The largest contributors within Scope 3 are the use of sold products, accounting for roughly 89.54 billion kg CO2e, and purchased goods and services, contributing about 31.71 billion kg CO2e. In 2024, BMW Group's total emissions were approximately 135.82 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions around 672.54 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 (location-based) at about 1.30 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at roughly 134.98 billion kg CO2e. The primary driver within Scope 3 in 2024 was the use of sold products, totalling around 93.65 billion kg CO2e, followed by purchased goods and services at about 33.48 billion kg CO2e. BMW Group has established several climate commitments. The company aims for net-zero emissions across its entire value chain by no later than 2050. Furthermore, for 2030, BMW Group has set targets to reduce its carbon emissions. Specifically, it aims for an 80% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions per vehicle produced by 2030, using 2019 as the base year. Additionally, a 50% reduction in Scope 3 emissions from the use of sold products is targeted per vehicle kilometre by 2030. For purchased goods and services and upstream transportation and distribution, a 22% reduction per vehicle sold is targeted by 2030, also from a 2019 base year. An absolute target of 0.635 million tonnes of CO2e by 2030 has been set for direct (Scope 1) and indirect (Scope 2) emissions, representing a 46.3% reduction from the 2019 base year.
