Nissan unveils new sustainability plan for 2030

Nissan Motor Co today published its Integrated Report 2024, which showcases the company’s business progression as it drives toward its Ambition 2030 vision, with sustainability at its core.

The inaugural report presents not only Nissan’s vision, strategies, business plans, and financial information, but also its mid- to long-term impact on society. Through various efforts, Nissan aims to create safe and secure communities, contribute to the advancement of society, and help restore nature and ecosystems.

The company’s initiatives include the fifth-generation Nissan Green Program 2030 (NGP2030) as well as a strategic compilation of Nissan’s social initiatives, the Nissan Social Program 2030 (NSP2030) – both of which support the company’s overarching business strategy.

Nissan Green Program 2030
In 2002, Nissan announced its first mid-term environmental action plan, Nissan Green Program (NGP), and has since worked to achieve its longstanding environmental philosophy of ‘a symbiosis of people, vehicles, and nature’.

NGP2030 identifies climate change, resource dependency, and air quality and water as three key material priorities to address. Nissan strives to adapt to a scenario limiting global temperature increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius or less to move toward carbon neutrality, transitioning to a circular economy, and minimizing dependence and impact on nature and ecosystems.

- Key sustainability targets in NGP2030 include:
- Reducing per-vehicle lifecycle CO₂ emissions by 30%
- Reducing per-vehicle manufacturing CO₂ emissions by 52%
- Reducing per-vehicle driving CO₂ emissions for new models by 50% in four major markets: Japan, the US, Europe, and China. In addition, Nissan will reduce the same category of CO₂ emissions by 32.5% globally
- Increasing sustainable material ratio in Japan, the U.S., Europe, and China to 40
