Our Focus.

To fulfil our considerable responsibility towards the environment, we are constantly seeking and finding new ways to reduce CO₂ emissions – and to continue driving company-wide climate protection. Although the BMW Group is already the benchmark in the automotive sector, with innovative CO2 reduction at its own plants and sites, we continue to set ourselves new reduction targets. The BMW Group is targeting further reductions in CO₂ emissions from 2019 levels by 2030 – throughout the entire lifecycle, from the supply chain, through production, to the end of the use phase.

Humans extract more than 100 billion tonnes of raw materials worldwide every year. At the BMW Group, sustainability therefore begins with the use of materials. Every time we think about using resources, we ask ourselves: How much do we need and what do we intend to use it for? Are there any better solutions? Whenever possible, we use high-quality secondary material and are committed to an effective circular economy. In 2020, the BMW Group was able to recycle or recover a total of 99.1% of waste from production. Systematic recycling enables us to substantially reduce our carbon footprint in procurement and production – in some cases, by up to a sixth, depending on the material.

People from more than 110 countries work side by side at the BMW Group. Our diversity makes us stronger – since our success is based on individuality and the personal commitment of each and every associate. We provide our employees with sustainable jobs and the conditions they need for personal growth and to participate in shaping the future.
