Recently, CDP (formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project), a global environmental disclosure organization, released its 2025 Climate Disclosure Scores. With the support of Carbon Newture, XPeng Motors earned a B score in its first-ever participation in the CDP climate rating, thanks to its continuous emissions reduction efforts and regular, high-quality disclosures on climate action. This represents the highest CDP climate score achieved to date by a Chinese automaker. In addition, XPeng Motors is the first emerging Chinese EV automaker to publicly disclose detailed Scope 3 emissions by category, and has received the MSCI ESG AAA rating for three consecutive years. These outstanding results from two leading international rating institutions underscore XPeng Motors’ leadership in green and sustainable development.
Corporate climate disclosure is an essential component of effective carbon emissions management and climate-related risk management. In 2025, XPeng Motors achieved a B score upon its first CDP submission, reflecting the company’s high-quality, transparent climate data disclosure as well as its robust management of climate-related risks and opportunities across production, operations, and supply chain collaboration. Through cross-departmental efforts, XPeng Motors will continue to strengthen its carbon data foundation, enhance emissions reduction management, accelerate green innovation, and move steadily toward becoming an industry benchmark.
As a global non-profit organization, CDP operates the world’s leading environmental disclosure system for capital markets, companies, cities, and governments. Its scores have become a key reference for international capital markets in assessing corporate environmental performance. CDP scores measure the extent to which disclosing entities understand and manage their environmental impacts, using a rigorous and detailed methodology to assess key environmental issues. The scoring process follows strict quality assurance procedures, and its progressive advancement framework requires companies to make comprehensive and substantive improvements to move up each level.
In recent years, XPeng Motors has made continuous progress in green and sustainable development, earning numerous accolades, including “National Green Supply Chain Management Enterprise,” “National Green Factory and National Intelligent Manufacturing Pilot Demonstration Project,” the 2024 China Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE China) “Science and Technology Progress Award,” and the highest “AAA” rating from MSCI ESG.
With “Technology + Sustainability” as its guiding principle for long-term development, XPeng Motors actively addresses climate change across multiple dimensions—from product and organizational carbon management, energy structure optimization, and green logistics, to eco-design-driven emissions reduction and tiered carbon empowerment across the supply chain. Through continuous green innovation and practical action, the company is charting a green transformation roadmap for new energy vehicle enterprises with strong local relevance.
Product decarbonization: Over 3.11 million tonnes of CO₂e reduced across the full product life cycle in a single year compared with internal combustion engine vehicles
Energy structure optimization: Photovoltaic power accounts for 29% of total electricity consumption at manufacturing bases
Green logistics: 1.273 million plastic bags reduced, with a steadily increasing share of new energy vehicles used in logistics transportation
Eco-design-driven decarbonization: Recycling rates of over 95% for self-produced retired power batteries and battery packs; closed-loop aluminum sheet recycling projects achieving 700 kg CO₂e reduction per vehicle
Supply chain decarbonization: A “tiered empowerment” approach activating “data-driven momentum,” jointly building a truly green automotive supply chain benchmark with partner Carbon Newture
XPeng Motors’ achievement of a B score in CDP climate disclosure not only represents strong recognition from CDP, a globally authoritative environmental disclosure organization, of the company’s progress in addressing climate change, but also marks a solid step forward in advancing low-carbon transformation across the automotive industry and pursuing a sustainable development pathway.
The differentiated green competitive advantage built on XPeng Motors’ robust ESG performance will help the company seize emerging growth opportunities in green consumption markets at home and abroad. Amid global uncertainty, XPeng Motors remains firmly committed to a path of green, high-quality development, moving forward with confidence and leadership.
