Greener Manufacturing at General Motors
Although the vehicle is what most people think of when talking about automakers and the environment, at GM we know it is just as important to continuously improve the sustainability of our manufacturing operations as well. This is part of our commitment to promote environmental responsibility in all aspects of our business – so our customers can be sure that the environmental impact of their vehicles has been considered during all stages of the product lifecycle.
Our Environmental Principles form the foundation for our manufacturing practices and each of our facilities tracks and reports its annual performance on energy use, water use, greenhouse gas emissions and waste. Our commitment to improvement and the innovative practices we’ve employed have helped us to make great strides in these areas.
General Motors is one of the world's largest vehicle manufacturers and employs about 204,000 people globally. GM facilities strive to conserve resources by using less energy, minimizing waste, and recycling materials. GM has also redeveloped former brownfield sites for new uses.
