Our verdict

Siemens Energy operates with solid operational emissions disclosure and 100% renewable electricity, but rising absolute emissions across all scopes in FY2024 reverse multi-year progress. Scope 3 coverage remains fragmented, and the company actively lobbies to preserve fossil gas in energy policy despite climate commitments.

Siemens Energy scores 31/100 (Below expectations) on SINK's independent climate assessment, scored from public data only. Scores are free. Companies can never pay for anything about their own score. Last verified May 2026.

That places Siemens Energy joint 658th of 934 companies scored, and 10th of 12 in Electrical Equipment / Lighting.

The ten questions

What is Siemens Energy doing well, and where does it fall short?

Strongest on Energy Source and Carbon Footprint: Operations (8/10, 7/10). Weakest on Emissions Trajectory and Carbon Footprint: Supply Chain (3/10, 4/10).
