Nissan Sustainability Actions

Published ESG data book

Nissan released its first ESG data book in 2023. The book brings together information on environmental, social, and governance topics, which means how the company handles climate, people, and business oversight. It says the company wants to be clearer about its work on cutting carbon across the value chain, supporting a circular economy, improving diversity, equity, and inclusion, and respecting human rights. The company also said this was part of ongoing dialogue with stakeholders and a way to build trust through more transparent reporting.

Launched Integrated Report 2024

In 2024, Nissan published its first Integrated Report. This type of report combines business results with sustainability information, so readers can see financial and non-financial performance together. Nissan said the report covers its strategy, business plans, and the wider social impact of its work. It also linked the report to its new sustainability plan, including the Nissan Green Program 2030 and Nissan Social Program 2030, which guide its environmental and social work through 2030.

Set 2050 carbon neutrality goal

Nissan has set a goal to reach carbon neutrality across its operations and the full life cycle of its products by 2050. The life cycle includes raw materials, manufacturing, transport, use, and disposal. The company also says it wants every all-new Nissan vehicle offering in key markets to be electrified by the early 2030s. This shows a clear shift toward lower-emission transport, although the target is long term and depends on future delivery.

Defined Green Program targets

Nissan Green Program 2030 sets measurable environmental targets. It aims to cut per-vehicle lifecycle CO2 emissions by 30%, manufacturing CO2 emissions by 52%, and driving CO2 emissions from new models by 50% in major markets, using 2018 as the base year. It also aims to increase sustainable materials to 40% in key regions and improve water and air management at manufacturing sites. These targets show a structured plan for reducing environmental impact in production and product use.

Set social program pillars

Nissan Social Program 2030 sets six social focus areas: safety, quality, responsible sourcing, intellectual property, communities, and the power of employees. The company says this plan includes diversity, equity, and inclusion, employee human rights, learning and development, and health and safety. It also covers community work and sourcing practices. In plain terms, Nissan is trying to make its workplace, supply chain, and community work more structured and measurable through 2030.

Joined Race to Zero

Nissan said it became the first Japanese automaker to join the Race to Zero global campaign backed by the United Nations. Race to Zero is a climate campaign that asks companies and other groups to work toward net zero emissions. Nissan linked this to wider efforts to reduce emissions across its value chain and expand renewable energy use. The company also said it wants to work with sectors, communities, and governments on cleaner energy and lower emissions.

Issued sustainable finance framework

Nissan announced a sustainable finance framework in 2022. A sustainable finance framework is a set of rules for raising money for projects with environmental or social benefits. Nissan said the framework would support fundraising for environmentally friendly product development, new technologies, and new mobility services. This suggests the company is trying to connect its financing with its sustainability plans, not just its vehicle business.

Improved energy management

Nissan has also reported energy and resource actions in its regional operations. One example in the AMIEO region is a solar energy system at its Dubai headquarters, which provides 30% of the power needed for operations in the Jebel Ali area. The company also says it is focusing on energy management and renewable electricity in its operations. These steps point to practical work on lowering operational emissions, not just long-term targets.

Recognised for energy management

Nissan North America received Superior Energy Performance 50001 certification, and the Smyrna site received Gold recognition. ISO 50001 is an international standard for managing energy use more efficiently. This kind of certification suggests the company has formal systems in place to track and improve energy performance at specific sites. It does not cover the whole business, but it is a concrete operational action.
