MUNICH - September 9, 2008: The SAM Group published its latest evaluation for the Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes (DJSI) today.

For the fourth year in a row the BMW Group leads its sector, and as such, is the world's most sustainable automobile manufacturer. The BMW Group is the only company in its industry to have been listed in this important collection of corporate sustainability indexes every year since they were established in 1999. The BMW Group's Board of Management defined sustainability as a key corporate principle back in 2000. Sustainability throughout the value chain, comprehensive product responsibility and consistent conservation of resources are firmly anchored in the company's processes. The BMW Group is using its strategy for sustainable mobility - which encompasses efficiency increases and further electrification of the power train through to the long-term use of hydrogen - to reduce the CO2 emissions of its entire vehicle fleet.

Good for BMW. This is what GM should be doing, looking at the big picture. Not just their RE-Volt-ing car.

This is what I love about BMW, they are always at least a decade ahead of every other automotive company.

That link provided absolutely nothing aside from BMW's marketing hype. Toyota can market too.

How does the X6 contribute to sustainability? Less room but burns twice as much fuel.
What about a V12 hydrogen car that has a larger gas tank than it does hydrogen tank?

How about recategorizing their cars to SAV so they don't have to meet some mpg or emissions requirement?

BMW recycling their cars? I didn't realize leasing helped to reduce the # of vehicles they produce. Someone should teach BMW how to do some math. Keeping one car 5 years is more sustainable than making 2 in the same # of years.

BMW doesn't make it on any top MPG lists. They had to invent a new category for the Mini just so BMW could win one.

Your are so full of S__t Huu...

You have not concrete facts to back up your claims.

BMW is one of the most progressive automotive companies in the world and you choose to live in "Toyota Fairy Land"..

If your Asian automotive companies were so forward thinking maybe they would have made the list.. But "Not"....

You are one of the least credible posters on this site.

You spin facts and manipulate information to make it appear you are right when the facts always turn you into a liar..

huu, how are you not tired of listening to yourself by now? I mean, we only have to endure you for brief moments, and it is almost unbearable. How do you stand having to be around yourself all the time? You must be one strong willed dude.
