Here's what sets the BMW Group apart.

Fascination. At the BMW Group, it’s a global phenomenon. Formed by our products and technologies, but also by our innovativeness, pioneering spirit and visionary thinking, we have positioned ourselves as the market leader. We see the challenges we face as a privilege – because to us, driving technological transformation and developing new solutions for personal mobility are an opportunity: they are a chance to maintain a long-term focus on sustainability and enhance our culture of appreciation and equality. After all, it’s our people and their passion and commitment that will lead our organisation into the future.

Environment Standards.

At the BMW Group, following and delivering on environmental standards is paramount. We have a range of measures in place to ensure regulations are adhered to across the board – by our suppliers as well as every one of our production sites worldwide. The conservation of natural resources and recycling are among our top priorities, and we work constantly to deliver on them by redefining our environmental standards and multistage due diligence processes.

Human Rights.

Human rights are something we should not just uphold but also champion and increasingly focus on through projects and initiatives. With our various campaigns across the globe, we are committed to acting in line with our social standards. We also work with our partners to support the development and promotion of projects and ensure human rights are rigorously safeguarded along the global supply and value chains.

Dialogues.

When it comes to future mobility, new and innovative perspectives are needed as we work together to come up with personal solutions. We work with various stakeholders and concepts to create space for exchanges within the BMW Group, with in-house and external experts, progressive personalities and unique points of view. Because that way, we can turn different ways of thinking and ideas into new solutions.
