    Corporate Communications Media Information 17 March, 2021 - Check against delivery – Statement Oliver Zipse Chairman of the Board of Management of BMW AG Annual Conference for the Business Year 2020 Munich, 17 March 2021, 09.00 a.m. Good Morning, Everyone! I would like to start with the bigger picture. Why is this important to me? Because, at BMW, our decisions are based on a long-term perspective. That makes anticipating how the world around us will change even more important. What are the big issues of our time that concern us all and demand joint answers? I would like to offer five beliefs: First: Effective climate protection can only be achieved through the intensive use of technology. I firmly believe science and technology-based innovation are key to making the world carbon-neutral. This will require industry-wide networking, with the active support of policy. Doubts, unilateral technology determination, and politics of interest only hinder this process. To make real progress, we need the biggest efforts in all areas where they have been proven to deliver the greatest impact. Sacrifice is not an option. Second: Industrialisation needs the right timing. Company Bayerische The success of a technical invention depends, first, on the ability to industrialise Motoren Werke Aktiengesellschaft under highly complex conditions and, second, on finding the right timing.

In times like these, we need responsible behaviour in society. We find ourselves in highly unusual times. All of us are personally affected. Medical experts and scientists are giving clear directions as to what we need to do to slow and contain the spread of the coronavirus pandemic. The next few weeks will be critical.
