Responsibility for the environment is a core value at Bosch and is firmly anchored in Principles of Work Safety and Environmental Protection. These principles extend to associates, services, and suppliers, and their aim is the continuous improvement of our environmental performance, allied to a concern for occupational safety. Bosch introduced its first binding guideline on environmental protection thirty years ago. 1996, we formulated environmental protection guidelines for the entire Bosch Group. In the same year, we also began the gradual introduction of environmental management systems at all our manufacturing sites. In 2004, our principles of work safety and environmental protection integrated the previously separate sets of guidelines.
The 3-S Program
Three decades old and more pertinent than ever is the Bosch 3-S program, on the basis of which we have been working since the 1970's to make automobiles safer, more eco-friendly, and more economical. The program has inspired many of our pioneering achievements, including antilock braking systems (ABS), the electronic stability program
(ESP), and direct fuel injection systems for gasoline and diesel engines. The latest version of the ESP is a highly sophisticated and extremely effective safety product: studies carried out by our customers indicate that making ESP standard equipment in road vehicles could cut the number
of serious traffic accidents by up to 50 percent.
Spurred on by existing and nascent environmental concerns, our development engineers are also continuing their efforts to make road vehicles more eco-friendly and more economical by cutting fleet fuel consumption and emissions of carbon dioxide and pollutants. The 3-S program makes environmental protection a constant and integral component of our business strategy. This, in turn, makes it much easier for us to identify how environmental protection issues interact with other strategic concerns: if we want our eco-friendly and economical diesel systems to succeed, for example, we need to make sure that they also deliver the higher levels of fun and sporty performance expected by today's drivers.
