Im Dezember 2000 haben wir erstmals einen Corporate Citizenship Report veröffentlicht. Dieser Bericht hat bei den Lesern viel Beachtung gefunden. Wir wollten mit dieser Publikation den Dialog mit unseren Stakeholdern, also unseren Kunden, Lieferanten, Investoren, Mitarbeitern und der an Siemens interessierten Öffentlichkeit um ein wichtiges Thema, unser gesellschaftli- ches Engagement in aller Welt, erweitern. Der vorliegende Report 2001 setzt diesen Dialog in intensivierter Form fort. Selten haben sich binnen Jahresfrist die Rahmenbedingungen für unsere Aktivitäten so grundlegend geändert wie während der vergangenen zwölf Monate. Zu allen branchenspezifischen, konjunkturellen und weltwirtschaft- lichen Veränderungen kam im Herbst noch die Herausforderung durch den Terrorismus, die für die gesamte Welt einen tiefen Einschnitt markiert. Ohne dass wir heute bereits mit Gewissheit absehen können, worauf wir uns in nächster Zukunft einstellen müssen, ist doch eines sicher: Gerade in einer Zeit so umfassender Herausforderungen sind der gesellschaftliche Dialog und die verantwortungsvolle Ausübung unserer Rolle als Corporate Citizen wichtiger denn je.
