Social Responsibility

BMW is committed to being an active and productive member of the local community, and we proudly take responsible actions to serve the community. As part of our commitment to social responsibility, BMW Manufacturing has provided more than $40 million in funds over the last 20 years to support various civic, cultural, and educational programs. Also, BMW sponsors the annual BMW Charity Pro-Am golf tournament in association with SYNNEX Corporation. This special event brings together celebrities to raise awareness and funds for more than 200 charities. Since 2011, donations exceeding $13 million have been raised and distributed.

Through our commitment to social responsibility, we support various programs that make a significant, long-term impact on the community in multiple ways. These programs are centered around STEM education, sustainability, road safety, and cultural engagement.

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) Education

The BMW initiatives in science, technology, engineering, and math, or STEM, learning focus on narrowing the gender and race gaps among women and minorities in these critical areas of education. Through support in this area, BMW is changing individuals' lives and is developing the future workforce.

Sustainability

On a global scale, BMW actively supports the United Nations Global Compact initiatives. These are upheld through our Ten Principles program at all of the manufacturing plants. Also, we support the protection of green spaces.

Road Safety

BMW is committed to keeping drivers and passengers safe on the road. We consistently support programs that initiate improvements to road safety and sustainable mobility.

Cultural Engagement

Free creative expression plays an essential role in communities in the areas of art and business. BMW actively supports various festivals, museums, art councils, and theaters as part of our commitment to creative cultural engagement.
