Siemens has cut operational emissions 60% since 2019 and won SBTi validation, but Scope 3 remains volatile and poorly tracked. The Carmichael coal mine contract (2020) exposed a credibility gap. Undisclosed trade association memberships—including positions in climate-skeptical groups—undermine accountability claims.
