NIO unveiled in COP28 series of meetings

Recently, the 28th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP28) was held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. With nearly 100,000 participants, including heads of state or prime ministers, negotiators, activists and entrepreneurs, this conference is the largest UN climate change conference to date.

From December 5 to December 6, NIO, as a member of the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), was invited to participate in the China Corner Automotive and Transportation Sector Side Event hosted by China Automotive Technology Research Center, a roundtable discussion on "Fair and Just Energy Transition" hosted by World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), and a multi-stakeholder side event on promoting harmonious coexistence between man and nature hosted by China Green Carbon Foundation. Dr. Shen Feng, Executive Vice President and Chairman of the Quality Committee of NIO and Chief Director of ESG Affairs of NIO, shared the innovative measures and achievements of NIO in promoting green transformation of transportation energy and harmonious coexistence between man and nature at the meeting.

Implement the Science-Based Carbon Targets initiative (SBTi) and carry out sustainable practices throughout the industry chain

At the side meeting in the field of automobile and transportation in China on December 5, Dr. Shen Feng said that NIO adheres to its commitment to sustainability, implements the Science-Based Carbon Targets initiative (SBTi)(SBTi), and carries out sustainable practices in the whole industry chain, such as adopting Clean+ materials to provide users with a safer, healthier and greener "second living room"; Develop a carbon reduction initiative library around internal carbon pricing tools, becoming one of the first automobile enterprises in China to formulate an internal carbon pricing mechanism; NIO's second advanced manufacturing site adopts a number of green manufacturing measures to reduce resource consumption, etc.

Build a low-carbon and efficient energy ecosystem and promote a fair and just energy transition

In the discussion on "fair and just energy transformation", Dr. Shen Feng said that the development of pure electric passenger vehicles has promoted the energy transformation of China's automobile industry. To further reduce carbon emissions, NIO installed distributed photovoltaic power generation equipment on 100% of the roof of the production site, and its photovoltaic utilization rate exceeded 30%. NIO is also committed to the construction of integrated power stations for light storage and replacement, making full use of clean energy. In 2022, NIO successfully built the world's first 100% clean energy conversion plant in Lhasa. The electric energy used by the station comes from solar energy, hydropower and other clean energy sources in Xizang, meeting the charging needs of new energy vehicle users in Lhasa City and jointly building a green, low-carbon, safe, efficient and open energy ecology. In addition, NIO provides battery rental service (BaaS) for users based on battery replacement mode. The battery can be upgraded flexibly on demand. Under intensive and large-scale management, the whole life cycle monitoring is conducive to prolonging battery life and reducing the total size of battery resources in the whole life cycle by 20%.

Initiate a global eco-building plan to work with the user community

In terms of ecosystem and biodiversity protection, on NIO Day in 2021, NIO publicly launched the global ecological co-construction plan-Clean Parks, hoping to support the use of intelligent electric vehicles and clean energy infrastructure in global nature reserves by giving full play to the advantages of clean energy use, building a clean and low-carbon energy self-recycling system, and protecting the authenticity and integrity of ecosystems. As the world's first open platform initiated by automobile enterprises to support the construction of national parks and nature reserves, Clean Parks has cooperated with 16 nature reserves around the world, providing 59 ecological patrol vehicles accumulatively, assisting the ecological patrol and scientific research of nature reserves and other positive use scenarios, so that more ecologically sensitive areas can get truly more sustainable ecological protection. To encourage community participation, NIO launched the Citizen Scientist Program, which has so far involved more than 300 users.

Since its establishment, NIO has continued to implement the vision of "Blue Sky Coming", focusing on low-carbon development, ecological protection and environmental management, practicing sustainable concepts by building a green industrial chain with a full life cycle, building green ecology together with upstream and downstream partners, and deeply supporting the construction of national parks and nature reserves to create a better future and clear sky.
