BSH’s Commitment to Sustainable Development and Carbon Neutrality: Leading the Home Appliance Industry Towards a Green Future

**National Energy Conservation Publicity Week 2023 Sets the Stage for Sustainable Development in the Home Appliance Industry**

*July 10th, 2023* – National Energy Conservation Publicity Week 2023, with the theme “Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction, You and Me Together,” was officially launched between July 10th and 16th. This week-long event aims to actively respond to climate change and promote green and low-carbon development. In sync with this initiative, July 12th was designated as National Low Carbon Day. Governments at all levels and regions have taken concrete steps to promote sustainable development, and consumers are increasingly focused on adopting a green and low-carbon lifestyle.

The home appliance industry is on the verge of an essential transformation stage, with sustainable development becoming a key driving force for its growth. As a global leader in this industry, BSH has consistently prioritized sustainable development as a crucial strategy for enterprise growth. In line with the theme of National Energy Conservation Publicity Week, BSH has taken significant actions in energy saving, carbon reduction, and green production to establish itself as an industry model. Additionally, BSH has actively engaged in low-carbon publicity activities to promote the concept of low-carbon development, popularize water and electricity conservation knowledge, and enhance low-carbon awareness among the public. Through these measures, BSH fulfills its corporate social responsibility while setting an example of sustainable development for the industry.

BSH has achieved carbon neutrality for three consecutive years, exemplifying its commitment to practical steps in sustainable development. By improving energy efficiency, utilizing clean energy from its own rooftop photovoltaic system, and investing in offset projects, BSH has reduced direct and indirect carbon emissions from its production processes. The proportion of green energy used by BSH has also steadily increased, reducing the need for external carbon offsets. Moreover, BSH focuses on energy efficiency in factories, systems, and buildings, further contributing to carbon reduction.

Emphasizing its long-term commitment to sustainable development, BSH continues to release resource-saving products that minimize ecological impact throughout their lifecycle. To meet the goals of the group’s energy efficiency project, BSH has implemented various environmental protection measures in its factories in China, resulting in remarkable outcomes. Additionally, BSH has increased investment in green energy, with plans to construct a 33MWp photovoltaic power generation project. These initiatives are estimated to generate approximately 33,895MWh of power annually, significantly reducing carbon dioxide emissions. BSH has also strengthened its energy management system, optimizing energy use and consumption to further reduce carbon emissions.

BSH implements pragmatic measures across its entire value chain, incorporating energy conservation and carbon reduction in every phase. From raw material acquisition to product usage, BSH actively reduces indirect emissions by controlling the acquisition and transportation of materials like stainless steel and plastics. Moreover, BSH promotes the use of energy-efficient home appliances, including smart home solutions, to minimize indirect emissions during product use. The company’s commitment to building a leading “green factory” has earned BSH Huajia Appliances Co., Ltd. prestigious accolades, affirming its dedication to protecting the environment throughout the product life cycle.

BSH is dedicated to empowering consumers to embrace a green and low-carbon future by offering high-quality, green smart home appliances. Bosch Home Appliances, a brand under BSH, introduced the 12/8 kg washing machine with an i-DOS automatic laundry detergent system. This innovative system detects the weight and soil level of clothes, dispensing the precise amount of detergent required, leading to significant reductions in usage. The Jinglei SJ656X26JC dishwasher by Siemens Home Appliances, another brand of BSH, utilizes patented Jinglei® technology to effectively dry tableware in a short amount of time, offering excellent cleaning performance. These products reflect BSH’s commitment to sustainable consumption and energy reduction.

To promote sustainable development in the home appliance industry, BSH has actively engaged in external publicity activities. By organizing community water and electricity conservation science popularization activities, BSH raises awareness about the necessity and measures of resource conservation. These initiatives include sharing energy-saving tips for daily life, fostering communication and interaction with the community, and advocating for green use. BSH strives to increase consumer awareness of environmentally friendly and energy-efficient products.

As National Energy Conservation Publicity Week and National Low Carbon Day continue to drive momentum, BSH remains steadfast in its commitment to sustainable development. By accelerating the innovation of green smart home appliances and collaborating closely with users and partners, BSH aims to contribute to a greener and more sustainable future.

Between July 10th and 16th, National Energy Conservation Publicity Week 2023 was officially launched with the theme “Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction, You and Me Together”, and July 12th was also designated as National Low Carbon Day to “actively respond to climate change”, Promoting Green and Low Carbon Development” at the same time as the theme. Governments at all levels and regions have begun to take concrete steps to continuously promote sustainable development, and consumers are paying more and more attention to a green and low-carbon life.For the home appliance industry, an essential transformation stage will follow, and sustainable development will become one of the important driving forces for the development of the home appliance industry.

As one of the global leaders in the home appliance industry, BSH always considers sustainable development as one of the important strategies for enterprise development. Focusing on the theme of this National Energy Conservation Publicity Week, on the one hand, BSH has established an industry model through its own energy saving and carbon reduction actions and full link green production, helping to promote green and low carbon formation. production methods and lifestyles; on the other hand, through low-carbon publicity activities widely publicize the concept of low-carbon development, popularize water and electricity conservation knowledge, improve the low-carbon awareness of the whole people, and cultivate and form a social trend of thrift and rational consumption of energy. Through measures such as energy saving, emission reduction and environmental protection, BSH has fulfilled its corporate social responsibility with practical steps. At the same time, it regularly releases the “Environmental and Corporate Responsibility Report of Bosch Home Machines China” to the public to show its achievements in the field of sustainable development and strive to contribute to Industry and all areas of production setting an example of sustainable development.

Practice sustainable development with practical steps and achieve carbon neutrality for three consecutive years

Rooted in China for almost 30 years, BSH has always developed its business in China in a responsible manner and contributed to the protection of natural resources. BSH has identified four directions of action to reduce direct and indirect carbon emissions from the production side, including improving BSH’s energy efficiency, making full use of the clean energy produced by its own rooftop photovoltaic system, increasing the proportion of green energy continuously, and investing in the South Pole Climate Protection Project offsets unavoidable CO2 emissions. In addition, BSH has also continuously reduced the carbon intensity in the manufacturing process by increasing the proportion of self-produced clean energy, thereby reducing the proportion of external carbon offsets. At the same time, BSH is also committed to improving the energy efficiency of factories, systems and buildings. Thanks to the clear strategic use and effective measures for sustainable development, by the end of 2022, all BSH factories, research and development centers and offices1 refer to all BSH offices with more than 100 employees, and all BSH offices with more than 50 employees of research and development centers and factors.
