Siemens ’ Jenny Bofinger-Schuster shares the importance of a holistic approach to sustainability as the company strives to create an equitable world
Companies of all sizes in all industries are making real changes to the way they operate to integrate more sustainable practices into their business . Not only does this have a positive impact on the environment , but businesses with sustainable practices reap a number of other benefits , particularly as statistics show green initiatives grow businesses 28 times faster than average companies .
Additionally , it has been found such initiatives lead to an up to 20 % increase in sales revenue . With a robust and holistic approach to sustainability , technology company Siemens is leading the way as it solidifies its environmental , social and governance ( ESG ) strategy and drives a number of climateconscious initiatives .
At the helm of these strategies is Jenny Bofinger-Schuster , SVP of Sustainability and Operational Excellence . With a passion for sustainability and the company , Bofinger- Schuster takes a great deal of inspiration from Werner Von Siemens , who founded the company 175 years ago .
“ He changed , in a very brave way , how he innovated many , many super important technologies ,” says the SVP .
“ If you look at Siemens today , we have more than US $ 60bn in revenue , we have more than 300,000 people all around the world that are very much driven by purpose , by inventing the big things that change the world for the better . We transform the everyday . One of the things we really want to enable though , is the move to a net-zero world ,” adds Bofinger-Schuster .
