Now will you amplify your impact by posting on their Facebook page?
Siemens is a global brand and is very sensitive to public criticism.
Comment on any Siemens’ post, asking them to rule out working with Adani (the post where Siemens shares their dream to 'make cities more livable, industry more efficient and society more sustainable' would be a good one to comment on – that vision doesn’t align with supporting coal projects, does it?!)
Tips for your Facebook comment:
-
Keep it short and punchy – people (including from Siemens!) are more likely to read a shorter post than a really long one
-
Have a clear ask – ask Siemens to rule out working with Adani
-
Make it personal – after all, this is your message to Siemens! Make it unique to you. You might want to share why you care about stopping projects that will fuel climate damage, like Adani, and protecting our planet
You can also click ‘like’ on other people’s comments to show your support.
Not on Facebook? Still want to take action?
You can give Siemens' offices a call and leave a message for their CEO and senior management!

So disappointing that a German company would behave so poorly by enabling the Adani mine which is going to be so destructive to our country’s environment and consequently the world’s environment. Shame on you.
The Adani coal mine wouldn’t be allowed in Germany.
Why is Siemens supporting it in my country, Australia?

Withdraw from helping Adani! Our climate is already at crisis level with the worst drought on record and 100s of bushfires causing carnage and spreading smoke for miles, sending our air pollution sky high!
Stop helping dirty Adani!!
I wrote a condemning message that I unfortunately failed to copy
Really bad Siemens! Obviously your company puts money before the environment, regardless of your apparent advertised position re CO2 emissions and the reduction in the use of fossil fuels. It is not possible to justify this decision at a time when the world’s environment is at a critical tipping point and I hope that companies that use your products now look elsewhere. Shame on you Siemens.
Please reconsider working with Adani and their greed, instead consider how you can stop climate change and save our planet for our, and our childrens’ future.
Australians will boycott everything and anything Siemens touches! The decision to help Adani will be your companies demise!
All the money in the world will be nothing if we have no world. Siemens, have courage, withdraw from Adani.

Unbelievable!!
I urge you not to support the Adani coal mine in Queensland. By doing so, you will be complicit in the destruction of a liveable climate!
Don’t let your company or it’s entities be associated in any way with the carbon polluting, Adani Mine.
In November this year, in the Oxford publications journal Bioscience issued a warning that the world was facing a ‘climate emergency’. This warning was signed by 11,000 scientists from over 300 countries. Later that month, in fact just a couple of weeks ago, an article appeared in the highly respected journal Nature warning about the very real dangers of ‘tipping points’ – stating that that ‘the growing threat of abrupt and irreversible climate changes must compel political and economic action on emissions’ . What are you thinking doing deals with Adani? Congratulations, you’ve just gone ‘on the nose’ globally.
Disappointing. Your blog reads like Adani propaganda.
No doubt your claims will be tested by those who have the resources to ‘fact check’, but in the meantime I wish to record my opposition to your proposed actions.
You appear to be ignorant of the lack of banking & insurance support for the Adani project. The reason big business is opposed is because of the groundwater & aquafier implications, pollution risk to the Great Barrier Reef, Adani breaching the temporary pollution permits it received from the provincial state government & worst of all its trampling if local Indidenous concerns.
Just because the two mainstream political parties favour the Adani mine does not mean the Australian population favours it. The Australian Vote Compass showed that 61% of Australians strongly disagree or somewhat disagree in a representative sample of 119,682. (Matt Wordsworth, ABC News, 16 May 2019,, cited 12 December 2019.)
Yours sincerely,

Australia is turning against new fossil fuel development. Siemens should get with the agenda
Sorry to know that Siemens has taken the pathetic stance of supporting the Adani coal mine, taking the easy money where other ethical companies have walked away. Anyone with a moral compass and view to the future would not be a part of this. The reputational loss to Seimens will be apparent as the world deteriorates with the help of your efforts.
Adani must be stopped! Please sign
I am asking you, respectfully, NOT to work with Adani.
Please Siemens, you are better than this.
Dear Siemens, It’s so disappointing that while other big corporations are considering their legacy for future generations and acting with some moral fibre, Siemens appears to have sold out. Who wants to have nothing to do a company apparently so venal and motivated by greed alone? Millions of us I’d say.
I quoted …
“Bad news. Siemens Australia has signed on to install the rail signalling for Adani’s climate-wrecking mine.
Only a few companies can do this work and, other than Siemens, they have all refused. Adani could have been left in the lurch. But Siemens are propping up Adani and its mine.’
I then asked their CEO to reconsider becoming an accomplice to the destruction of our future
This is what I wrote.
Extremely disappointed in your signing the contract with Adani.
Have you seen the news on Australia’s extremes bushfire and drought situation? This mine will be taking our precious water, from humans and wildlife.
Every other company have said no to helping build their train line but you have gone and said yes.
You are short sighted, and will be actively contributing to wosening extremes of weather. Do not support Adani. I will be telling as many people as possible to boycot anything to do with your company
Shame on you Siemens for supporting Adani…such a dirty and polluting industry.
Shame on you Siemens.
Adani is a company that has a long history of environmental destruction, regulatory non-compliance and other illegal activity, including bribery of government officials, unauthorised construction and tax evasion.
Regardless of Siemens empty and self-congratulatory words regarding contributions to reduce CO2 emissions worldwide, by agreeing to provide signalling systems for the Adani Carmichael Coal Mine in Queensland, Siemens has unequivocally demonstrated that they are part of the ongoing climate change problem, and not a part the solution at all.
