Young BMW Group talents debate pressing questions for the future at One Young World Summit 2018.

The Hague. From 17-20 October 2018, for the third
time, the BMW Group will be sending a delegation of young employees to
the One Young World Summit, which will be held this year in The Hague.
At a different location each year, the future congress hosted by the
organisation One Young World (OYW) brings together leaders and talents
from global companies to promote networking and exchange on the most
pressing global issues for the future. As in 2017, Peter
Schwarzenbauer, member of the Board of Management of BMW AG, once
again addresses the young participants in a keynote speech.

BMW Group and OYW: a future built on social responsibility.

The 36 BMW Group delegates discuss sustainable perspectives for
cross-cutting social and ecological issues with the other
participants. Responsible conduct, both in the interest of society and
within the company’s own value chain, is firmly established in the BMW
Group’s corporate culture, not least through its sustainability
strategy. The company has always trusted in the ideas and pioneering
spirit of the younger generation and invests accordingly in training
new managers. The goals of the BMW Group therefore go hand in hand
with the vision of One Young World.

This also emphasises Peter Schwarzenbauer, member of the Board of
Management of BMW AG and supporter of the One Young World event: “The
One Young World event is an excellent platform for raising awareness
among young managers and motivating them to make a personal
contribution to their social and professional environment. This year,
I have once again been impressed by the enthusiasm our young talents
bring to their commitment and furthering their ideas. They are not
only creating added value for us as a company, but also for wider society.”

Under the motto “Purpose”, Peter Schwarzenbauer, as official
“counsellor” to the OYW event, talks in his keynote speech on Friday,
19 October about his vision of the leadership culture of the future.
“Purpose” also serves as the theme for this year’s BMW Group
delegation. Their agenda also features a discussion with Nobel Prize
winner Muhammad Yunus.

About One Young World.

One Young World was founded as a global forum in 2009 by Kate
Robertson and David Jones. The organisation aims to work with
next-generation managers to find joint solutions to global challenges,
such as hunger, poverty and climate change. The highlight every year
is the four-day One Young World Summit, where young people have
exchanged ideas with global leaders since 2010. Since it was formed,
the network has expanded to include more than 9,000 former congress
attendees, or so-called ambassadors.

BMW Group to partner with OYW Summit 2020 in Munich.

Since the first delegation in 2016, the circle of OYW ambassadors has
also included BMW Group employees. The company therefore welcomes the
plan by the City of Munich to host the OYW Summit 2020 in two years’
time. As a partner of the event, the BMW Group will provide support
through its substantive and organisational expertise. As example for
innovation in the region, the BMW Group works in close partnership
with the City of Munich. Both partners have always promoted the city’s
innovative spirit.
