Lear announced the strategic goal of tackling climate change: to achieve zero net emissions by 2050.
According to Lear's plan, by 2030, all production facilities of the company will use 100% renewable energy, reducing carbon emissions by 50%. The timetable of this plan is consistent with the plan for limiting global warming formulated by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) (based on the data of 20 19).
In this regard, lear corporation President and CEO Ray? Scott said: "Lear's goal is to achieve zero net emissions by 2050, and we have been working hard to achieve this goal for a long time. We believe that protecting the environment and designing and manufacturing innovative products with world-class quality can go hand in hand and promote each other. "
In order to achieve this goal, Lear will take a series of measures, including increasing the use of renewable energy, improving energy efficiency, increasing investment in automotive electrification and lightweight products, and improving the requirements for suppliers' sustainable development level. Lear corporation's firm determination to take these measures is based on its insight into the potential opportunities and challenges in the future, including the availability of renewable energy, the escalating requirements of local governments for environmental protection-related laws and regulations, the unpredictability of financial markets, and consumers' long-term demand for zero-emission and low-pollution solutions.
Ray. Scott also said: "In order to better achieve these goals, we will cooperate extensively with customers, suppliers and policy makers, focusing on leading technologies to reduce carbon emissions. At the same time, we will also vigorously advocate employees to actively contribute to creating a cleaner environment in their work and life. "
The goal of reducing carbon emissions is Lear's commitment to environmental, social and governance (ESG) responsibilities, and it is also a major focus of the company's upcoming sustainable development report. Other key points include zero deforestation and related policies to protect human rights.
