"Employee Training
Siemens has two online training modules entitled “Sustainability in the Supply Chain” and “Supplier Qualification: General Approach”. These trainings are mandatory for all employees with purchasing responsibility and highlight the importance of the Code of Conduct for Siemens Suppliers and Third-Party Intermediaries. Completion forms part of an employee’s annual performance targets and therefore subject to formal monitoring.
In 2022 Siemens launched a bespoke web-based training on Modern Slavery. 1,600 employees completed the training, which was further supplemented by an all-employee email communication and was referenced as a headline feature in a monthly management bulletin. For employees who did not have access to the online training a presentation guide was used by managers and supervisors to raise and discuss the topic in team meetings.
A web based training covering the Business Conduct Guidelines is refreshed every three years with completion mandatory for ALL employees."
