Conserving Energy in Our Facilities Our goal to become carbon neutral in our operations will be achieved in part through an ambitious energy conservation and renewable energy program. An important pillar in GM’s carbon reduction strategy for Scope 1 & 2 emissions is to focus on energy efficiency. Globally, our plants continue to work on improving energy efficiency and reducing GHG emissions through the use of an energy management system (EnMS). In addition to our Science-Based Target goal for GHG emissions, GM expanded our energy intensity goal for operations to 2035 with a 35% reduction from a 2010 baseline. Following are some of the programs and strategies that we deploy to conserve energy in our operations. U.S. DOE 50001 Ready Program In 2021, 27 GM U.S. manufacturing facilities, or 93% of our U.S. manufacturing footprint, implemented the U.S. DOE 50001 Ready program. GM has implemented 50001 Ready at 27 manufacturing and two nonmanufacturing facilities—more than any other participating company. In 2021, we expanded the program to two nonmanufacturing sites in the United States, two plants in Canada and one in Mexico. We plan to expand this program to all manufacturing facilities globally to continuously monitor and improve our EnMS. Better Buildings Low Carbon Pilot We are participating in the DOE Better Buildings program to demonstrate pathways to achieve low or zero carbon in the operation of buildings and manufacturing plants. Energy Star’s Building Portfolio Manager (BPM) GM uses data analytics to measure and track energy consumption globally. BPM is an example of a tool that allows us to benchmark performance and make continuous improvements. 2021 Energy Star Certifications for Superior Energy Management • IT Innovation Centers in Texas and Arizona • Enterprise Data Centers (2) in Michigan • Flint Assembly • Fort Wayne Assembly GM Energy Strategy Increasing Energy Efficiency Reduce energy consumption at our facilities. Sourcing Renewables Source through direct investments, green tariffs and power purchase agreements. Addressing Intermittency Mitigate against gaps in renewable energy for electricity transmission. Policy Advocacy Work to drive down costs and increase renewable energy for electricity opportunities. Goal: Plan to source 100% renewable electricity at sites in the United States by 2025 and globally by 2035.
