Our comprehensive understanding of sustainability combines both of these approaches. It shapes our sustainability management, provides clear orientation at all levels, and ensures that our actions are effective. Accordingly, by acting in an economically, environmentally, and socially responsible manner, we want to improve people’s quality of life and safeguard the livelihoods of present and future generations.</p> <p>Our “New Dimensions — Sustainability 2025” target vision translates this ambition into concrete terms.

With its more than 400 locations worldwide, the Bosch Group has been carbon neutral overall (scopes 1 & 2) since 2020. We achieved carbon neutrality by using four levers: increasing energy efficiency, generating our own energy from renewable sources (new clean power), purchasing electricity from renewable sources (green electricity), and — as a last resort — offsetting residual CO₂ emissions. In 2022, residual emissions of 0.7 million tons of CO₂ were offset through carbon credits. </p> <p>At the same time, we want to shape climate action beyond our immediate sphere of influence and, where possible, also systematically reduce upstream and downstream emissions (scope 3).
