Diversity.
The 150,000 colleagues who work for the BMW Group come from 110 nations – diversity is one of our key success factors.

Experience fascinating new ideas for sustainability at BMW with the podcasts from our employees.
WE GIVE SUSTAINABILITY A FACE.
With us sustainability has many facets. In the sustainability series entitled “WIRkung”, which emphasises joint efforts to achieve an impact, employees present their contribution to the responsible further development of the BMW Group.
MORE BIODIVERSITY THROUGH BEES.
In addition to its sustainability targets, the BMW Group is also joining forces with its employees to pursue many small initiatives aimed at protecting the environment and species. Whether in Munich, Leipzig, Regensburg, Berlin or Dingolfing: various bee species and colonies have found a new home at different BMW Group locations in Germany. The idea originates from employees and provides an important contribution towards more biodiversity.
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY IN THE BMW GROUP.
Diversity.
The BMW Group views diversity as a strength. We introduce a variety of viewpoints, experience and skills into the daily work – thus reinforcing our innovative strength. Through training courses, talks and dialogue formats we create awareness among employees and management staff. We promote diversity and equality of opportunity in recruitment and in personnel development. Protection against discrimination, equal treatment for all employees and respect in everyday business are firmly anchored in our guidelines.
Social involvement.
As a company with a multinational workforce and locations on five continents, we are part of society. For this reason our ecological, economic and social responsibility also extends beyond our core business. At all of our international locations, we place the emphasis of our work on better living conditions and educational opportunities as well as intercultural communication. Through our multi-faceted involvement, we also make a contribution towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals of the UN.
BMW Foundation Herbert Quandt.
The BMW Foundation Herbert Quandt is an independent company foundation which, through its activities as a key partner, contributes to the social responsibility of the BMW Group. At the same time, it inspires leaders around the world to accept their responsibility within society and campaign for a peaceful, just and sustainable future.
