30.6.2020 Munich. In large companies especially have a very important role when it comes to the topic of sustainability. Already many years ago the BMW Group was adopted. Therefore, the company, the industry compared to other manufacturers as well as the following values from CO2 emissions per vehicle produced.
Producing in a sustainable manner with the vehicle drive concepts, as rise as the new e-drive changes the perspective. BMW chairman Oliver Jump idea in an interview about the ambitious goals of the BMW Group, and where in the future will focus on the topic of sustainability.

Mr. jump if Bass since its first appearance in a BMW at the IAA, the climate and stress the importance of protecting the environment. Now almost a year in office and the world, are shown as an unprecedented crisis. This is how long it takes to sustainability?
Corona epidemic threw the world economy in a very short period the train. This way, of course, is an important segment in a number of projects at the same time in the case of BMW. However, is clear: sustainability, when it comes to Environmental Protection, never will not compromise. The subject is very important to the future of our society. Need, especially in difficult times such means that will also increase the number of repetitions and the impact the right course.
What exactly does this mean? The BMW Group set itself targets for reducing emissions to 2020.
– For example, a company directly related to the consumption of resources and emissions we produce, production. And so we have been very successful: – 70 percent more than 40 percent per vehicle produced reduce energy consumption, waste and CO2 emissions reduced. CO2 emissions per vehicle produced approximately We clearly below the values of the rest of the German automobile industry, so the fact that it is not a coincidence. In short: last year we met almost all targets. We were able to begin to develop a sustainability strategy for the future early completely new, that’s why.
And it looks like?
Today is the last day before official decisions are taken to not reveal all the details I want. But I would say that this approach is radical integrity: the more, and we’ll draw attention to the issue of sustainability to a whole new level. What our claim remains the same: the US is a verifiable event. Therefore, we’ll do it again-clear and measurable goals – but this time directly to the effect transcends beyond our borders.
As a concrete example, give us, but you must.
For an effective contribution to climate protection, recycling of resources you need to improve the ecological footprint of our products. More e-mobility continues, more just energy-high voltage memory-intensive production will shift the focus of the value chain in the direction of CO2 reduction. Only in the case of CO2 in a fully electric vehicle for 40 percent of emissions in the production of battery cells has been eliminated. And, directly from the manufacturer due to electricity consumption and rectangular cell approximately one-third of the electricity mix depending on the location of production. So right here’s where we come in, this is an important and effective lever for reducing CO2 emissions.
How’s the job? The BMW Group itself do not produce a cell.
Sustainability as a leader, our words and also with large suppliers, we use this flour to the weight of the battery cells. Now the fifth generation of the battery cells, to produce electricity that you use only Yesil we made an agreement with mobile manufacturers. Let’s get on the road with this BMW i4 iX3 the next year, and then roll our product range such as technology BMW and BMW for the next year as the next. Yesil to provide an increasing volume of the use of force, over the next ten years, 10 million tons of CO2 will be around. For comparison: in Munich, a city of roughly a million people a year like this, the amount of CO2 it is emitting.
So, the only supplier in the reduction of CO2 does it work?
Works in the interaction of manufacturers and suppliers. Just ahead, we go alone when we can move a step to continue as such a role model for our partners. With our new strategy in a very clear way what we do. And here and now our achievements, the importance of the subject is this: that we are fully on track to meet the targets within the EU, resources and CO2 emission in addition to the significant reduction in consumption. underline and all of the BMW Group for the first time this year running from renewable energy sources, plants and facilities, our joint venture in China, like the BBA, you’ll acquire more electricity. Announcements we know our partners don’t leave the distant future. We deliver and will continue to do so.
Continue to provide public how can we confirm?
So far this sustainability report went on here, and starting next year, our Annual Report, we take the issue of sustainability, which will be integrated to the next step. In the past, so we can do our sustainability business model and sustainability activities even more comprehensive external and independent review on the basis of non-obvious is a sign only.
