Quality-of-life

Sustainability Report 2014

Living better in the long term

According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), protecting natural, economic, human, and social capital is necessary to secure long-term prosperity. Four of the things required to do this are an intact environment, beneficial products, health, and social cohesion. In line with this view of sustainability, Bosch works in a broad range of areas to contribute to the quality of life of current and future generations.

Natural capital: Raising environmental awareness in a targeted manner is one of the reasons why Bosch locations around the world have managed to reduce their relative CO₂ emissions by 19.9 percent since 2007.

Economic capital: Bosch produces some four million sensors each day. These sensors make driving safer and help consumers reduce their energy consumption.
