The two companies already signed a memorandum of understanding on the direct purchase of cobalt from Morocco in Marrakesh in January 2019. By 2023, we aim to have 25 electrified models in our line-up—more than half of them fully-electric. The highest sustainability standards apply to cobalt extraction at the Managem Group.

The BMW Group will source the cobalt needed as a key raw material for cell production directly from mines in Australia and Morocco and make it available to CATL and Samsung SDI. Compliance with environmental standards and respect for human rights have the highest priority. More than half of the 25 models will be fully electric.

We aim to have 25 electrified models in our line-up by 2023 and more than half will be fully electric. We are fully aware of our responsibilities: Lithium and other raw materials must be extracted and processed under ethically responsible conditions. Our need for raw materials will continue to grow accordingly.
