CATL Targets Carbon Neutrality for Core Operations by 2025, Eyes Supply Chain Next

CATL, the world’s largest EV battery maker, has announced a new sustainability milestone: achieving carbon neutrality across its core operations by the end of 2025. The company says its next focus will be on the broader supply chain, which currently accounts for over 80% of the carbon footprint of its products.

This move is part of CATL’s longer-term roadmap, which includes a goal of full value-chain carbon neutrality by 2035. The company is ramping up efforts to reduce emissions through cleaner production processes, renewable energy use, and closer collaboration with suppliers.

Industry observers see this as a significant step for the battery sector, which has faced growing scrutiny over its environmental impact. As global automakers and governments push for greener mobility, battery manufacturers are under pressure to align their operations with climate targets. CATL’s announcement signals that sustainability is becoming a core competitive factor in the battery industry.
