Siemens

Siemens was established in the United Kingdom 165 years ago. Today it employs over 20,000 people in the UK, including 6,000 in the manufacturing sector. Last year's revenues were £3.6 billion, including exports of £873 million, with almost £70 million invested into research and development. As a leading global engineering company, Siemens continues to provide innovative solutions to help tackle the world's major challenges, across key industrial sectors of energy, industry and healthcare.

Siemens has developed a series of best practice procedures which collectively creates a systematic energy plan leading to a virtuous circle of reduced costs, lower emissions, improved profitability and enhanced shareholder value. The development and implementation of a formal energy plan can offer industry and commerce a real competitive advantage via:

" Reduced energy and utility costs (typically 5 - 40%)

" Simplified regulatory compliance

" Systematic measuring and monitoring tools

" Optimised management and control systems

" Innovative financing solutions

The implementation of a systematic energy plan can help mitigate against rising energy costs, deliver real competitive advantage and safeguard margin and profit erosion.
