For the reporting year 2025, BMW Group reported total emissions of approximately 128.4 billion kg CO2e. This breakdown includes:

• Scope 1: About 667.3 million kg CO2e.
• Scope 2 (Market-based): Approximately 144.1 million kg CO2e.
• Scope 3: Roughly 127.5 billion kg CO2e, with the largest contributors being the use of sold products (about 89.5 billion kg CO2e) and purchased goods and services (about 31.7 billion kg CO2e).

In 2024, total emissions were approximately 135.8 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 672.5 million kg CO2e and Scope 3 emissions at roughly 135 billion kg CO2e.

Climate Commitments and Targets:

BMW Group has set ambitious climate targets across its value chain:

• Net Zero by 2050: The company is committed to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain by no later than 2050.
• Scope 1 and 2 Reduction: By 2030, BMW Group aims for an 80% reduction in carbon emissions per vehicle produced at its own production sites and locations (Scope 1 and 2), with a base year of 2019. This includes an absolute target of 0.635 million tonnes of CO2e for Scope 1 and 2 combined by 2030, representing a 46.3% reduction from the 2019 baseline.
• Scope 3 Reduction:
  • Upstream: A reduction of at least 22% per vehicle sold in purchased goods and services and upstream transportation and distribution is targeted by 2030.
  • Downstream (Use Phase): A reduction of more than 50% per kilometre driven in the use phase of vehicles is targeted by 2030.
• Near-Zero Emissions: The company aims to reduce its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions to near zero by 2025.

These targets are aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), which confirms that the company's operational (Scope 1 and 2) targets are consistent with reductions needed to keep warming to 1.5°C, and its Scope 3 targets for the use of sold products are consistent with keeping warming Well-below 2°C.
