Automotive sector China deep-dive

In total, 65% of China’s gross domestic product is at risk due to nature loss. However, the Chinese automotive industry, a keystone of the Chinese manufacturing sector, is undergoing profound transformations, such as increasing electrification. This transformation provides the opportunity to support a wider nature-positive transition in China and abroad.

Written in collaboration with Oliver Wyman, the Nature Positive: Role of the Automotive Sector China Deep-dive insight report explores key challenges, including improving water stewardship, prioritizing land use protection through the value chain and reducing nature impacts from critical minerals.
