In recent years, sustainability has evolved from a corporate goal to detailed functional KPIs among all major OEMs. While today sustainability initiatives revolve around building a zero-emission vehicle portfolio, the breadth of sustainability has spread beyond vehicles to wider environmental and societal aspects, such as carbon neutral manufacturing and conscious material sourcing.

For many players in the automotive industry, the biggest challenge around sustainability will be identifying prioritizations in technologies and applications that balance compliance with cost effective changes to product and process. As 2030 approaches, the year set as a deadline for many government-led sustainability initiatives, it is crucial that automakers not only formulate and commit to their own strategies, but identify the tools, technologies, products, partnerships, and more that will help them achieve their sustainability goals.
