Bosch has set itself the goal of becoming one of the world’s leading
IoT (internet of things) companies. The Bosch Group operates on
all three levels of connectivity – intelligent and connected devices,
software platforms, and applications and services – in order to
provide additional benefits to customers.
More than 40 percent of Bosch product categories are already webenabled, and this number is rising rapidly. MEMS sensors are a key
technology for connectivity, and Bosch has extensive expertise in
this area. The company also has its own cloud for web-based services, as well as a compatible software core, the Bosch IoT Suite,
that can be used to develop, provide, and operate applications on
the internet of things. Bosch is also developing its expertise in data
mining, the systematic application of statistical methods to the
processing of huge amounts of complex, rapidly changing data.
A team of experts in Palo Alto, California (USA), and Bengaluru, India,
is working on such tasks, supporting associates from the divisions.
To improve their competitiveness, large companies have to create
space for more entrepreneurship. This is why Bosch has its own
platform. Robert Bosch Start-up GmbH helps Bosch development
teams become successful entrepreneurs. It takes care of things such
as premises, financing, and other administrative tasks. One example
is the start-up that created the Bonirob agricultural robot. The team
from Deepfield Robotics is developing this robot, which is the size of
a compact car, as an aid for plant breeding and crop farming.

To remain an innovation leader, Bosch places great importance
on research and development. In the fall of 2015, it opened a new
research campus in Renningen near Stuttgart, Germany. This is
a flagship project for Bosch, in which the company has invested
around 310 million euros. It wants Renningen to become a hub
of its global research and development network, which employs
around 55,800 associates. Their research is focused on areas such
as sensor technology, automation, driver assistance systems, battery
technology, and improved automotive powertrain systems. Bosch
is also working to expand its basic software expertise – particularly
for IoT connectivity.

All in all, Bosch can look back on a successful financial year in which
sales leaped by nearly 22 billion euros to reach a record of more than
70 billion euros. Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) rose to
4.6 billion euros, compared with 3.0 billion euros in the previous
year. One major strategic decision was the acquisition of all shares
in former joint ventures concerned with household appliances and
automotive steering systems. In its operations as well, Bosch made
further progress, despite a weak economic environment. Innovative
and energy-efficient products were an important source of growth.
Performance varied considerably by business sector and region.
The Mobility Solutions and Consumer Goods business sectors
were particularly successful. The Energy and Building Technology
business sector was also able to significantly improve its figures
year on year. On the other hand, parts of the Industrial Technology
business sector are suffering from a very weak market environment.
From a regional perspective, sales in North America recorded
particularly strong growth; sales also grew positively in Europe. By
contrast, sales growth in Asia Pacific did not match that of previous
years. The situation was once again very difficult in South America.

Bosch today 2016
The total number of Bosch Group associates rose to some 374,800 at
the end of 2015, compared with 290,200 at the end of 2014. Most of
the increase was due to the acquisitions of Automotive Steering and
BSH Hausgeräte. Furthermore, additional recruitments increased the
number of associates by some 12,700 after allowing for personnel
turnover; including associates recruited by Automotive Steering and
BSH Hausgeräte in 2015, the figure was 16,400.
Occupational training and continuing professional development
have traditionally been regarded as very important at Bosch. Worldwide, over 7,300 young people completed apprenticeship schemes
at Bosch in 2015. Due to the strong tradition of dual education in
companies and schools, many of these young people – around 4,900
apprentices – are in Germany. At its locations worldwide, moreover,
Bosch has many training centers of its own that provide training
specifically for technical trades. These include centers in France,
Turkey, India, China, and Vietnam, but also in Brazil and North
America. Topics such as software, IT, and Industry 4.0 also play an
increasingly important role in occupational training and continuing
professional development.

Considerable changes are evident in research and development
cost in the business year 2015. It came to approximately 6.4 billion
euros in 2015, compared with 5 billion euros in the previous year.
Due to the first-time consolidation of Automotive Steering and BSH
Hausgeräte, the R&D cost ratio fell from 10.1 percent to 9 percent,
despite an absolute increase in research and development cost.
If Automotive Steering and BSH Hausgeräte had been included in
the research and development cost for 2014, it would have come
to around 5.6 billion euros, and the R&D cost ratio would also have
been roughly 9 percent.
Business targets
The Bosch Group’s business targets are derived from the “We are
Bosch” mission statement, the strategic focal points, and the competitive environment. Over the longer term, the company continues
to aim for average annual sales growth of 8 percent, with up to
3 percentage points of this coming from acquisitions. By 2020, Bosch
wants to double its sales in Asia Pacific and the Americas compared
with 2013, to grow faster than the market in Europe, and to increase
its sales in Africa from their present level of some 500 million euros
to 2 billion euros. In terms of business sectors, Bosch continues to
aim for a better balance between Mobility Solutions and the other
business sectors. This balance has improved thanks to the acquisition of BSH Hausgeräte. Bosch has also set itself the goal of an EBIT
margin from operations of around 7 percent of sales, derived from
benchmark comparisons of operating units, taking into account the
significant up-front investments needed for growth projects and for
the change processes this will involve.

so far, Bosch is considering a significantly higher long-term target for
2020 including Automotive Steering and BSH Hausgeräte. If these
two operating units are included, a roughly 30 percent reduction from
the 2007 level had already been achieved by 2015.
With more than 100 Industry 4.0 projects, Bosch is
improving resource efficiency in its plants.
Sustainability
For the Bosch Group, sustainability means securing the company’s
long-term success while at the same time protecting the natural
resources on which present and future generations depend. The
strategic imperative “Invented for life” thus expresses the aim to
make mobility even safer, cleaner, and more economical, and to
develop eco-friendly products in general. Ecology is thus a driver
of innovation: in 2015, more than half of research and development
expenditure at Bosch went into products that help improve energy
efficiency, environmental protection, and resource conservation.
This does not yet include Automotive Steering and BSH Hausgeräte.
But business opportunities are not the only ones opened up by
systematic sustainability management. It also helps the company
counter environmental risks such as global warming and resource
scarcity. By 2020, Bosch has pledged to reduce its relative (in terms
of value added) CO2 emissions (not including Automotive Steering
and BSH Hausgeräte) by 20 percent from their 2007 level. By 2015,
the company had already significantly exceeded this target, having
achieved a reduction of some 26 percent. As a positive “side effect,”
the Bosch Group was able to save 530 million euros in energy costs
between 2007 and 2014 alone. In view of the improvements achieved
Supporting occupational training and professional development is
a further focus of the company’s global efforts to promote sustainability. Bosch’s aim is to continue each associate’s professional
development, regardless of age or experience. In 2015, therefore,
some 247 million euros were spent on professional development.
Statistically, each associate attended 1.4 classroom training courses.
For the company founder Robert Bosch himself, education was the
key to participation in society. The Bosch Group’s social commitment
is part of this tradition, and is based on the continuing work of the
company’s own foundations in Brazil, China, India, and the U.S.,
as well as on the voluntary work done by thousands of associates.
Last year, donations by Bosch supported things such as educational
projects for socially disadvantaged children and adolescents.

In June 2015, the German federal chancellor
Angela Merkel presented the Deutscher Schulpreis (German school award) to the Barmen
high school in Wuppertal. The principal, teachers,
and students came to Berlin to receive the
award. In early 2015, the Stiftung set up
the Deutsche Schulakademie (German school
academy). Its job is to ensure that the good
practice of all school award winners is made
available to other schools in Germany.
Robert Bosch Stiftung
The Robert Bosch Stiftung promotes projects relating to healthcare,
science, education, and international relations. Its aim is to find possible
solutions for social issues, and to test them in the field as models.
Insights from its projects are made available to decision-makers and
the general public. The Stiftung finances itself from the dividend it
receives as a shareholder in Robert Bosch GmbH.
Some of the most effective tools of its work include international
scholarship programs, exchange programs for young executives, and
research grants for journalists. Since September 2015, for example,
as part of the stART program, Greek university graduates have been
able carry out youth culture projects in order to gain qualifications in
international cultural management. Their innovative ideas give young
people in Greece the chance to participate in culture and society, and
thus reinforce cohesion in Europe.
The issue of migration and participation has also been a focus of
the Stiftung‘s work for more than ten years: at the start of 2015, for
example, it convened an expert commission to look into the realignment of refugee policy. Since then, ten high-caliber representatives
from politics, business, and civil society have been preparing concrete
policy recommendations. The commission has systematically sifted
expert contributions from as many involved parties as possible,
on topics as diverse as language acquisition, living space, and the
labor market.
