ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) Report
Sustainability is inexorably tied to the future of the automotive industry
While its environmental impact has long been seen as a challenge, social and governance factors are now coming to the fore, particularly as connected, autonomous, shared, and electric (CASE) megatrends transform the industry. Automakers are increasingly marketing sustainability as central to their value propositions, reflected by the trend in 2020 by several to integrate their financial and sustainability reporting methods. A significant challenge is managing the transition profitably, without which innovation and survival won’t be possible, no matter the strength of ESG credentials. The complexity of ESG is that it is not zero-sum.
This thematic research report takes an in-depth look at the impact of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors on the automotive industry. Our analysis includes GlobalData’s ESG framework, the trends shaping the ESG theme in automotive, the challenges posed by the theme to the automotive industry. We also include case studies detailing leaders and laggards in each of the sub-themes of ESG, along with a timeline of past and future milestones. In the companies’ section, we analyse the ESG-specific moves being made by major automakers and suppliers to set out the landscape and see what further trends are emerging. Finally, GlobalData’s ‘Parts and Tires’ and ‘Vehicle Manufacturing’ scorecards highlight leading and lagging companies based on the key themes identified as impacting the automotive sector.
