Equal Opportunities.

We are proud to have colleagues from over 110 different nations on our teams worldwide and 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. 

We are committed to achieving gender balance at every level of our organisation. We promote equal opportunities with initiatives such as parental coaching, joint leadership and equal pay. Our women’s networks and partnerships encourage exchange and support. We also collaborate closely with external organisations, further strengthening our commitment.

Longer careers – starting earlier and retiring later – mean our colleagues are spending more of their lives with us, and today, four generations work together successfully at BMW. We foster intergenerational collaboration to encourage valuable exchange and unlock the full potential of our talent. In addition, our company health management programmes and flexible working time models help our people plan their careers according to their individual life stages.

It is our mission to offer colleagues with physical or mental disabilities 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. 

Together, we foster a positive, respectful and open working environment in which everyone is welcome – regardless of sexual orientation or identity. We send a clear message to the outside world too: we are a member of the PROUT EMPLOYER network of the Prout at Work Foundation and have signed the “UN Standards of Conduct for Business for Tackling Discrimination against LGBTI People”.
