Ownership structure and organization

The ownership structure of Robert Bosch GmbH guarantees the Bosch Group’s entrepreneurial independence. It enables the company to plan over the long term and to undertake significant upfront investments in the safeguarding of its future. The not-for-profit foundation Robert Bosch Stiftung GmbH holds roughly 94 percent of the share capital of Robert Bosch GmbH, but has no influence on the strategic or business orientation of the Bosch Group. The remaining shares are held by a corporation owned by the Bosch family (roughly 5 percent) and the Robert Bosch GmbH (roughly 1 percent). Of the voting rights, some 93 percent are held by Robert Bosch Industrietreuhand KG. The approximately 7 percent of voting rights remaining are held by the founder’s descendants.
