Dr. Staubitzer, Global Chief Procurement Officer of Siemens, made a surprise appearance in Shanghai. In his opening remarks, Dr. Staubitzer expressed his gratitude to Chinese suppliers and mentioned the certainty of sustainable development in the midst of various global uncertainties.
Only by working closely with our partners along the value chain and learning from each other can we achieve sustainable development and enhance the impact of sustainable development together!
He also shared the stage with leaders from Shennan Circuit and DHL Zero Carbon Pioneer Excellence Awards to discuss the opportunities and challenges on the road to carbon reduction in the supply chain.
Ms. Ma Qing, Executive Vice President of Siemens China, Director of Talent and Organizational Development in Greater China and Head of Sustainability, joined supply chain management and supplier representatives to launch the Supply Chain Partnership Academy and launch the 2024 Zero Carbon Pioneer Award.
The transition to sustainable development is about everyone and needs to be carried out together with ecology. That's why we've launched the Zero Carbon Pioneer Award to encourage and recognize partners who have demonstrated excellence in driving the green transition. This year, we continue to call on more supplier partners to join us, share technological innovation and industry experience, inspire each other and work together for sustainable development!
Mr. Michael Haendel, Vice President of Siemens China and Head of Regional Supply Chain Management for China, Asia and Australia, delivered a keynote speech on "Accelerating Sustainable, Ecological Future".
Sustainable development is not a burden but a competitive advantage. We call on suppliers not only to focus on reducing carbon in their own operations, but also to join hands with upstream and downstream partners to build ecology and accelerate the process of decarbonization!
In order to further empower partners, Siemens Supply Chain launched the SCM Academy at this conference.
As a one-stop learning center, the Partner Academy will rely on Siemens Xcelerator, an open digital business platform, to build a free and shared knowledge base on the proprietary Supplier Support page (SCM Xcelerator) launched last year, covering Siemens' expertise in various industries, white papers, sustainability training courses, and more. Partners' case studies are also provided.
Through co-creation with suppliers, ecological partners are empowered to drive sustainable development across the value chain.
