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

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

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

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 over 30 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). Nevertheless, I had to leave Russia along with my colleagues because it became impossible for us to continue environmental and climate defending work. Weiterlesen

Dear Mr. Bruch, dear Mr. Kaeser,
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 over 30 years. Because of this work, Ecodefense has had to defend itself for many years against false accusations by the Russian government. Among other things, we have brought court cases before the European Court of Human Rights. Weiterlesen

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 has once again failed to implement ambitious measures for climate protection that reflect the consequential damage to the climate that Siemens Energy has contributed to and live up to the requirements of the Paris Agreement.

Instead of coal, expansion of fossil gas business is now causing a catastrophic climate footprint

Siemens Energy urgently needs an ambitious phase-out pathway for all fossil fuels, accompanied by a corresponding expansion of renewable energy business. Weiterlesen

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 of Siemens Energy AG is not living up to its responsibility to comply with the goals of the Paris Agreement because the company continues to participate in energy projects that are particularly harmful to the climate. It has no concrete plans to withdraw from all fossil energies.

Contract for a new coal-fired power plant is responsible for an abysmal climate footprint

Siemens Energy is actively involved in expanding the use of energies that are harmful to the climate. Weiterlesen
