In its sixth Sustainable Value Report the BMW Group details how the company puts corporate sustainability into practice. The focus of the new report is on climate protection and the reduction of CO2 emissions. Further topics include innovative environmentally-friendly production methods and sustainability management within the BMW Group. Information on human resources policies and the company’s social activities illustrates how the BMW Group’s commitment actively defines the general framework.
In developing the report, approximately 200 of the BMW Group’s stakeholders around the world were surveyed as to their concerns and their assessment of the company’s commitment to sustainability. The focus of the new Sustainable Value Report 2007/2008 and the topics covered are derived directly from the results of this survey.
The BMW Group’s Sustainable Value Report consistently follows the established international guidelines for sustainability reports set out by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). The report is available in German and English; with French, Italian, Chinese and Japanese versions to follow by November. The report may be ordered by email from [email protected].
