Sustainability at Bosch Service Solutions
As part of the Bosch Group the same sustainability principles and guidelines apply to Bosch Service Solutions.
Bosch's sustainability strategy is centered around six focal points: climate action, water, circular economy, diversity, human rights and health. These topics are summarized in the target vision “New Dimensions — Sustainability 2025” and we are working consistently on their realization. The Bosch sustainability website reports transparently on targets, measures and performance.
As early as 2020, the Bosch Group with its more than 400 locations worldwide has been carbon neutral overall (scope 1 & 2)*. Four levers were used to achieve carbon neutrality: increasing energy efficiency, generating our own energy from renewable sources (new clean power), purchasing electricity from renewable sources (green electricity), and — as the last resort — using carbon credits to offset residual CO₂ emissions. At the same time, we have expanded our activities in recent years to also reduce emissions produced outside Bosch’s direct sphere of influence, for example at suppliers, in logistics, or when our products are used – known as scope 3*.
*Scopes 1, 2, and 3 are used here in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard. We have taken into account the effects of CO₂ and of other greenhouse gases, as well as climate-relevant substances, to the extent that these are of relevance for the analysis. To enable comparability between the climate impact of the various greenhouse gases and substances of relevance for the climate, emissions are presented in CO₂ equivalents. For ease of reading, we use the terms CO₂ and CO₂ equivalents synonymously.

At Bosch Service Solutions we are convinced that our business activities must be environmentally, economically, and socially viable.
