This year’s digital BMW Group Dialogues ‘Circular Responsibility’ are another opportunity for discussion with our key stakeholders worldwide.  This format provides us with valuable insights into challenges and solutions relating to the topic of sustainability.

Together with Ilka Horstmeier, member of the Board of Management of BMW AG responsible for Human Resources and Labour Relations, and other experts we discussed the following questions at our Munich Stakeholder Dialogue on 23 July 2021. 

• What does circularity mean for corporate and social responsibility?
• How should a sustainable vehicle be designed for circularity?
• What does circularity mean, for instance, for specific components like the high-voltage battery in an electric vehicle? What impact does the circular economy have on a vehicle's design?
