LOOKING TOWARDS THE FUTURE.
Our vehicles and their production show how we view our responsibility as a company in these areas. At BMW, we recognise our responsibility for the environments in which we operate and have committed to reducing the environmental impact of our products over their entire lifecycle.

BMW i5: Energy consumption, combined WLTP in miles/kWh: 3.3 - 3.8; Electric range, WLTP in miles: 312-357[1]
RECYCLING RATHER THAN DISPOSAL.
Fishing nets.
We continue to innovate and introduce recycled materials in our cars. For example, the new BMW iX features floor mats that incorporate Econyl – a regenerated nylon product made entirely from recycled fishing nets and carpets.
Plastics recycling.
Recycled materials are used in many components of a BMW. The plastic in our cars is not yet all recycled but we are working towards it while maintaining the quality of our vehicles.
Cactus fibres.
In cooperation with start-up companies, the BMW Group is developing innovative bio-based surfaces. The newly developed Deserttex™, for instance, is made up of pulverised cactus fibres and a bio-based polyurethane matrix.

BMW TAKES RESPONSIBILITY.
Sustainability covers many aspects at BMW: from the inspection of our supply chains through to support for external programmes, we do everything to keep our ecological footprint as small as possible.
BMW Sustainability programmes.
The BMW Group is the first German model producer to join “Business Ambition for 1.5 °C”. This includes our commitment to climate neutrality along the value-added chain until 2050. As a consequence, we are automatically a member of the UN “Race to Zero” programme. On the other hand, our long-standing membership of the “United Nations Environmental Programme” is yet another indication of how seriously the BMW Group takes sustainability.
Cobalt for Development.
The BMW Group seeks to bring cobalt mining and processing in line with its sustainability and internationally applicable labour standards. To this end, the BMW Group, together with a number of other partners, established 2018 the cross-industry initiative Cobalt for Development in order to improve the labour and living conditions of workers in small-scale cobalt mining in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Supply chain management and logistics.
A multi-stage process secures our responsibility for the supplier network within all relevant divisions of the BMW group. Among the divisions in which we have introduced specifications for social and environmental standards are energy usage, logistics and the development of components, as well as in the contract-awarding process as a decision-making criterion as well as in supplier development. In order to implement these environmental and social standards, we are co-creators of the Responsible Supply Chain Initiative (RSCI) founded for this purpose and today we are already relying on electric trucks to supply the plants in some cases and are supporting initiatives aimed at organising the sea transport of vehicles to generate fewer emissions.
[1]These figures were obtained after the battery had been fully charged. There is a new test for fuel consumption, CO2 and electric range figures. The electric range shown was achieved using the new test procedure. Figures shown are for comparability purposes. Only compare fuel consumption, CO2 and electric range figures with other cars tested to the same technical procedures. These figures may not reflect real life driving results, which will depend upon a number of factors including the starting charge of the battery, accessories fitted (post-registration), variations in weather, driving styles and vehicle load.
