We work hard to help create a better planet (Environment), cultivate social inclusion around the world (Social) and embody the highest standards of integrity in our business dealings (Governance). We have grouped these E-S-G priority areas under the notion of sustainability. We believe that promoting sustainability is a noble and necessary cause that will improve lives across the world.
At Motherson, we acknowledge that we have a responsibility to protect and preserve our planet. Thus, in accordance with the Green House Gas Protocol, we are focusing on reducing our direct Scope 1 & 2 emissions whilst continuously evaluating Scope 3 emissions, in order to meet our ambitious target of achieving Carbon Net Zero across our current global operations by 2040.
To highlight our ESG activities, we have created a sustainability icon. It represents a tree of growth, symbolising the three areas of Environment, Social and Governance. The circles also stand for the key stakeholders for whom we do this: Investors, Customers and the Communities. Our Sustainability work at Motherson happens at the intersection of their needs and our own ambitions.
Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) is becoming a common reference and way of categorising the full scope of Sustainability in business.
