Siemens - Service Campaign

Siemens employees were incredibly motivated by the Acts of Green initiative and worked to mobilize their coworkers and communities. In Boston, Siemens employees started a 501-c3 non-profit to use oysters to clean the waters of Boston Harbor. In Malvern, PA and Iselin, NJ, employees combined Take Your Child To Work Day with Earth Day celebrations to help educate their youth on how their day to day activities affect the environment.

To give aid to victims of the Haiti earthquake in an environmentally sound manner, Siemens donated 35 portable alternative energy generators each used to power 35 homes of 6 to 8 people, 30 skyhydrants serving 500 people each and 1320 flashlights.

Siemens businesses were also motivated to help make a difference. Siemens Corporate decided to push recycling in DC by converting a number of bus stations into recycling centers for the month of April. All Siemens advertisements, in print, on the web and on the radio, included Environmentally Friendly themes. The STEM academy, a Science, Technology, Engineering and Math education partnership between the Siemens Foundation and Discovery, produced a live webinar: Earth Day: Celebrating Our Past and Future Efforts to Conserve Our Oceans Presented by Philippe Cousteau. They received participation from over 20,000 students.

Siemens employees and participants completed a total of 789,041 Acts of Green for Earth Day 2010!
