BMW
BMW has taken some promising initial steps to eliminate fossil fuels and inequities from its supply chains and business operations, but they’re not nearly enough. Moreover, it hasn’t made sufficient progress on the EV transition and has a deplorable track record for lobbying against climate policies, receiving the second-lowest score from InfluenceMap on this issue.
