How ethical and sustainable is Siemens? 

Siemens is included in The GOOD Shopping Guide‘s Cookers Ethical Ratings Table. Although Siemens has not yet complied with our ethical criteria, we hope that it will do so in the future and start conducting business more ethically.

More information on the issues this industry faces may be found in The GOOD Shopping Guide to eco-friendly cooker brands. Then, in our Cookers Ethical Ratings Table, compare Siemens to other cooker brands.

What does Siemens do?

Siemens was founded in 1847 when Werner Von Siemens designed the pointer telegraph in Germany. The brand focuses on electrical installation systems and sells home appliances such as ovens, coffee machines and dishwashers. Overall the brand has a diverse product portfolio.

Bosch acquired Siemens in 2015.

For which criteria does Siemens perform poorly? 

Siemens receives a low rating for Political Donations, as its parent company, Bosch, has donated thousands of dollars in the United States in the past 5 years.

In what areas does Siemens score well for its ethics?

Due to a lack of negative records, Siemens receives a top rating for Animal Welfare.

How can Siemens improve its Ethical Rating?

By ceasing all Political Donations and re-evaluating how it treats employees, Siemens may raise its Ethical Score and reach our fundamental ethical criteria.

The Ethical Rating of a brand is divided into three categories by The GOOD Shopping Guide: the Environment, People and Animals. Find out more about how we rate.
