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.
