Sustainability requirements: Suppliers must commit to achieving carbon neutrality for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by industry-specific deadlines: 2025 for Professional Services, 2035 for Manufacturing, and 2038 for Raw Materials and Logistics. By 2025, they must also achieve a minimum score of 50 in three key EcoVadis pillars: Labor & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement, which address issues like employee health and safety, nondiscrimination, child labor, corruption, and supply chain sustainability. GM requires suppliers to maintain advanced environmental management systems to reduce emissions, improve energy efficiency, conserve water, and minimize waste. Compliance with environmental laws and continuous improvement in sustainability practices are mandatory, alongside fair operating practices, human rights protections, and responsible sourcing. These standards aim to align suppliers with GM’s ambitious carbon neutrality goals and broader commitment to sustainable operations.
