SUSTAINABILITY AT THE BMW GROUP.
Shaping the individual and sustainable mobility of the future and making a real difference with our work is not only our passion, but our daily drive!
Embedded in the BMW Group sustainability strategy, our long-term goal is therefore to act in a more sustainable and climate-friendly way at all levels: ecology, economy and social. To achieve this goal, the continuous development of sustainable solutions is a matter of course for us. Thus, we not only work on sustainability along the value chain and manufacture our products with a special focus on electromobility, but also attach great importance to our social responsibility.
Because sustainability is not just a trend for us – we take responsibility here and now and take sustainability to a new level.
And all of this can only be realised thanks to our courageous and passionate team. A team that, with its own joy in its work, strives every day anew for innovation, transformation and progress.
