Siemens’ Fürth facility has been honored as a Sustainability Lighthouse by the World Economic Forum.

Siemens’ location in Fürth, Germany has been recognized as a Sustainability Lighthouse by the World Economic Forum (WEF). This is the 21st factory worldwide to receive this honor, which recognizes organizations that have achieved step-change impact through technology-enabled reductions in energy, emissions, water, and waste. Siemens’ Fürth location reduced energy consumption by 64% and CO2e emissions by over 70% per throughput since 2019. The location also increased manufacturing output by 145% and nearly halved waste through its in-house repair service. The site aims to be climate neutral by 2026, four years ahead of Siemens’ company-wide target. The location’s success is attributed to its innovative energy system, which combines Siemens’ Simatic Energy Manager Pro, Siemens Navigator, and Performance Optimizer. The system recommends improvements and has already reduced energy consumption by 952 MW hours in lighting systems and 103 MW hours in building automation. The location is also working to improve grid quality and circularity through the use of electromagnetic filtering and on-site repair services.
