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.

Supporting and developing our employees is a key aspect of sustainability for us. Lifelong learning is therefore an integral part of everyday working life at the BMW Group. This includes numerous training opportunities, particularly in fields of innovation such as digitalisation and electrification.

Celebrating International Biodiversity Day.

On Monday the 22nd of May – International Biodiversity Day – we greened the area around our office with green TV gardener Lodewijk Hoekstra and Tom van de Beek and his pollinators. The aim was to ensure a more biodiverse environment, which benefits bees and other pollinators.
