Writing about this year’s Systems Integrator of the Year compelled me to look into a concept and program that I initially knew very little about — corporate sustainability. SDM is proud to present, in this issue beginning on page 50, Siemens Security Solutions business unit as its 2010 Systems Integrator of the Year. The security solutions group is part of the Building Technologies Division of Siemens Industry Inc., under Siemens AG.
Siemens AG was ranked the best company in its class this year in the Dow Jones and SAM sustainability ranking, capturing the No. 1 spot in the Diversified Industrials sector of the Sustainability World Index (DJSI). It has been ranked on the index for 11 consecutive years. “We consistently rank at the top of that list because of the compliance programs that we now have in place,” Carey Boethel, vice president and business unit head – Security Solutions, told SDM.
