Additionally, BMW Group commits to reducing Scope 3 GHG emissions from the use of sold products by 50% per vehicle kilometre and from purchased goods and services and upstream transportation and distribution services by 22% per vehicle sold by 2030, all from a 2019 base year. These targets are validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company also aims to reduce its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions to near zero by 2025.
