Sustainability & Green Mobility Award
Recognizing organizations that measurably reduce environmental impact and advance responsible, circular mobility.
The Sustainability & Green Mobility Award honors projects and programs that deliver verifiable gains in decarbonization, resource efficiency, and lifecycle stewardship across the automotive value chain—from materials and manufacturing to use-phase and end-of-life.
Eligible entries include OEM initiatives, supplier programs, city or corridor pilots, battery and materials circularity schemes, low-carbon logistics, and data-driven tools that enable transparent environmental accountability.
Selection Criteria
- Carbon Impact: Demonstrated reduction in GHG emissions (Scopes 1–3 where applicable), supported by auditable data.
- Circularity & Materials: Recycled/biobased content, design for disassembly, repairability, and end-of-life recovery.
- Resource Efficiency: Energy, water, and waste optimization; renewable sourcing; clean manufacturing practices.
- Measurability & Verification: Clear KPIs, third-party verification, and transparent reporting cadence.
- Just & Inclusive Transition: Workforce upskilling, supplier enablement, and community benefits aligned with green objectives.
- Scalability & Replicability: Potential for cross-market adoption and policy/standard alignment in multiple regions.
Examples of Eligible Projects
Battery Lifecycle & Circularity
Second-life use, closed-loop recycling, transparent chain-of-custody, and reduced embodied carbon in packs/cells.
Low-Carbon Manufacturing
Renewable electricity PPA, heat electrification, zero-waste processes, and water-positive paint shops.
Green Logistics & Supply Chain
Intermodal optimization, alternative fuels, consolidated freight, and supplier decarbonization programs.
Urban & Shared Mobility Pilots
Zero-emission zones, shared fleets, charging access, and modal shift with measurable city-level outcomes.
Evaluation & Documentation
- KPIs: Baseline, target, and realized impact (tCO₂e, kWh/unit, m³ water/unit, waste diversion rate).
- Methodology: Declared accounting methods and boundary definitions; third-party review where applicable.
- Evidence Pack: Data tables, dashboards, independent attestations, and sample reports for verification.
- Continuity: Governance, resourcing, and annual improvement plan for sustained outcomes.
Eligibility
Open to OEMs, suppliers, mobility operators, start-ups, research institutions, and public-private partnerships.
Projects must be operational (pilot or production) with at least one reporting cycle of measurable results.
Timeline
- Nominations open: January
