Siemens AG and Siemens Healthineers AG donate €200,000 for earthquake victims in Myanmar and Thailand

• Immediate humanitarian assistance from Siemens AG and Siemens Healthineers AG
• Internal call for donations: companies to match every euro donated by their people
• Siemens Caring Hands e.V. supports relief organizations on the ground

Siemens AG and Siemens Healthineers AG have each provided €100,000 in immediate assistance to mitigate the suffering of earthquake victims in Myanmar and Thailand and to support rescue efforts. In addition, both companies have called on the people they employ to make donations. Every euro contributed as part of this donation drive will be matched.

“Our thoughts are with the victims, with their families, with all those affected. We want to help. And – together with Siemens Healthineers – we’re making €200,000 available as immediate assistance. This is the first step. Our non-profit organization Siemens Caring Hands e.V. is currently determining how and where we can provide additional help,” said Peter Koerte, member of the Managing Board of Siemens AG, Chief Technology Officer and Chief Strategy Officer.

“Social engagement is deeply anchored at Siemens and has shaped our actions for over 177 years. This also means providing quick and pragmatic support to people in need as a result of disasters, such as the victims of the severe earthquake in Myanmar and Thailand,” added Judith Wiese, member of the Managing Board of Siemens AG and Chief People and Sustainability Officer.

Through the non-profit organization Siemens Caring Hands e.V., donations are made available to selected relief organizations. These organizations then use the money to provide local aid measures in response to disasters. Measures range from tents, accommodation and technical support to food, drinking water and basic medical care.
