Sustainability and ESG: The Green Imperative for the Auto Industry
Sustainability has moved from a marketing theme to a strategic imperative. Investors and customers increasingly evaluate companies based on ESG criteria (Environmental, Social, and Governance). For the auto industry, this means decarbonizing products (with EVs) and production (carbon-neutral factories), ensuring ethical supply chains (e.g., for battery minerals), and developing a circular economy, notably through battery recycling. A company's long-term viability is now tied to its green credentials.
FAQ:
Q: Are EVs truly "green"?
A: They have zero tailpipe emissions. However, manufacturing, especially the battery, is energy-intensive. Over its full lifecycle, an EV is already significantly more climate-friendly than an internal combustion vehicle, especially if charged with renewable energy.
Q: What is "Greenwashing"?
