Environmental protection in the product lifecycle
To safeguard our company’s future, our key aim is to shape sustainable mobility.
The key environmental concern for the public, political decision-makers, and the business community is climate protection, which involves reducing energy consumption and minimizing the emission of CO2. As a globally operating automobile manufacturer, we have a special responsibility in this regard, which is why we aim to steadily improve the environmental compatibility of our products and activities. To this end, we focus on the environmental impact of our products over their entire lifecycle, from development and production to service use and recycling.
The following chapters review the individual stages of the product lifecycle and describe the measures we employ at each stage to conserve resources and minimize pollutant emissions.
