Our sustainability path

Measures that work

We responsibly implement measures that noticeably reduce risks to the environment and climate and contribute to a low‐carbon automotive industry. Since 2022, we have covered almost 100 percent of the electricity requirements of our plants worldwide from renewable sources. With energy‐efficient production, we increase our competitiveness and sustainably conserve resources.

With recyclate to the closed loop

Closed‐loop recycling is the name of the game. As a pioneer, we are transferring not only CO2 neutrality but also closed material loops into our process landscape. What does this mean? We are increasingly using recyclates in production. High‐quality recycled materials. In this way, we avoid waste and conserve resources. We are expanding the close‐loop approach wherever possible. For example, we are currently recycling painted production.
