Munich 16 March 2016. The BMW Group has released its new Sustainable Value Report 2015 to coincide with its Annual Accounts Press Conference on 16 March 2016.
The BMW Group is firmly committed to the United Nations’ Global Compact and has implemented its ten principles at all locations since 2001. The company reports annually on its sustainability strategy, goals and progress in its extensive Sustainable Value Report.
Harald Krüger, Chairman of the Board of Management of BMW AG: “Our actions are aimed at shaping the mobility of the future and securing our leading position as a successful company. We have set ourselves concrete sustainability targets we aim to meet by 2020. Last year, once again, our projects and the measures we implemented brought us a good deal closer to these goals.”
Selected facts from the Sustainable Value Report 2015:
- With its Efficient Dynamics strategy, the BMW Group has lowered the CO2 emissions of its worldwide fleet by 39.5 per cent from 1995 levels.
- Thanks to its Clean Production concept, the BMW Group has reduced resource consumption at its plants by an average of 48.1 per cent since 2006, saving the company more than 158 million euros.
- The company increased the percentage of electricity it obtains from renewable sources to 58 per cent in 2015.
- The BMW Group invested a total of 352 million euros in employee skills in 2015. Expenditure for vocational and professional training was therefore around five per cent higher than the previous year.
The BMW Group’s Sustainable Value Report is now available for download at www.bmwgroup.com/svr. The Report was prepared in accordance with the guidelines of the Global Reporting Initiative (G4). All data, facts and qualitative statements in the Report were verified by independent auditor PriceWaterhouseCoopers.
