GM has released its 2020 Sustainability Report, which reflects on the company's outstanding environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) performance over the past year, and unveiled new sustainability goals to fully achieve its "zero emissions" vision.

Company Plan

• In 2035, the energy consumption intensity of operations will decrease by 35% compared with 2010
  

• 100% packaging by 2030 that is recyclable or based primarily on sustainable materials, with zero waste

• By 2025, more than 90% of waste will be optimally treated

• Include all targeted Tier 1 suppliers in the GM Supplier Sustainability Program

Earlier this year, GM announced its ambition to achieve zero emissions for all new light-duty vehicles by 2035 and plans to make global products and operations carbon neutral by 2040. Fully electrifying products can reduce a company's carbon emissions by 75 percent. General Motors is building an electric vehicle product lineup covering multiple brands and market segments based on the self-developed Ultium platform.

In the 2020 Sustainability Report, GM Chairman and CEO Mary Barra emphasized: "The automotive industry is undergoing a once-in-a-century technological change. GM will pave the way for an all-electric future. and inclusive transformation.”

GM is committed to promoting the sustainable and coordinated development of the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, and jointly actively respond to global climate change. In April this year, the company's medium-term emission reduction targets were certified by the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The target covers greenhouse gas emission standards at all levels. It will help the world limit the average temperature rise to less than 2 degrees Celsius on the basis of the pre-industrial period in accordance with the long-term goals planned in the Paris Climate Agreement, and strive to control the temperature rise. within 1.5 degrees Celsius.

In order to jointly build a green industry chain, GM has previously announced a series of sustainable development projects, and is currently implementing various goals in an orderly manner, including:

• 100% of global operations will be powered by renewable energy by 2035

• In 2035, operational water intensity will be reduced by 35% compared to 2010

• By 2030, the utilization rate of sustainable materials in automobiles will reach 50%

通用汽车近日发布2020年可持续发展报告，回顾了公司过去一年在环境、社会和公司治理（ESG）方面的杰出表现，并公布了为全面实现“零排放”愿景而设定的可持续发展新目标。

公司计划

• 2035年运营能耗强度较2010年下降35%

• 2030年实现包装100%可回收或主要基于可持续材料，达到零废弃

• 2025年实现90%以上废弃物优化处理

• 将所有目标一级供应商纳入通用汽车供应商可持续项目

今年初，通用汽车宣布有志于在2035年实现所有新款轻型汽车的零排放，并计划于2040年实现全球产品和运营的碳中和。全面实现产品电气化可减少公司75%的碳排放。通用汽车正基于自主研发的Ultium平台打造覆盖多个品牌和细分市场的电动车产品阵容。

通用汽车董事长兼首席执行官玛丽·博拉（Mary Barra）女士在2020年可持续发展报告中强调：“汽车行业正经历百年一遇的技术变革。通用汽车将为纯电动的未来铺就公平和包容的转型之路。”

通用汽车致力于推动产业链上下游的可持续协同发展，共同积极应对全球气候变化。今年4月，公司的中期减排目标获得科学减碳倡议组织SBTi（Science-Based Targets initiative）的认证。该目标涵盖了各级温室气体排放标准，将依据《巴黎气候协定》所规划的长期目标，助力全球将平均气温上升幅度限制在前工业化时期基础上的2摄氏度以内，并努力将温度上升幅度控制在1.5摄氏度以内。

为共建绿色产业链，通用汽车此前已宣布了一系列可持续发展项目，目前正有条不紊地落实各项目标，包括：

• 2035年全球运营100%使用可再生能源供电

• 2035年运营用水强度较2010年下降35%
  

• 2030年汽车可持续材料运用率达到50%
