Siemens Energy Abolishes US Women’s Quota Under Trump Order

Siemens Energy says the quota removal complies with Executive Order 14173 targeting diversity programs.

Overview

  • The company ended its US women’s leadership quota after President Trump’s January Executive Order 14173 barred certain DEI measures.
  • The targets had aimed to raise women’s representation in the first and second management levels in the US to 25% by 2025 and 30% by 2030.
  • Before the change, women made up about 24% of those leadership tiers globally, including US figures.
  • Siemens Energy insists that removing the quota will not alter its commitment to diversity or disadvantage female employees.
  • The firm is reviewing whether to adjust diversity goals in other markets and reported a 22.4% revenue increase and 57.2% rise in US orders in the first half of 2025.
