Siemens Gamesa already has a strong learning culture in place, with more than 600 internal trainers that volunteer to train peers, so the foundation and learning culture are already strongly embedded. The Company logged 747,008 training hours in FY22 (554,870 hours in FY21). The increase in training hours resulted from both the implementation of a standard learning platform and also from an increased focus on Siemens Gamesa-specific learning activities. The digitization of training content is a decisive success factor as it facilitates the immediacy of training materials, making them available to more people and in a more flexible way

Siemens Gamesa is actively working on the RecyclableBlade concept, the first recyclable rotor blade for commercial offshore use. The use of a recyclable resin makes it possible to separate the materials from the blade at the end of its service life and recycle them for new applications. The first such blades were installed at the Kaskasi offshore wind farm at the Kaskasi offshore wind farm. In FY22, the RecyclableBlade solution was also launched for the onshore portfolio. Another clear example of Siemens Gamesa's commitment to full product recyclability is its support for WindEurope's call to ban rotor blade landfill in Europe by 2025. Additionally, to sustainably manage the blades already installed, Siemens Gamesa participates in the DecomBlades consortium, which is a cross-sector wind turbine blade recycling project. In general, Siemens Gamesa advocates for industry-wide international standards on product decommissioning and recycling instead of specific national regulations.
