SUSTAINABILITY.

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 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. 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.

TALKING TO SUSTAINABILITY EXPERTS.

Sustainability is a complex issue. Many aspects play a role in how and where sustainability is successfully implemented. Experts from different fields talk about their jobs, their idea of a sustainable world and where the BMW Group currently stands: What are the challenges we face? What new solutions are there? And how do we successfully approach sustainable development and protect our environment?
