BMW Group Report 2020

SUSTAINABILITY ISN’T JUST
SOMETHING WE DO AT BMW:
WE ARE MAKING BMW SUSTAINABLE.

OLIVER ZIPSE

At the BMW Group, our ability to combine driving pleasure with sustainable development is a clear differentiating factor.

Sustainability is firmly anchored at the core of our corporate strategy. We consider the environmental and social impacts, as well as economic aspects, in our activities and planning from the beginning.

OLIVER ZIPSE
CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF MANAGEMENT

We take an INTEGRATED approach to decision-making. Our customers are sure to experience highly innovative and emotional products. This is what the BMW Group stands for, as a company that thinks and acts in a sustainable manner.

WE BELIEVE TECHNOLOGY IS THE KEY TO MEETING OUR ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND BEING SUCCESSFUL AND PROFITABLE AS A COMPANY.
OLIVER ZIPSE

Our consistent sustainable development gives us a competitive edge.

In 2012, we set ourselves ten strategic SUSTAINABILITY GOALS UP TO 2020PDF. Today, we are able to say: mission accomplished. Between 1995 and 2020, we reduced the CO2 emissions of our European new vehicle fleet by more than half. Our plants worldwide source only green power for production. The percentage of women in management at the company is within our target range.

SUSTAINABILITY TARGETS 2020 ACHIEVED.
THREE EXAMPLES:

We are committed to the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement and have set ourselves concrete, science-based TARGETS FOR 2030PDF:

The aim is to reduce CO2 emissions per vehicle by at least a third throughout their lifecycle – through innovation, rather than offsets.

Specifically, we will be lowering CO2 emissions from production by 80%, during the use phase by more than 40% and in the supply chain by at least 20%. Without corrective measures, growth in e-mobility would, in fact, increase supply chain CO2 emissions by about a third by 2030. We are reversing this trend and lowering emissions.

NICOLAS PETER

ON THE INTEGRATED REPORT

In 2020, we demonstrated our ability to act quickly and flexibly under highly volatile conditions. A consistent cost management in the first half of the year created the necessary conditions for us to capitalize on the market recovery in the second half of the year. We increased earnings – proving to our stakeholders that we are a reliable partner.

Our perspective is always long-term, with decisions aimed at creating sustainable value based on profitability and through growth.

Despite continued volatility and an environment impacted by the pandemic, we expect to see an upward trend in business development in the financial year 2021.
