“But one thing you should get very clear – money coming from Russia is bloody money”: Speech by Vladimir Slivyak, Ecodefense

Dear Mr Kaeser, dear Mr Bruch, dear members of the Managing Board and Supervisory Board, dear shareholders,

My name is Vladimir Slivyak, I work for the Russian non-governmental organization Ecodefense, which has been campaigning for safe energy and climate protection for the last 35 years. Because of this work, Ecodefense was falsely accused and persecuted by the Russian Government. In 2022, the European Court on Human Rights ruled that the Russian Government violated our rights (see “Ecodefense and others v Russia” 9988/13). Unfortunately, my colleagues and I had to leave Russia in order to avoid going to prison.

It’s nearly three years since Russia started unprovoked and bloody war in Ukraine which turned to be the largest war in European history since the second world war. Weiterlesen

“You are claiming to fight climate change, but what you are actually doing is that you keep a whole people in an area of extreme risk for unsurvivable heat and humidity”: Speech by Zeina Abdulmaati Abdulrahmaan

Do you know the hot air you feel when you open your oven? That heat that feels like it will burn you instantly? Now, imagine being exposed to that feeling, not for just 10 seconds when you check on a cake, but for 24 hours straight. For 4 months. This is the reality of a summer in the Sahrawi refugee camps.

My name is Zeina, I’m 20 years old, and I was born in a refugee camp. Now, you might ask yourself, “Why was she born in a refugee camp?” and “Why has she continued to live in a place meant to be temporary, for two decades?” Weiterlesen

Short-term profit from fossil fuels instead of long-term prospects for the future: Our countermotions

Regarding Agenda Item 3: To ratify the acts of the members of the Executive Board

The Association of Ethical Shareholders Germany requests that the acts of the members of the Executive Board not be ratified.

Rationale:

The Executive Board is not taking the necessary measures to achieve its long-term climate targets and is not fulfilling its human rights due diligence obligation.

Insufficient measures for climate protection: High emissions coupled with implausible climate targets

Although Siemens Energy has certainly recognized its responsibility, but also its own opportunities in the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energies, the targets for achieving true climate neutrality are not plausible. Weiterlesen
