BMW tops Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes as most sustainable automobile company


If cars like this BMW Vision EfficientDynamics concept are the future of sustainable transport, we are all for it. The future? Bring it on, please!

The BMW Group has been named most sustainable automobile company worldwide (for the fifth consecutive year) in the latest Dow Jones Sustainability Index World. BMW is the only company in the automobile industry to have been listed in this sustainability index family every year since it was established in 1999.

‘We are delighted that the BMW Group is super sector leader in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index World for the fifth consecutive year. This proves once again that we are well on our way to establishing sustainability as the guiding principle for all our processes. We refined our sustainability strategy in the first half of 2009 – this was the next logical step and another important milestone,’ says Dr Norbert Reithofer, Chairman of the Board of Management, BMW AG.

According to BMW, ‘sustainability is firmly entrenched’ throughout its entire value chain – from the development of fuel-saving and alternative vehicle concepts through clean production processes to green recycling practices.
