Report Highlights

The BMW Group has just published its Sustainable Value Report 2008. The new report clearly states the company’s position on sustainability and for the first time presents the key pillars of the sustainability strategy revised in spring 2009 to the public. Sustainability has been established Group-wide as a corporate target. All proposals must now be measured against this corporate goal. The BMW Group has also enhanced its sustainability organisation and established a Sustainability Board, comprising the entire Board of Management, at the highest management level.

The new Sustainable Value Report is classified as Application Level A - the highest ranking in the Global Reporting Initiative’s (GRI) international guidelines for sustainability reports.
The report was also produced in compliance with strict environmental standards. It is printed on 100 % recycled paper, and the carbon emissions generated through the production of the report have been offset. The report also conforms with the strict requirements of the Blue Angel environmental label.

The BMW Group’s leading role in corporate sustainability is also acknowledged by independent sources. In early September the BMW Group was once again named industry leader in the Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes, making it the most sustainable automobile company for the fifth consecutive year. And in the Carbon Disclosure Leadership Index published just a few days ago the BMW Group earned the highest number of points awarded in the automobile sector.
