GM set targets early last year to become carbon neutral in its global products and operations by 2040 and work toward a transition to 100% zero tailpipe emissions for new light-duty vehicles by 2035. GM continues its transition to an all-electric future, planning to reach more than 1 million units of EV capacity in each of North America and China by 2025. In late 2021, GM set a significant milestone by opening of Factory ZERO, GM’s first plant fully dedicated to EV assembly in Detroit and Hamtramck, Michigan.

GM is making significant progress here. Companies comprising 53% of its annual purchase value of GM’s tier 1 materials have already signed its Environmental, Social and Governance Partnership Pledge (GM Asks Suppliers to Pledge on Taking Global Climate Actions). This is GM walking the talk because it calls for social and governance commitments, including human rights protections and fair operating practices.
