Performance and Portfolio
Our portfolio policies are based on the principle that all our businesses must capture and maintain No. 1
and No. 2 positions in profitable high-growth markets. For we know from experience that only
businesses with leading positions in their markets are also profitable in times of crisis and can generate
the profits we need to continue financing the R&D outlays and portfolio-strengthening measures
indispensable to maintaining a competitive edge.
Most of our businesses are already in leading positions in stable high-growth fields. Focusing on the
three Sectors;
Industry
Energy
Healthcare
will enable us to profit from the major developments taking place in the world today: increasing
urbanization, demographic change and climate change.
Our portfolio priorities are clearly defined. To ensure strict resource allocation also in the future, we’re
concentrating on organic growth, the further streamlining of our portfolio and selective investments.
With our new three-Sector structure, we’ve taken a major step toward further sharpening our focus and
streamlining our portfolio. We’re going to continue implementing this strategy and closely examine our
businesses in regard to their strategic and financial fit in their respective Sectors.
Of course, we’ll continue to invest selectively to enhance our competitiveness and augment our
portfolio. However, every investment must meet rigorous financial requirements and support our overall
goal of further increasing Siemens’ long-term value.
