You can save the most
resources where they are
used – at your home
Environmental protection starts at
home, since cooking and refrigeration
consume 39%* of the total energy used
in a common household. Of the 130

dishes. The use of new energy-saving
appliances can make a difference here,
for the environment and against the
inexorably rising cost of living.

Siemens’ technical innovations make
possible top efficiency and
performance alike. Our appliances
are at the top of EU energy savings
classifications and some are much
better. As a sign of their especially low
energy consumption, the best Siemens
appliances show the eco
+
logo. That
makes it easier to identify the most
energy-efficient appliances when
you’re shopping, to help you save
money and the environment.
The population is
growing. Unfortunately,
our resources are not
Today the world is home to over
7 billion people. They watch TV, cook,
heat, bathe, wash, and refrigerate.
Each of them uses electricity and
naturally also raw materials like water.
The population continues to grow,
and with it the demand for energy
and drinking water. Yet already over
1 billion do not have access to clean
water, and that number is rising. Thus,
saving resources only makes sense.
Ideas for more efficiency.
