GM Asks Suppliers to Sign ESG Pledge

What is happening? GM is asking its global suppliers to sign an ESG pledge. This pledge is an expansion of GM’s goal “to establish a collaborative supply chain that endeavors to minimize environmental impact and enhance long-term sustainability. “

Why is this important? Gm has 3 goals for suppliers. (1) to commit to carbon neutrality (2) the development of social responsibility programs (3) implementation of sustainable procurement practices

How will this be important? For checks and balances, Gm will utilize a 3rd party assessor, EcoVadis. Eco Vadis evaluates how well a company integrates the principles of sustainability and corporate social responsibility into their business and management system.
