As our global production network, Plant San Luis Potosí has implemented a range of resource efficiency and CO2 reduction measures. Our sustainability strategy is built around four pillars.

Sustainable actions that could be mentioned are:

  • With an investment of 3.3 million euros, BMW SLP expanded its wastewater treatment plant, doubling its capacity to supply treated wastewater, allowing it to be a reference in the use of treated water within the BMW production network Group.

  • The Plant uses only electrical energy generated by renewable sources, which is generated through more than 71,000 m2 of solar panels within the Plant land, and also from an external solar park.

  • Additional energy saving measures include plant-wide LED lighting technology and factory smart insight sensors on production lines to measure the energy consumption of devices and equipment.

  • The Plant adopted a policy of completely avoiding the use of landfills since its start of production in 2019. 100% of the waste generated at the Plant is classified to facilitate recycling and avoid negative environmental impacts.

  • The Plant is also exploring ways to use biogas sources obtained from landfill sites, which could potentially be used to power paint curing ovens, as well as kitchens and HVAC systems.

  • Plant San Luis Potosi appreciates the importance of water conservation and is proactive about its water management. 100% of the water from the whole production (services) and the paint shop is treated, and one part is returned to the production process and the other part is used for alternative services such as irrigation and sanitation.

Together with Waves for Water, BMW Group Mexico seeks to provide the surrounding community of San Luis Potosi with clean water as it is the basis for better health and a driver for a positive development for the society.

The company along with Waves for Water will provide three communities near the plant with filters to purify their drinking water.

The filters remove 99.99% of bacteria and cysts that cause waterborne diseases. In total 670 filters will be given to Puente de Tierra, Alamitosde Bledos, Presa El Organito and Tanque El Chayote.

This activity will reduce the economic impact caused by illnesses and the time consuming processes of acquiring potable water.
