PEOPLE & SKILLS
Siemens operates a vast, decentralised global manufacturing network

When Siemens Malaysia opened its new headquarters in 2025, it also launched a collaboration with the Girl Guides Association Malaysia. The company is mentoring young women aged between 13 and 17 with access to hand-on workshops, engineering tools and software simulations.

“ This is about walking the talk,” said Tindaro Danze, President & CEO of Siemens Malaysia.“ The global battle for talent starts at home, and we must begin by breaking down outdated stereotypes – especially those that prevent girls from entering STEM careers.”
Carl Ennis, CEO of Siemens GB & I, wrote in a 2022 blog:“ Rather than simply focus on gender, our approach has been to change things from a‘ safety engineering’ perspective, being inclusive wherever possible and creating an environment in which everyone feels not only comfortable, but safe.” manufacturingdigtial. com 155
