Driving a more sustainable future

Sustainability is the driving force behind new technologies that are changing the way cars are manufactured and driven. Our industry is undergoing momentous change as we speak, and this is happening across the range of premium and luxury brands that we represent.

At Jardine Motors Group, we have always put sustainability at the top of our agenda as it is essential in taking a social and ethical approach to how we do business and deliver growth.

The Management team at Jardine Motors Group recently gathered for our regular Managers Meeting to specifically focus on our sustainability strategy ‘Building Towards 2030’, presented to us by the Jardine Motors Group Sustainability Manager.

When we talk about sustainability, we envisage a fundamental approach set at the heart of our business strategy. Our strategy is built on three pillars:

1. Driving Responsible Consumption in terms of how we reduce our energy use and promote the responsible consumption of products whether that’s internally in our business or with customers and suppliers.

2. Leading Climate Action which focuses on climate risk management and de-carbonisation to support lowering our environmental footprint and impact.

3. Shaping Social Inclusion which is about fostering an inclusive and diverse culture considerate of the wellbeing, health, and safety of all our people and promoting learning and development. The outcome of all this work is to help positively influence the future of mobility.

In our mission to be the best we’ve always tried to lead by example and challenge industry norms, and when it comes to sustainability it’s no different. JMG has always prioritised sustainability and we are proud to say that, as a Group, we use 100% renewable electricity and 99% of our waste is diverted from landfill. However, there is much more to be done, and I’m committed to ensuring we drive forward our sustainability strategy and take meaningful action to implement it in 2022, and beyond.

"We are privileged to have an opportunity to make a lasting and significant impact, for our people, communities, and the planet."

We aim to achieve this by bedding in the Sustainability Framework to support JMG’s sustainability strategy and identifying the right metrics and targets to demonstrate progress against JMG’s sustainability objectives. But as always, our colleagues will play a critical role in developing and delivering the sustainability agenda and bringing sustainability to life.

Sustainability has become much broader than it was a decade ago and is something I feel passionately about. Environmental impact remains a critical component, but it is also about doing the right thing and taking a social and ethical approach to how we do business and deliver growth. We are privileged to have an opportunity to make a lasting and significant impact, for our people, communities, and the planet.
