BMW and the environment.
BMW is a strong proponent of the environment and social responsibility. It is important to manage the earth’s
resources responsibly, and not jeopardize the needs of future generations. That is why BMW makes vehicles that
minimize adverse environmental impact, from production (pollution prevention and waste minimization at the plant)
through owner use (low emissions) to eventual disposal (easy drainability of all fl uid-related components and easy
neutralization of all pyrotechnic devices).
This effort has been recognized worldwide and, as a result, we are pleased to have received numerous environmental
honors. In the U.S., for example, the Environmental Protection Agency accepted BMW’s Spartanburg, SC production
and manufacturing facility as a charter member of the agency’s National Environmental Performance Track. Internationally, BMW AG – the parent company of both BMW of North America and BMW Manufacturing Co., Spartanburg,
SC – was the fi rst automotive company to be represented on the Dow Jones Sustainability Group Index, and has
remained on the Index ever since. At BMW, we strive for high performance in everything we do.
