Nature Positive Role of the Automotive Sector

Automotive companies can contribute to a nature- positive future by prioritizing actions to: 1) avoid and reduce impacts from operations, 2) avoid and reduce impacts from materials, 3) transform product offering, 4) conserve and restore nature, and 5) drive cross-sector collaboration (see Figure 7).Given how much of the sector’s impacts are seen upstream and downstream, these priority actions require companies to actively engage with suppliers, customers, peers and other industries to transform their value chains. Most of these actions are already being employed or gradually rolled out by businesses, this report calls for accelerated efforts in the automotive sector.
