Why is BMW focusing on carbon emissions in the full value chain? What are some of the pros and cons of such focus?
Using the supporting spreadsheet, calculate and compare the life cycle carbon emissions of an internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle versus a battery electric vehicle (BEV). In the spreadsheet, choose assumptions that you think reflect economic reality. In what scenarios are ICE emissions lower than BEV emissions? What conclusions do you reach?
The case’s Excel spreadsheet is in the course pack. In case you are having trouble finding it, here is a copy: BMW Case Spreadsheet.xlsxDownload BMW Case Spreadsheet.xlsx
How much do you trust the different categories of carbon emissions (Scope 1, scope 2, scope 3 supply chain, and scope 3 use-phase)?
How would you recommend BMW communicate its sustainability strategy to stakeholders?
