Invented for life

Advancing technology

In your car, at home, or at work — Bosch technology shapes many areas of life. We take advantage of technological advances and develop innovations that provide solutions to the major challenges of our time.

Digital Trust

At Bosch, digital trust involves transferring our “traditional” quality and value proposition to the digital world.

Responsible use of AI

When artificial intelligence (AI) meets the Internet of Things (IoT), the result is countless new possibilities for us at home, at work, and on the road. At Bosch, we call this the Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT). The overriding principle at Bosch is to develop AI that is trustworthy and transparent. To achieve this, we combine a value-based approach with methodological and technical expertise.

In 2019, Bosch established the Digital Trust Forum, which merged with the "Charter of Trust" founded by Siemens in 2022. The international initiative has set itself the objective of fundamentally increasing the trust placed in digital solutions. Above all, we are working with our partners to define trust-building guidelines and possible certification and conformity labels.

To ensure that AI is used responsibly in our products, we developed a code of our own back in 2019.

Design for environment

We have firmly anchored the Design for Environment (DfE) principle in the product development process. Developers and product owners use specific design and manufacturing rules that cover the entire life cycle of products – from materials used and efficiency in the product development process to recycling or environmentally compatible disposal at the end of the product life cycle. The systematic integration of environmental aspects into the product development process contributes to the improvement of the environmental compatibility of products over their entire life cycle:
