Bosch Group: the business year 2020 at a glance

Given a further slowdown in the global economy and a fall in automotive production, the Bosch Group held up well. Thanks to a variety of successful products, sales reached 77.7 billion euros, and were thus nearly on a par with the previous year. EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes) from operations reached 3.3 billion euros. The Mobility Solutions business sector generated sales of 46.8 billion euros. In other words, the business sector that generates the biggest share of Bosch sales outperformed global production volumes. In total, some 72,600 specialists work in research and development at Bosch. As early as the end of 2020, the company will be the first globally operating industrial enterprise to become climate neutral, and this at all its 400 locations worldwide. All its locations in Germany have been CO2 neutral since the end of 2019.
