Equal Opportunities.

PASSION KNOWS NO BOUNDARIES.

For us, different perspectives and talents are key to our success. Just as our customers, suppliers, investors and partners around the globe are unique, so too are our teams – bringing fresh energy every day and putting a smile on our customers’ faces.

What's it like to work at the BMW Group?

Our commitment.

Different perspectives and talents are the foundation of our success, driving our innovation and competitiveness. This is why we not only support numerous initiatives internally, but also partner with external organisations.

CULTURAL BACKGROUND.

We actively encourage cultural exchange. The variety of cultures within our workforce not only helps us to better understand the specific needs of our customers in different markets and to align our products accordingly, but it also enables us to respond quickly and flexibly to new demands.

PHYSICAL AND MENTAL ABILITIES.

It is our mission to offer an inclusive and barrier-free working environment. We want all talents to feel comfortable and to bring their unique perspectives to creative processes. Not least through digitalisation, we are improving working conditions for colleagues with disabilities. 

Multifaceted Insights.

We promote a respectful behaviour within the company. Discrimination in any form has no place at the BMW Group. Through targeted campaigns, we actively emphasise in our external communications our commitment to creating a work environment where every employee can realise their full potential.

INTERNATIONAL DAY OF SIGN LANGUAGE.

It is about what we say, not how. In order to create ideal working conditions, we ensure that all colleagues feel comfortable and are able to be part of creative processes – also the ones that can't speak or hear.
