After transforming carbon neutrals (ranges 1 and 2) globally in 2020, Bosch will continue to shape climate action beyond its immediate sphere of influence and will systematically reduce emissions by 15% up and down the chain (band 3). until 2030

Bosch Group: prospects for 2022 and strategic course

In 2021, the Bosch Group achieved significant sales and performance growth despite a difficult environment. In the first quarter of 2022, revenues from sales of technology and service providers increased by 5.2 percent. For the year as a whole, Bosch expects sales to grow by more than 6 percent and achieve an EBIT margin of 3 to 4 percent – despite the likelihood of significant burdens, especially due to rising energy costs, raw materials and logistics. “The successful outcome of the 2021 business year strengthens our confidence as we tackle the challenging environment of the current year,” said Dr. Stefan Hartung, Chairman of the Board of Robert Bosch GmbH. One of the significant uncertainties is the war in Ukraine and all its consequences. According to him, the current situation underscores the pressure on politicians and society to become less dependent on fossil fuels and vigorously seek to develop new energy sources. For this reason, he said, the Bosch Group is systematically continuing its efforts to mitigate global warming, despite the challenging economic environment. In addition, Hartung announced that Bosch will invest around three billion euros over three years in climate-neutral technologies such as electrification and hydrogen.

He believes electrification is the fastest path to climate neutrality, provided it is based on green electricity. That’s why Bosch is moving forward with sustainable mobility: in 2021, the company’s orders for electric mobility exceeded ten billion euros for the first time.

But Hartung also stressed that hydrogen was needed. “Industrial policy must focus on making all sectors of the economy ready for hydrogen,” he said. In the interest of effective climate action, Bosch is also entering the hydrogen electrolysis component business. The company plans to invest nearly 500 million euros in this new field by the end of the decade, half of which by the time of launch, which is scheduled for 2025. At the same time, the chairman of Bosch said that over the next three years the company will invest another ten billion euros in the digital transformation of its business. “Digitalisation also has a special role to play in sustainability – and our decisions start with this premise,” Hartung said. In addition, this year alone Bosch plans to take on 10,000 new software engineers worldwide.
