ESG Focus Areas

  • Climate Change

Environmental Achievements

  • Reduced carbon footprint of EDV 500 to 364 g CO2e/mi and EDV 700 to 387 g CO2e/mi over 330,000 miles with a 3% year-over-year improvement in grid electricity carbon intensity. Achieved over 60% lower carbon footprint when using renewable energy for charging (150 g CO2e/mi for EDV 700 and 142 g CO2e/mi for EDV 500).

Environmental Challenges

  • Uncertainty in forecasting GHG emissions from electricity grid changes over the vehicle's lifetime.
  • Complexity of the automotive supply chain and limited availability of primary supplier data.
  • High carbon footprint of materials and supply chain (approximately one-fourth of the total EDV carbon footprint).
Mitigation Strategies
  • Used conservative assumptions to avoid underestimating potential impacts.
  • Used a 3% year-over-year improvement in grid electricity carbon intensity, which is slightly more pessimistic than the most conservative IEA projections.
  • Developed carbon footprint models for aluminum and steel with varying levels of recycled content to explore decarbonization levers.
  • Actively working on increasing the amount of recycled content in vehicles.
  • Planning to increase renewable energy procurements for the Normal, Illinois production plant.

Supply Chain Management

Supplier Audits: Not disclosed

Responsible Procurement
  • Using recycled content in materials; targeting reduction of mixed and unassigned materials to less than 15% of vehicle mass.
