The BMW Group is to significantly reduce its carbon footprint by 2030 by researching and developing innovative materials. There is a particular focus on renewable raw materials and recycled materials.
The BMW Group is relying more intensively than ever before on new, forward-looking and resource-saving materials in the fight against climate change. This represents an important element of the BMW Group’s unprecedented sustainability strategy. The BMW Group aims to meet its own extremely ambitious climate targets by drastically reducing its carbon footprint per vehicle by 2030. This is driving forward the use of secondary materials with the introduction of the “Neue Klasse” and intensifying the research and development of sustainable materials and substances used in vehicles.
The BMW Group’s view is that only a holistic approach to proven and new materials can reduce CO2 emissions permanently and sustainably. This is why the BMW Group is not only pushing ahead with the successful development of a market for secondary materials, but is also intensifying its cooperation with innovative start-ups in future-oriented materials.
