The BMW Vehicle Footprint is primarily used as a transparency tool by BMW Group fleet customers. It provides information on a variety of sustainability aspects related to the vehicle: CO₂e emissions, climate impact, secondary raw material content and social responsibility.

On 24 May 2023, we met with key stakeholders from academia, the political sector, industry and NGOs in Berlin to discuss the BMW Vehicle Footprint, focusing on related KPIs and the methodology used to calculate them.

The valuable feedback this generated will be used in continuous further development of the Vehicle Footprint and will help the BMW Group improve its transparency efforts.

Participants in the discussion:

Prof. Helena Wisbert, Director, Center for Automotive Research

Prof. Matthias Finkbeiner, Chair of Sustainable Engineering, Technical University of Berlin

Christel Lieffring, head of Procurement, PwC

Dr. Thomas Becker, Vice-President, Sustainability, Mobility, BMW Group
