Siemens is at the forefront of "sustainability"; a political ideology that is global in scope and widespread in influence buying/selling/trading.
Connected with "Communitarianism", look for an example in your town, village, rural area.
My best guess is that Siemens and affiliates are doing real world testing of political power and corporate enforcement results as relates to market exposure and public opinion.
Purely political. Safety shmafety....
In Lyman's considered opinion....
