Earlier this month, Nissan Motor Co Ltd launched Nissan Sustainability 2022 — a plan to reduce the company’s “environmental impact, strengthen diversity and inclusion, and enhance governance, in line with the company’s mid-term aims.”
This is the first time Nissan has announced a comprehensive sustainability plan that “pulls together all aspects of its environmental, social and governance initiatives into a unified approach.”
The plan is ‘anchored’ by the company’s on-going Nissan Green Program, which was launched in 2001 with a long-term vision (towards 2050).
Nissan Sustainability 2022 will ensure that the company is on track to deliver on these goals as it approaches the halfway point, while also expanding the company’s ‘sustainability mind-set’ to incorporate ‘diversity and inclusion, as well as stronger governance’.
Hitoshi Kawaguchi, Nissan’s senior vice-president and chief sustainability officer, said: “Nissan Sustainability 2022 is fully aligned with our mid-term objectives of delivering steady growth and leading the automotive industry’s technology evolution.
"We believe that sustainable mobility will help to achieve a world with zero emissions and zero fatalities.
"Our plan, further enhanced by our efforts to be a truly diverse and inclusive company, will make an important contribution to that effort.”
