Geely

Geely is the strongest performing East Asian automaker on climate and environment, and it also outperforms several competitors in Europe and the U.S. But there is much more to do to become an industry-wide leader on climate. Geely Auto is part of Zhejiang Geely Holding Group, which also owns major stakes in Volvo, Mercedes, and Polestar: Volvo earned the highest scores in the scorecard for fossil-free and environmentally sustainable steel and aluminum; Mercedes has strong human rights policies and some progress on fossil-free and environmentally sustainable supply chains; and Polestar (which Volvo also has a major stake in) aims to produce a climate-neutral car that fully eliminates greenhouse gasses from production by 2030. Geely Auto could take inspiration from others in the wider Group on how to become a more equitable, sustainable, and fossil-free automaker.

Key Takeaways

  • Top-scoring East Asian automaker on climate and environment – and higher than several U.S. and European automakers

  • Climate and environment scores reflect its Scope 3 emissions disclosures and the targets and systems it has implemented to increase the amount of recycled steel and aluminum in its vehicles

  • Geely Auto and many EV and supply chain leaders, including Volvo, Polestar, and Mercedes, are part of the wider Zhejiang Geely Holding Group, which holds strong potential for collective gains

  • Geely recently published their Code of Conduct and joined the UN Global Compact and while these didn’t meet the scoring criteria for the supply chain, they provide an important foundation to expand responsible sourcing commitments, policies, and expectations up the supply chain
