In addition to NIO, Li Auto, Xiaomi Auto, and Leapmotor also made the list. Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology officially released the 2025 National Green Factory list, with NIO’s Advanced Manufacturing Plant officially recognized as a “National Green Factory.” It should be noted that according to the “Interim Measures for the Cultivation and Management of Green Factory Gradients,” the evaluation index system covers five dimensions: land use intensification, production cleanliness, resource efficiency, energy low-carbonization, and product greening. Among these, the low-carbonization and resource efficiency indicators each account for 30% of the weight. According to policy planning, by 2030, the output value share of green factories at national, provincial, and municipal levels will increase to 40%, and the country will cultivate a batch of benchmark zero-carbon factory enterprises. NIO Advanced Manufacturing Plant NIO’s Advanced Manufacturing Plant embedded “low-carbon genes” into every manufacturing process from the initial planning stage. In terms of energy management, the factory has achieved real-time monitoring and intelligent optimization of energy consumption, further reducing per-vehicle energy consumption and carbon intensity while ensuring production efficiency. According to NIO’s 2024 ESG report, during the reporting period, NIO’s manufacturing operations utilized a total of 97,013.15 MWh of renewable electricity, accounting for 56.6% of total manufacturing electricity consumption—an increase of 74.5% compared to 2023. In water resource management, the factory has achieved 100% wastewater recycling and reuse through a graded treatment and recycling system. Meanwhile, NIO’s plant area has extensively deployed photovoltaic power generation systems, combined with energy management systems to optimize energy usage. NIO Advanced Manufacturing Plant This recognition as a National Green Factory marks a key milestone in NIO’s ESG strategy. In addition, in terms of ESG ratings, NIO has maintained its MSCI AA rating for consecutive years and ranks in the top tier of Chinese automakers in the S&P CSA rating. On the international recognition front, NIO has been selected for the Corporate Knights “Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations” for four consecutive years.
