From Bloomberg:
Siemens AG, Europe’s largest engineering company, aims to grow its sales from so-called green products designed to save energy to 40 billion euros ($55 billion) by 2014.
Revenue from environmental products totaled about 28 billion euros in the fiscal year through September, the company said in an e-mailed statement today. The company had previously targeted revenue of at least 25 billion euros by 2011.
Siemens’ competitor General Electric Co. said it will invest about $10 billion in environmentally friendly products by 2015 through his five-year-old “ecomagination” program. Connecticut-based GE has a revenue goal for the program of $20 billion by 2010, with $18 billion in sales generated last year.
“We want to -- and we will -- increase our advantage over our most important competitors,” Management Board member Barbara Kux said in the statement.We are fans:
