Creating a sustainable future for the automotive sector

How can automotive companies accelerate progress against a growing range of environmental, social and governance concerns?

Decarbonization is just part of the transformation needed to make the automotive industry sustainable.

Companies that hope to thrive in the years ahead must engage with a much wider Environmental, social and governance (ESG) agenda now. This includes a growing range of planetary and social concerns such as deforestation, waste and loss of biodiversity, human rights in the value chain, equality and diversity.

EY teams can help you become more sustainable without sacrificing profitability, to take control of your future and to transform faster by making complex sustainability challenges simpler.

We bring the strategic insight needed to stay ahead of a growing ESG agenda and the broad skills and experience needed to drive action that makes a positive impact now.

Electrification is a critical step for automotive industries, but to achieve a truly more sustainable future, they must go beyond it. What should be on the broader agenda to achieve environmental, social and governance goals? Listen to the  podcast with Andrea Weinberger, Partner, Strategy and Transactions, Ernst & Young GmbH Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft.
