Our Priorities Our topic areas reflect the priorities identified through our Sustainability Priority Assessment. The table shows the alignment between our priorities and our topic areas and provides a summary of our strategies and actions that are enabling us to work toward a more sustainable world. TOPIC AREA PRIORITIES STRATEGY & ACTIONS REDUCING CARBON EMISSIONS Product GHG Emissions Operational GHG Emissions & Efficiency Climate Risk & Resilience Advance our all-electric future by: • Planning to reach more than 1 million units of EV capacity in each of North America and China by 2025. • Planning to eliminate tailpipe emissions from new light-duty vehicles by 2035. • Investing more than $35 billion from 2020 to 2025 in EVs and AVs. • Building four battery cell manufacturing facilities through Ultium Cells LLC (an equally owned joint venture with LG Energy Solution) by mid-decade. • Planning to source 100% renewable electricity at sites in the United States by 2025 and globally by 2035. • Aiming to reduce operational energy intensity by 35% by 2035 against a 2010 baseline. • Committing to SBTi approved targets that include reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 72% by 2035 from a 2018 base year and Scope 3 GHG emissions from use of sold products of light-duty vehicles 51% per vehicle kilometer by 2035 from a 2018 base year. DESIGNING FOR THE ENVIRONMENT Circular Economy Waste Management Biodiversity & Ecosystem Health Water Management Pursue circular design in our products and Zero Waste in our operations by: • Aiming to reduce the carbon emission footprint of sourced materials in new GM vehicles by 2030. • Aiming to achieve over 90% waste diversion from landfills and incineration globally by 2025, with 86.4% achieved in 2021. • Partnering with strategic organizations on biodiversity and ecosystem health. • Aiming to reduce operational water intensity by 35% by 2035 against a 2010 baseline. ADVANCING TRANSFORMATIVE TECHNOLOGIES Socially Responsible Innovation EV Infrastructure Autonomous Technology & Ethics Pursue our path to EV leadership by: • Developing urban, last-mile delivery solutions through BrightDrop that help reduce carbon emissions and urban congestion. • Leading in the development and commercialization of AV technology with Cruise. • Increasing software-enabled services and subscriptions, including Ultifi and OnStar, to enhance the user experience for our customers. • Leveraging our HYDROTEC fuel cell platform to transform a variety of transportation modes, such as ships and planes, into all-electric products. • Taking our advanced driver assistance system Super Cruise to the next level by unveiling Ultra Cruise.
