Responsibility and Sustainability.

The BMW iX3 sets standards in terms of product sustainability across its lifecycle – with a focus on decarbonisation and resource conservation.

With the BMW iX3, we have been able to reduce CO₂e emissions from the supply chain by 35 percent. We did it by using renewable energy and around one-third secondary materials, but also through product and process innovations. The Gen6 battery cells in the high-voltage battery, for example, comprise 50 percent secondary cobalt, lithium and nickel. The entire vehicle was systematically developed according to the principle of „Design for Circularity“.

The new BMW Group plant in Debrecen, Hungary, where the BMW iX3 will be made,  was designed and, built to the BMW iFactory blueprint. It is our first vehicle plant to offer fossil fuel-free regular operations. 

Thanks to our holistic sustainability approach, customers opting for the BMW iX3 50 xDrive will achieve a smaller CO₂e footprint than in a similar car with a combustion engine within just one year of driving.

The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are the centrepiece of the Agenda 2030, the UN’s global action plan for a liveable future. We firmly believe that as a company, we can make a major contribution to achieving the SDGs, especially numbers 3, 8, 9, 12 and 13.
