaging systems and it solutions.

Can you continue to make more with less?

Yes. Across the world – and across the board – customers are demanding better quality products at lower prices, and wanting them faster. Industries that supply those products need to constantly improve their efficiency.But this growth in demand does not have to mean a growth in demand for energy. Reducing energy consumption – in the buildings where the products are made, in manufacturing processes, and in the transportation of goods – helps industry to cut costs as well as benefiting the environment.

IndustryTechnologies for productivity, flexibility and energy efficiency

The world’s population is growing. Our demand for energy is increasing. We all want better transport for goods and people, better healthcare and better lives. But if we are going to achieve these things we need to be able to do more with less. We need to use fewer resources to produce a better end result. We need to be more productive, more efficient. Smarter.

Poland The system rules!siemens has installed a traffic management system for Warsaw city centre. the system monitors, controls and improves the flow of traffic at 37 intersections, but also gives priority to trams along the main Jerozolimskie Alee.

the aim was to attract people to public transport by ensuring shorter travelling times, increasing road safety and reducing traffic pollution.

Norway Guaranteed savingssiemens has identified a way of potentially making all of the buildings in Norway more energy efficient.

For example, in trondheim, we have entered into a performance contract with ‘olavskvartalet’. this development contains offices, a hotel, shops and a concert arena. the aim is to reduce energy consumption by 850MW annually over the next six years.

the total reductions would correspond to the energy use of 50 single family houses.

Industry

industry is siemens’ largest business sector. our customers represent an enormous range of technological requirements and challenges, yet they all want to increase their efficiency, their flexibility and productivity. We help them to do that with our innovative products and with our integrated systems combining expertise across our divisions.

Core technologies – drives, controls, switches and communications systems – find applications in our Energy and Healthcare sectors too. And with our it- based integrations of product planning and production, we are the only supplier worldwide that can accelerate manufacturers’ processes at every stage of the value chain. For many products, we reduce time-to-market by up to 50%, benefiting our customers and their customers alike.

innovation is more than just a word for siemens. it is key to what we do, and to the way in which we can help create a sustainable future. in order to minimise our use of resources, mankind has to do things differently – and that’s what innovation means. it is central to our customers’ needs, to the needs of society as a whole, and to our business. And siemens’ industry businesses generated over 2,000 of the Group’s 5,000 first patents in FY 2008.

our innovations can increase productivity and cut raw material use by 30%. our products can reduce electricity use significantly, improving efficiency and resulting in significant reductions in Co2 emissions.

siemens’ industry sector covers four main areas: mobility, building, process and manufacturing industries. in many of these industries energy saving potential is obvious. Drives account for 65% of industrial power consumption, and siemens estimates that savings of up to €3 billion a year could be made in European industry alone by introducing more efficient drive systems. in all industries siemens plays a leading role. siemens is a leading supplier to a number of highly energy-intensive industries such as cement, paper and chemicals, where reductions in energy consumption can make a real difference, both economically and environmentally. We take care of the world’s water with the broadest range of systems, services and experience to ensure that water plants perform consistently and cost-effectively.

According to the international Energy Agency, commercial buildings account for around 40% of global energy consumption and more than 20% of energy-related Co2 emissions. But clearly not all commercial buildings are the same. shopping centres, hospitals and airports all impose very different demands on building technologies.

so our Building technologies business has brought together our expertise in specific areas to provide targeted solutions. For some customers who operate on a global scale, such as hotel chains or the pharmaceutical industry, we can provide standardised building management and security solutions that ensure interoperability between locations, optimising business processes and cutting installation and maintenance costs.

intelligent solutions enable energy savings of up to 50% to be made in most buildings. the energy cost of lighting, for example, where our osrAM division is a major presence, can be cut by up to 80%.

Mobility is another area in which what we do directly addresses some of the central challenges facing our society. increasing urbanisation and globalisation mean that we have to move people and goods ever more efficiently. And the impact of climate change means that this has to be done sustainably.

such a challenge can only be met with integrated solutions – rail, road, air and water. And siemens is the only company able to rise to that challenge.

the siemens industry sector is broken down into six divisions. these are:

industry Automation – leads the world in supplying automation systems, industrial software and sensors.

Drive technologies – world leader in products and services for production machinery and machine tools.

industry solutions – services cover the planning, construction, operation and maintenance of plants throughout their lifecycle.

Building technologies – supplies building solutions which improve energy efficiency, security, building automation and low voltage systems.

osrAM – a world leader in lighting manufacture with energy efficient technology at the core of its product development.

Mobility – offers operating systems for rail and road traffic, airport logistics, postal automation as well as rolling stock for rail networks.

An improved version of the Ampelmann platform went into operation in summer 2008. this platform allows maintenance fitters to transfer safely from a ship to a drilling rig or wind turbine, even in bad weather.

the Ampelmann, a six-legged platform on hydraulic cylinders, was devised in 2002 by a research team from the Delft university of technology with support from the Dutch government. the control components are from siemens. this technique goes by the name of motion compensation; the aircraft industry uses the same technique for the opposite purpose in flight simulators.

the Ampelmann is mounted on a ship and because it is supported on six legs it holds stable a transfer platform and an access bridge. industrial motion sensors measure the degree of swell; an automatic controller extends and retracts the legs by means of hydraulic cylinders, depending on whether the ship is rising or falling in the waves. the cylinders have a stroke of two meters.

Can renewable energy power the world?

Yes. But not on its own. By 2030, global power consumption is forecast to reach almost double what it is today.Siemens is the world leader in renewable energy technologies, and we know that the supply of biomass, solar and wind power could not meet this demand. Demand can only be met sustainably by a combination of technologies, including more efficient conventional generation and transmission.Fortunately we are leaders in those technologies too.

Norway World’s first full-scale floating wind turbineAn innovative and promising solution in the fight against climate change is the floating wind turbine concept – Hywind – where siemens, the world’s largest supplier of offshore wind turbines, has teamed up with Norwegian oil and gas producer statoil to create the world’s first full-scale floating wind turbine.

Hywind has the ability to make offshore wind power practical even at sea depths of 700 metres, harnessing wind conditions that previously were out of bounds, and considerably increasing the options for locating offshore wind farms – helping to reduce the need for expensive onshore sites.

the Hywind pilot wind turbine was inaugurated on 8 september 2009 off the west coast of Norway and is the world’s first floating wind turbine supplying electricity to shore.

Ireland Innovative solutions for substationsEsB Networks plan to install a number of suburban 110kV/MV substations to meet ireland’s energy demands in the coming years. the challenge facing EsB was that there was little cost justification for a full indoor 110kV gas insulated substation (Gis) normally installed in urban areas, or the high real estate cost of an air insulated switchgear substation (Ais), usually installed in rural areas.

the solution was to design a hybrid station using compact outdoor ‘mixed technology switchgear’ at 110kV with siemens’ highly integrated switchgear (His), which requires significantly less space than Ais, but offers the safety, security and flexibility of Gis. this compact solution is also more economical with a lower environmental impact

many experts believe that global energy demand will nearly double by the year 2030 as a result of the large scale demographic and economic changes taking place around the world. meeting this demand in an environmentally sustainable way is a major challenge. Siemens is the only company that can provide products and solutions spanning the entire energy conversion chain. This holistic approach is essential if the problems are to be solved.

the world energy market is in a state of flux, with cost and environmental pressures driving dynamic change.

oil and gas prices will only rise in the long term, as will the cost of emitting Co2. the cost of engineering and building new fossil-fuelled power plants is increasing. But since renewable power generation technologies are not affected by rising fuel and Co2 costs, and are expected to see a decline in future investment costs in comparison to fossil and nuclear generation, we believe that by the year 2030, roughly 40% of worldwide investment in the power plant market will be going into renewable energy.

Among the renewables, wind power is by far the most important energy source. installed offshore wind power capacity in Europe is forecast to grow from just over 1GW today to over 20GW by 2020, and siemens Energy is growing faster than the market. We are already the leader in offshore wind farm installations and the efficiency of our turbine rotor blades is greater than ever before.

in 2009, renewables contributed less than 5% of all the electricity generated in North West Europe. But there are challenges to the economic utilisation of renewables. these include the naturally low energy density of sun and wind and fluctuating feed-ins to the power grid. Part of the solution to this is the development of ‘intelligent’ distribution grids for electricity – grids than can maintain security while handling fluctuating feeds and minimising losses with minimum human intervention.

today‘s power supply infrastructure is not adequate to meet future energy demands in North West Europe and the market for grid modernisation is therefore expected to show vigorous growth. siemens Energy is number one in the power transmission sector, and has the core technologies and control equipment necessary for efficient, reliable and secure electricity supply. these include our new high-voltage, direct-current transmission technology, which enables power to be transmitted over 600km with low power loss.

Europe also needs to replace many of its ageing power plants. it is only with a broad-based energy mix that we can ensure a reliable, eco-friendly and affordable electricity supply. this means we will need to make use of all energy sources and technologies, including oil, coal, nuclear and natural gas as well as renewables.

the siemens Energy sector is the world‘s leading supplier of a complete spectrum of products, services and solutions for the high-efficiency generation, transmission and distribution of power and for the extraction, conversion and transport of oil and gas.

the business is broken down into six divisions, all of which hold leading market positions:

– oil & Gas

– Fossil Power Generation

– renewable Energy

– Energy service

– Power transmission

– Power Distribution.

Fossil fuels are the main pillar of power generation throughout the world, with a 67% share of the global energy mix, and experts estimate that the share will still be over 60% in the year 2030. But new fossil-fuelled power plants will have to be able to show reductions in greenhouse gases and other harmful emissions.

siemens has already developed the world’s largest turbine for gas-fired combined-cycle power plant, which will deliver a record breaking efficiency of more than 60%.

Coal will continue to be widely used due to its low cost and widespread availability. so siemens is working on technological solutions to make the use of coal and gas more environmentally friendly – including further efficiency improvements and the development of carbon capture and storage technologies.

For the oil and gas sector we are also developing an ‘all-electric’ concept in which the process compressors are driven by electrical motors rather than gas turbines. this could increase overall efficiency from 20% to almost 50% and contribute further to Co2 emission reduction as electricity generation is progressively decarbonised.

UNITed KINGdOmThe lOGISTIcS OF GeTTING A WINd FArm rUNNING

the Lynn and inner Dowsing wind farm, three miles off the Lincolnshire coast, began exporting power to the uK national grid in 2008. Centrica’s 180MW development is capable of supplying clean electricity to around 130,000 homes and will save 500,000 tonnes of Co2 every year.

siemens supplied and erected the farm’s 54 wind turbines and also built the substation at skegness that connects the power generated to the grid.

“one challenge with Lynn and inner Dowsing,” explains siemens general manager Jamie rowlands, “was that the site was an hour and 40 minutes from the nearest major port – Grimsby – so we had to find a way to reduce transport time to meet the very tight project deadlines.”

Part of the answer was hiring a ‘hotel vessel’ where technicians who worked offshore could live during the installation phase. More time was saved, Jamie says, “by contracting an installation vessel, which could transport twice the number of wind turbines as the previous ship we’d used.”

deNmArKThe GreAT BelT POWer lINK

in 2005, Energinet.dk the Danish electricity transmission system operator (tso) decided to link eastern and western Denmark with the so-called Great Belt Power Link. this link had been discussed for nearly 100 years. But not until the full liberalisation of the Danish electricity market on 1 January 2003, did the link become a good investment for the country.

An interconnection under the Great Belt offers several benefits to electricity consumers, including increased competition in the electricity market and lower operating costs for the Danish power system. All things being equal, this should mean lower electricity prices. At the same time, the coming High-Voltage Direct-Current (HVDC) Link will improve security of electricity supply and enable an exchange of wind power – mostly produced in the western parts of Denmark – to the east of the country.

siemens is supplying the HVDC converter stations on Funen and Zealand. the construction work started in spring 2008 and will end in 2010. the Great Belt Power Link will be commissioned at the end of 2010.

Does improved healthcare have to cost more?

No. Demand for improvements in healthcare will always outstrip supply, and there could never be enough money to pay for it. Resources are finite. But patients, health providers and society at large benefit from Siemens’ investment of more than a billion euros a year in healthcare research and development. Our focus is on improving the performance of equipment while reducing the amount of energy needed to operate it. And we are increasingly refurbishing pre-owned medical equipment whilst updating older products with the latest technology.

healthcare

demographic change and increasing cost pressure in healthcare require comprehensive and broad-based solutions that improve quality of patient care while reducing cost. As an innovation leader and the world’s first integrated healthcare company, Siemens can act on these challenges.

denmark Siemens helps production growthKPLL is a laboratory serving general practitioners in and around Copenhagen. it is also one of the busiest in the world analysing up to 8,000 samples a day.

But it is on several floors of an old – yet fashionable – building where limited space demands a focus on production design.

siemens Healthcare Diagnostics has provided two flexible track systems which have enabled KPLL to continue growing in-spite of the challenging laboratory layout and, in 2009, added a further ADViA automation track.

this will help KPLL to meet future demand without compromising quality.

Poland First molecular cT in Polandthe first molecular computed tomography (mCt) scanner in Poland – and one of the first anywhere in Europe – has been installed at the Center of oncology in Bydgoszcz.

the ultraHD-PEt 128 slices mCt equipment is designed for advanced oncological and cardiological examinations and diagnostics, and together with two siemens PEt/Ct scanners that the Center is already using, will make this the biggest PEt site in Poland.

the first PEt multi carbon tracers laboratory in Poland has also been opened at the Bydgoszcz Center, with five Explora modules, hot cells and automatic dispensing unit.

the world’s population is growing and it is ageing. this is also true in North West Europe. And older people are more prone to multiple chronic diseases. such diseases account for a large percentage of all healthcare costs.

All healthcare systems around the world face pressure on resources, on time and money. siemens’ fundamental goal therefore is a simple one: to improve the quality of healthcare delivery, while reducing its cost.

We aim to provide innovative and cost effective solutions across the entire continuum of care from prevention and early detection – which provides clear clinical and financial benefits – to diagnosis, therapy and care.

our extensive portfolio of products covers all fields of the healthcare sector, from imaging systems for diagnosis and therapy, to laboratory diagnostics, to audiology. For example, with over 900 test types, we have the broadest range of diagnostic testing in the industry. We offer modern healthcare information technology with flexible and customer-specific it solutions, as well as consulting services in areas such as process optimisation, workflow planning and the facility management of hospitals. We can even provide access to asset financing.

this makes siemens the first integrated healthcare company that combines, under one roof, all of the products and services our customers need to meet the challenges they face.

What we call integrated Healthcare – synchronising workflows and improving collaboration across departments, hospitals and even entire health systems – allows critical information to flow smoothly among care teams getting to the right person, at the right place, at the right time so care providers can make better decisions faster. the results are less waiting and increased patient throughput, improved clinical outcomes, higher patient satisfaction and lower costs.

We believe that integrated Healthcare – ultimately – will shift healthcare to become more preventative and knowledge-driven, and will thereby reduce the need to expensively treat acute illness.

siemens is already one of the world’s largest suppliers to the healthcare and audiology industry. Worldwide, more than 170 million healthcare information transactions are performed by siemens every business day, and an estimated 800 million imaging procedures are performed annually with siemens imaging equipment. Almost a third of all the hearing systems produced globally come from siemens.

We are an established and significant contributor to the economies of North West Europe. More than 30% of our sales are in Europe. Globally siemens’ Healthcare sector spends €1 billion a year on research and development, which as a percentage of sales is appreciably more than the industry average.

And what this investment creates is new equipment that uses less energy yet provides patients with better treatment. the new siemens Ct (computed tomography) scanner, for example, can scan a thorax in less than a second, and a heart in a quarter of a second – which is less than a heartbeat. the radiation dose is lower than conventional methods and for a heart scan it is below annual natural exposure levels.

our approach is to work in partnership with doctors and scientists to ensure that what we develop is what clinicians need to benefit patients; and we believe that siemens is better placed than any other company to provide the solutions needed to meet the healthcare requirements of tomorrow‘s world.

siemens Healthcare is the market leader in imaging, diagnostics and audiology. the sector comprises three divisions. these are:

Diagnostics – its systems range from point-of-care applications to the automation of large laboratories.

imaging and it – provides imaging systems for early diagnosis and intervention, networked with high-performance healthcare it to optimise processes.

Workflow and solutions – provides solutions for fields such as cardiology, oncology, audiology and neurology as well as turnkey packages including national health it systems and consulting.

Prof. Gabriel Krestin of the Erasmus Medical Center in rotterdam was the first in the Netherlands, and one of the first in the world, to have access to the soMAtoM Definition Flash. this, the world’s fastest computed tomography (Ct) scanner, uses the lowest possible amount of x-ray radiation. so low that for the first time non-invasive cardiological examinations are routinely possible. thanks to the high scan speed, this type of examination can be performed in a fraction of a second. Patients no longer need to hold their breath and the images are crystal-clear. Major progress for patients and doctors alike.

Siemens IT Solutions and ServicesTransforming IT into business valueThe world is undergoing unprecedented change. demographic change, urbanisation, climate change and globalisation are reshaping our lives and the competitive environment in which companies operate. Increasingly, the quality, security, flexibility and sustainability of organisations’ IT environments will influence their success.

United Kingdom leading by example in corporate responsibiltyto help clients measure sustainability, siemens it solutions and services adopted CAEsEr. recognised by the Chartered institute of Purchasing and supply, CAEsEr provides a consistent method of measuring sustainability.

After a 98% self-certified score, we underwent a rigorous CAEsEr audit to achieve Verified status – and have gained recognition as an ‘exemplar’ organisation.

CAEsEr’s chairman, John McClelland CBE says “siemens it solutions and services has shown that the ethics of Csr pervade the organisation. it understands how these values offer both ethical and practical advantage: proof of its commitment to being an exemplar ‘responsible’ company”.

Finland Siemens partnering with UPm in IT globalisationsiemens it solutions and services was chosen as a partner of the forest industry giant uPM when they remodelled their it-infrastructure. uPM has outsourced their data centre for global applications. their goal was to be more scalable, reduce costs and serve the end users better than before.

siemens has provided flexibility, and cost efficiency through an improved ‘on-demand’ – model. siemens has been uPM‘s outsourcing partner since 2006 in Data Center services and the it Global Help Desk.

Faced with such challenges, organisations are being forced to continually transform and focus their business models. they need to manage complexity, reduce costs, improve core process efficiency and effectiveness, improve service quality and stay closer to their customers.

to support these goals, it must be embedded in core business processes – simply understanding the underlying technology is not sufficient. siemens it solutions services uses its extensive cross-industry and industry-specific knowledge to align innovative it with its customers’ overall strategies and capacity to implement change – transforming it into business value.

We are a leading international provider of it solutions and services, covering the entire it service chain from a single source – from consulting to system integration, right through to the management and maintenance of it infrastructures.

As a cross-sector division of the siemens Group – working in collaboration with the Energy, industry and Healthcare sectors, we have served many of the largest organisations’ requirements, particularly in the public sector, financial services, industry, energy, healthcare and media sector.

We draw on technology skills and industry know-how from across North West Europe and beyond to help address the challenges customers’ face. our on-shore facilities and Global Production Centres support the delivery of high quality, cost-effective services such as data centre, service desk, applications management and business process outsourcing.

With our extensive track record in providing advanced service offerings, ranging from infrastructure virtualisation through to full it outsourcing and Business Process outsourcing for both the private and public sectors, we are able to look at new and emerging technologies, such as cloud computing, from a clear business perspective. Many of these services are supplied to our own siemens operations – so we know they work! Above all we recognise that business transformation is a journey – and we seek to work in close partnership with our customers throughout that journey.

As new technologies and delivery approaches emerge, siemens it solutions and services focuses on how to realise their potential in real customer situations by addressing considerations such as security, integration with legacy environments and migration roadmaps.

For example, our ‘it for sustainability’ offering is at the forefront of the market. At its heart is our Environmental Load Accumulation Modelling (ELAM) service, which allows the current and potential future environmental load of it estates to be defined. this builds upon siemens’ existing work in environmental sustainability healthchecks and assessments – balancing economic and environmental demands to drive a reduction in both iCt costs and carbon footprint.

our systems provide security for online banking and identity assurance, through the use of biometrics and other identity management solutions. We can ensure that drugs are what they say they are – and not counterfeit. We ease global trade by managing supply chains and customer relationships as well as providing transportation solutions for air, road, rail and water.

the Danish trade union FinansForbundet needed to re-locate: and decided to update its it systems at the same time. the brief to siemens it solutions and services was to provide a whole new it infrastructure that would also reduce the union’s Co2 emissions.

the choice was to build the infrastructure on a virtual platform. this saved money on servers, cooling and power as well as disposal of the old technology.

in addition, the it solution was not only much more manageable, but also cut annual Co2 emissions by 130 tonnes – equivalent to taking 37 cars off the road.

Siemens Financial ServicesInnovative products and servicesSiemens Financial Services (SFS) is an international provider of financial solutions in the business-to-business area. Globally we employ about 1,900 people, supporting Siemens as well as non-Siemens companies. We focus on the three sectors of energy, industry and healthcare, providing services such as commercial finance, equity and project finance, insurance and treasury and investment management.

Sweden Tailor-made serviceWest Air delivers mail and parcels by using tailor-made cargo aircraft.

West Air has become a premier operator within the air cargo niche by customising their product well. With the help of tailor-made financial solutions from siemens, adjusted for both West Air as the customer and the market demands, West Air buys airplanes – often previously used for passenger traffic – and converts them into customised cargo aircraft. By transforming the use of the airplanes into their niche market West Air has become a very successful operator in Europe.

Leveraging our industrial know-how as well as our financial expertise, we offer financial solutions to private businesses and public sector organisations for infrastructure and equipment investments with solutions that range from leasing to lease-purchase models to whole project financing.

For example, we recently provided financial solutions for the largest private finance initiative (PFi) project in the British healthcare system. As part of a project consortium, siemens provided technology for the restructuring of st Bartholomew’s Hospital in London into a specialised cancer and cardiac centre. siemens Financial services advised on a suitable financing approach, a reduction of credit risk with the help of a project financing structure, and a managed services agreement that covered equipment, maintenance and several technology upgrades.

We aim to preserve and protect our customers’ capital by maximising the working life of assets, via a payment strategy that matches the depreciation cycle. skilful management of business risks – from insurance solutions and investment management to long-term currency and interest rate management and working capital – can help our customers to grow their businesses, create value and strengthen their competitiveness.

As a non-bank provider of financial services we benefit from a distinct positioning. our customers can count on stable financing in unstable times, and simple solutions combined with pre-eminent levels of customer service.

Yet at the same time, our international presence means that we have excellent access to capital markets, strong purchasing power and good relationships with banks. this can be a particularly important factor with regard to participation in syndicates, especially as our industrial know-how often gives us a thorough understanding of our customers’ businesses.

corporate responsibility

Poland Being a good citizensiemens in Poland supports science and culture. two major awards have been granted each year, for many years to scientists from Polish technical universities and from the Polish Academy of sciences for outstanding achievements in applied technologies and theoretical research.

in 2006 siemens established another prize – for a graduate from the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. the sponsoring of premières by eminent European artists, has also become tradition.

Sustainability is at the heart of Siemens’ approach to corporate responsibility: sustainability of our business, of the communities in which we work, and of the environment in which we all live. For Siemens, responsible company management is a prerequisite for social acceptance and long-term business success.

Corporate responsibility for us means focusing on four key areas:

• Corporate governance

• Compliance

• Climate protection

• Corporate citizenship

our corporate governance demands strict compliance with the rules of financial reporting and transparency, as well as open communication with shareholders.

siemens does not tolerate illegal and unethical behaviour. We have binding company guidelines that require all of our employees worldwide to behave ethically and in conformity with the law. in order to implement our compliance programme we not only set up a worldwide compliance organisation but also a system to verify adherence to the programme, and operate a confidential Helpdesk which offers siemens employees, customers, suppliers and business partners the opportunity to report violations.

the environmentally compatible design of our products and the energy efficiency of our production facilities, play a major, verifiable role in protecting the climate. our products and solutions helped our customers reduce their Co2 emissions by around 210 million tonnes in FY 2009 – which is more than 35 times the amount of Co2 that siemens itself produced with its own business activities. And these are

not just claims. our figures and measurement methodologies have been examined by the independent auditors PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) and approved without qualification.

We take our responsibilities as a corporate citizen seriously, engaging in extensive international education, community aid, and arts and culture programmes. We want siemens to be seen as a valued member of its local communities. We promote community values as part of the siemens culture and support our employees in their charitable activities.

the effort that we are putting into promoting a sustainable business model is gaining recognition outside of the company.

siemens has been named once again in the prestigious Dow Jones sustainability World index, even achieving the number one position in the Diversified industrials sector. We increased the lead we held last year in the categories of Compliance and risk Management and this year received the highest points possible in each category. the company has also considerably improved its rankings in the categories Environment and society.

this is the tenth time in a row that siemens has been honoured by Dow Jones analysts for its sustainable activities – and this year’s overall result is the best we have ever achieved.

Earth is called the blue planet. How do we keep it green?

www.siemens.com

DenmarkOverview

How can we preserve our green earth? It is the most important issue that all people must ask themselves today.

At Siemens in Denmark, we ask ourselves whether we can make a difference. And the answer is clear. We certainly can.

Denmark is already recognised as a pioneer within a number of technologies that make the world more sustainable. Siemens plays a key role in the development and production of these green technologies, for example wind power, energy conservation and optimisation of environmental processes.

It provides benefits for our customers, for Siemens, and ultimately for our shared planet.

Siemens in Denmark is a front runner in green technology. Across the country wind power plants are used and installed from the division’s headquarter in a small town in Jutland. From the north of Zealand in a city called Elsinore advanced facilities which streamline water treatment and purification of waste gases are produced and exported.

Siemens is the preferred partner when it comes to energy optimisation of public buildings and intelligent control of indoor air quality and consumption.

DSB is so pleased with its Siemens Desiro train that it has just commissioned eight new train set of the latest and most energy efficient, environmentally friendly type.

From Als, Siemens exports ultra-precise measurement devices around the world which makes industrial processes and utilities environmentally friendly and energy efficient.

Both in the health sector and in manufacturing, Siemens is the key factor in efforts to make things better, more economical and more climate friendly.

The threat to the climate of course is not dispelled by Siemens alone. But we are determined to provide the best possible solutions for specific tasks. We are far from the end of the road. Therefore we are constantly working to develop the most advanced technology, so that Siemens also in the future will be a highly visible contributor in order to help solve the earth’s climate challenges.

The Siemens Group is one of the world’s largest technology companies, with annual investments in research and development of over six billion Danish crowns. Our activities within the environment must grow by 10% annually and reach a total turnover of nearly 200 billion Danish crowns in 2011.

In 2008 Siemens solutions helped to reduce CO2 emissions, equal to the total discharges from the cities London, Rome, Washington DC, New York, Singapore, Hong Kong and Tokyo.

To provide new opportunities through new technologies; this is what Siemens has done for more than a hundred years. And it is our job in the future.
