INTRODUCTION DEFINATION AND MEANING Inventory is a list of goods and materials, or those goods and materials themselves, held available in stock by a business. Inventory are held in order to manage and hide from the customer the fact that manufacture/supply delay is longer than delivery delay, and also to ease the effect of imperfections in the manufacturing process that lower production efficiencies if production capacity stands idle for lack of materials. The reasons for keeping stock All these stock reasons can apply to any owner or product stage. Buffer stock is held in individual workstations against the possibility that the upstream workstation may be a little delayed in providing the next item for processing. Whilst some processes carry very large buffer stocks, Toyota moved to one (or a few items) and has now moved to eliminate this stock type. Safety stock is held against process or machine failure in the hope/belief that the failure can be repaired before the stock runs out. This type of stock can be eliminated by programmes like Total Productive Maintenance Overproduction is held because the forecast and the actual sales did not match.

  • Siemens AG Governance & Markets Investor Relations GM IR 2 Werner-Von-Siemens-Str
    Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, We are very thankful for the possibility to introduce our viewpoints in the dialogue you have invited us to participate in. As a German Issuer, we are predominantly speaking for the German market with its highly developed and specific standards regarding share issuance request proposals. From our market perception, there is no particular need to reduce the applicable limit for general share issuances without preemptive rights from 20 percent to 10 percent in Germany, as there are no cases known to us where issuers have abused their authorizations to the disadvantage of their shareholders. As a general rule, issuers in Germany rely on § 186 para. 3 sentence 4 of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG), where there is a clear legal limit of 10 percent for cash capital increases without preemptive rights. Should the existing, well balanced system be additionally burdened by different rules in the European Policy, there will be mismatches between the 10 percent proposed by ISS and the 10 percent as stated in the law, not least due to the fact that most issuers have various authorizations for different types of Authorized Capital and Conditional Capital (in Germany primarily used for the issuance of convertible and warrant bonds) in place that customarily are not proposed in one AGM but in different AGMs with different authorization periods applicable as a result. One example may highlight this: in 2015 we exchanged bond with warrant units issued in 2012 under an authorization of 2010 in order to substitute warrants relating to Siemens and Osram shares with new warrants exclusively relating to Siemens shares under an authorization of 2015.

    SIEMENS ENERGY ANNUAL SHAREHOLDERS’ MEETING 2021 Christian Bruch President and Chief Executive Officer, Siemens Energy AG Munich, February 10, 2021 Check against delivery. Siemens Energy Annual Shareholders‘ Meeting 2021 Speech of the President and Chief Executive Officer Esteemed shareholders and viewers, investors, members of the Supervisory Board, and colleagues! I’d also like to greet the representatives of the Siemens family. My warm welcome to the first Annual Shareholders’ Meeting of Siemens Energy AG. On behalf of our Executive Board and our employees, I thank you for the trust you have placed in Siemens Energy. My thanks also go to our customers and partners. Since this is our first Annual Shareholders’ Meeting, I’d like to briefly explain the setup of Siemens Energy again before turning to my report on our past fiscal year. Afterwards, I’ll discuss the measures we are taking to improve profitability and then conclude with a few points on the medium- and long-term plans and orientation of Siemens Energy. Siemens Energy – What we stand for Siemens Energy is a young company with a long history. For some 155 years, our technologies have been contributing to the electrification of society, and we have been an independent company listed on the stock exchange for the past 136 days. Virtually no other company in the energy industry combines technologies, implementation expertise and reliability across the entire energy value chain like Siemens Energy. By embarking on our path to independence in 2020, we created an important prerequisite for addressing changes in the energy market so we can continue playing a leading role in shaping the future of energy supply.

It’s moved to the top of the agenda at The World Economic Forum. Sustainable investing assets are growing. And you see more CEOs and corporate policy experts advocating long-term thinking. Virtually everywhere I go there are discussions about the role asset owners and the world’s largest businesses have in society, and how we all should be measuring their performance in that context. Just a few years ago these topics didn’t really resonate beyond Scandinavia, parts of Asia and segments of the investment community. Now they’re pervasive. The rising prominence of environmental, social and governance, or ESG, issues and the market demand for greater insights about these matters make this Sustainability Yearbook more important than ever. This Yearbook stands out for another reason. It’s the first one published by S&P Global. 4 The Sustainability Yearbook 2020 We’re incredibly proud to have acquired We thank everyone who participates in RobecoSAM’s ESG Ratings and the CSA for their continued partnership.
