It takes a 360-degree approach to drive decarbonisation effectively across a supply chain – as BMW Group is showing.
The BMW Group has a clear strategy for decarbonisation: by 2030, it wants to reduce CO2 emissions by 40% per vehicle across the entire value chain compared to 2019.
With the ramp-up of electromobility at BMW Group, the focus of CO2 emissions is shifting, more specifically, towards the supply chain. The company already offers 25 fully electric models across 12 model series. By 2030, one in two new cars made by BMW Group will have a fully electric drivetrain.
The production of high-voltage batteries that are used in these models is both resource-intensive and CO2-intensive. Therefore, as Hendrik Lang, Senior Vice President Strategy, Digitalisation and Sustainability, at the Purchasing and Supplier Network, emphasises at London Climate Action Week 2024, the supply chain plays a crucial role in driving BMW Group’s decarbonisation strategy forward.
