Organizations in the Automotive industry (motor vehicles and parts) are under increasing pressure to improve ESG and sustainability performance, from your internal leadership and employees to your external stakeholders such as investors, creditors, policy makers, supply chain partners, and consumers. This presents many challenges depending on your internal competencies and knowledge of material reporting topics and KPIs for the Automotive industry.
SGS has researched the ESG and sustainability reporting activities of the top 100 Automotive companies.
