WULING MOTORS has published its Environmental, Social and Governance Report 2025, detailing progress in decarbonisation, supply-chain governance and workforce development across its operations in Mainland China, Hong Kong and Indonesia for the year ended 31 December 2025.

Key environmental metrics • Carbon intensity (tCO₂e per RMB10,000 of output) fell to 0.0723, down 19.5 % from the 2020 baseline, meeting the company’s 2025 target of a 20 % reduction. • Direct (Scope 1) emissions totalled 8,701 tCO₂e; indirect (Scope 2) emissions were 75,983 tCO₂e. • Renewable electricity sourced from rooftop photovoltaic systems at several plants reached 13.86 million kWh, contributing to total electricity use of 168.12 million kWh. • Hazardous waste sent for recycling amounted to 704 t; non-hazardous recyclable waste totalled 39,500 t, while wastewater discharge stood at 325,868 t.

Green-manufacturing initiatives • Three on-site rooftop solar stations generated an average 2.10 million kWh per month; Shandong Branch’s 7.38 MW array alone produced 7.83 million kWh, cutting coal use by 2,600 t annually. • Nearly 1,000 industrial robots have been deployed, lifting automation rates above 60 % and raising robot utilisation at Wuling Industrial to over 90 %. • A digital energy-monitoring system now tracks consumption and emissions in real time, while a new digital safety-management platform covers 712 employees and posts a 100 % hazard-rectification rate.

Climate strategy and targets • Net-zero goals set for Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030 and Scope 3 by 2055, supported by a company-wide carbon-emission management system that has maintained certification for four consecutive years. • A “Green and Low-Carbon Development Roadmap” commits to boosting clean-energy uptake, localising supply chains to curb logistics emissions and expanding new-energy vehicle (NEV) production toward a >50 % share of unit sales.

Product quality and supply-chain oversight • Zero recalls or major product-safety complaints were recorded in 2025. • All suppliers must sign integrity agreements; 100 % compliance was achieved. • A localisation programme prioritises nearby suppliers to trim transport emissions and costs; 635 suppliers were active during the year, with 188 based in Southern China and 299 in Eastern China.

Workforce development and safety • The company employed 4,896 staff, with full-time employees accounting for 4,835. • Total training averaged 36 hours per employee, with 100 % coverage. • One work-related fatality was reported; 987 lost workdays resulted from injuries. • WULING MOTORS introduced the “Digital Safety Management Platform” and ran 4,350 hours of emergency-response training, including eight live drills covering fire, gas leaks and flood scenarios.

Community engagement • Donations continued to designated villages for rural revitalisation, focusing on industrial development, education and infrastructure. • The labour union’s “Wuling Care Fund” extended financial aid to staff facing hardship, while a certified “Two-Star Women’s Care Room” was opened at the Technical Center.

Risk and governance enhancements • A Chief Compliance Officer role was created, overseeing the audit & legal department. • A risk-assessment exercise identified ten major operational risks, with mitigation plans approved by the Board. • The ESG Committee convened two meetings, validated the 2024 ESG Report and set the 2025 work plan.

Looking ahead, WULING MOTORS plans to align with China’s “dual-carbon” agenda by further integrating clean energy, scaling NEV production and reinforcing its global expansion strategy, while continuing to embed ESG principles in all aspects of its operations.
