Global Compact Principles and Sources of Information on the BMW Group p. 3 III. Sustainability Objectives of the BMW Group in 2010 with regard to Global Compact Principles p. 5 2 I. Statement of continued support (Message from the CEO) Ladies and Gentlemen, The BMW Group has a clear vision to be the world’s leading provider of premium products and premium services for individual mobility. Premium is, and will remain, our business – and premium has many facets. We believe sus- tainability is one of them. With premium comes an obligation to accept economic, ecological and social responsibility. The BMW Group has been a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact since 2001 and is committed to implementing its ten principles. Every day we work on making progress in all of the relevant areas – within the BMW Group, in our cooperation with business partners and also in our dealings with all of our other stakeholder groups worldwide. Our new Global Compact progress report outlines what we see as the present challenges for the ten principles. We also describe our achievements over the past year. A particular highlight for the BMW Group was the intensive dialogue with our employees. In 2010, around 13,000 managers worldwide received special training on the strategic challenges the company faces. One of the four focus topics was corporate sustainability. In small groups, the managers worked on tasks that included defining what corporate sus- tainability means for their area of responsibility.

    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.
