The BMW Group has been named the
world’s most sustainable automotive company for the eighth
consecutive year in the ranking published today by the SAM Group for
the Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes (DJSI). Among the three
automotive industry enterprises listed each year, the BMW Group is
the only one to feature in the renowned index every year for the past
14 years.
“We strongly believe that
sustainability is a key factor in the long-term economic success of
the BMW Group. For that reason, we are delighted to be recognised
once again by the Dow Jones Sustainability Index. We are proud to be
the sector leader in this important ranking for the eighth
consecutive year– at the same time, it motivates us to continue to
be a pioneer in corporate sustainability in the future,” said
Norbert Reithofer, Chairman of the Board of Management of BMW AG.
Sustainability is firmly embedded in
the BMW Group’s culture and corporate strategy. In 2001, the BMW
Group committed itself to the United Nations Environment Programme,
the UN Global Compact and the Cleaner Production Declaration. It was
also the first company in the automotive industry to appoint an
environmental officer back in 1973. Today, the Sustainability Board,
comprising all members of the Board of Management, defines the
strategic alignment through binding targets.
The positive rating in the Dow Jones
Sustainability Index marks the second occasion in a week that the
company has been recognised for its commitment to sustainability. The
BMW Group was also listed in the Global 500 Leadership Index
published yesterday by the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), achieving
its all-time best score. With 99 of 100 possible points, the BMW
Group is not only sector leader but is also among the top three
companies from all sectors worldwide.
