Cleaner

We recognise our responsibility to protect the planet and are committed to minimising the impact we have on the environment. Through AMIEO Sustainability 2030, we are tackling global sustainability challenges through innovative local action.

Carbon Neutrality

Spearheading the company's global carbon neutrality commitments, aiming to achieve the target ahead of 2050.

  • Aim to reduce manufacturing carbon emissions by 52% by 2030

  • Aim to reduce life cycle emissions by 30% by 2030 (vs 2018), including carbon emission reduction from logistics and offices in the region, in line with Global objectives

  • Continue to explore opportunities to expand the use of renewable energy at all Nissan offices, manufacturing sites and warehouses in the region.

Electrifying society beyond EVs

As the pioneer of electrification, Nissan continues to champion sustainability though our sustainable energy solutions. By extending the lifecycle of our batteries, we embrace a true circular economy, reducing environmental impact and preserving natural resources. Nissan will also launch affordable on-board bi-directional charging on selected electric vehicles from 2026. Vehicle to Grid (V2G) technology allows EV owners to use electricity stored in their car's battery to power their homes, or sell it back into the grid.

Resource Responsibly

Establish an innovative circular model in the region and promote the use of sustainable materials.

Responsible water usage

Responsible water usage is a priority for every entity in the region.

We are committed to enhancing water consumption and conservation practices and Nissan entities across AMIEO are working to minimise water use and manage wastewater quality to reduce risk.

Clean Air

Striving to deliver a cleaner and healthier environment for everyone.

    • Accelerate electrification plans in Europe with four new electric vehicles planned for Europe.

    • Beyond Europe, we aim to expand electrification across the region, bringing new electrified technologies and all-electric vehicles to new markets.

    • Make our EV ecosystem vision a reality starting in Europe. AC bi-directional capability will be available on all Nissan EVs by 2030 and we will commercialise vehicle-to-grid technology starting in the UK from 2026.

    • Implement new manufacturing solutions and materials in our vehicles to reduce VOC emissions from production, improve cabin air quality and reduce emissions of fine particulate matter from vehicle usage. Our UK Sunderland Plant is leading the way, aiming to perform at levels below EU and UK markets’ VOC emissions regulatory requirements.

Electrifying the Supply Chain

Bringing together a wealth of partners, Nissan Sunderland Plant has joined the Electric Freightway consortium to work together to transform sustainable freight logistics through deployment of eHGVs and high-power charging infrastructure. This initiative, the first of its kind in the UK, allows for the development of an electric, end-to-end supply chain - marking a major milestone in our EV36Zero vision to transform the plant into a flagship EV hub.

Glossary

Sustainability

To put it simply, sustainability is fulfilling the needs of current generations while not compromising the needs of future generations. This includes, making sure that we balance between economic growth, which is a must, but also taking care of the environment, as well as social wellbeing.

Carbon Footprint

Carbon footprint refers to the total amount of carbon emissions produced by a company or individual. It's calculated by aggregating the amount of emissions from operations over 12 months.

Net-zero emissions

Net-zero emissions is achieved by a company when the whole amount of greenhouse gases (GHG) released and the amount removed from the atmosphere are in balance.

Carbon Neutrality

Carbon Neutrality means that the amount of CO2 released into the atmosphere from a company's activities is balanced by an equivalent amount being removed. For a company to achieve carbon neutrality, it must achieve net zero emissions of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere across its operations.

Circular Economy

The circular economy promotes resource proficiency by replacing a linear "take, make, dispose of" model of production with one where materials can be reused, recycled or repurposed at the end of each life cycle.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion or DEI is a term used to describe policies and programmes that promote the representation and participation of different groups of individuals based on age, gender, religion, abilities, skills, expertise and more.

Environmental

The environmental aspect of ESG focuses on how an organisation impacts and protects the planet and its ecosystems, including policies relating to carbon neutrality, responsible resource usage, water positivity and clean air.

ESG

ESG stands for Environmental, Social and Governance (Stewardship). It is a term used to measure how a business impacts the environment and society, as well as how rigorous and transparent its governance is.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions

A greenhouse gas is an atmospheric gas, such as carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide, which absorb and emit radiation produced by solar warming of the Earth's surface. Excess greenhouse gasses cause climate change by trapping heat in the atmosphere – contributing to extreme weather, wildfires and droughts.

Materiality Matrix

A materiality matrix is an assessment tool that helps companies to decide on which ESG issues to focus their investments on. This involves surveying stakeholders on ESG metrics to help rank them on importance and impact. Metrics could highlight potential risks and opportunities.

Science Based Targets

Science-based targets are a list of aims established by a organisation to provide it with a pathway to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. Targets are deemed to be 'science-based' if they are aligned with what the latest scientific analysis states is necessary to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement.

SDGs

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), adopted by all UN member states in 2015, are a universal call to action to promote prosperity while protecting the planet.

The agenda sets out 17 wide-ranging goals with 169 targets. They aim to transform the world and call for action to end poverty and inequality, protect the planet, and ensure that all people enjoy health, justice, and prosperity.

Social

Social in ESG covers all the ways companies interact with their employees and the communities in which they operate, as well as DEI efforts, safety and quality.

Governance

Governance in ESG refers to decision-making processes, as well as businesses' ethical behaviour and transparency with stakeholders about its activities.

This includes Corporate Governance, Risk Management, Compliance & Ethics.

Sustainability Report

A sustainability report demonstrates the economic, environmental and social, and governance performance of organisations. By publishing these reports, businesses can show their commitment to sustainable development and allow it to be verified by both internal and external stakeholders.

Vehicle-to-Grid

Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology allows electricity to flow in both directions to and from electric vehicle batteries, allowing the energy stored in the battery to be sold back to the grid when the demand for power is high. Vehicles can then charge when demand is lower or renewable generation is high, giving V2G a role in carbon reduction efforts.
