Tesla has published its 2023 Impact Report, showcasing significant strides in environmental sustainability, product efficiency, and social responsibility. The report outlines Tesla’s ongoing efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve product lifecycles, and maintain high standards in its supply chain.
Key Highlights:
Emissions Reduction: In 2023, Tesla customers avoided over 20 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent by using Tesla products. Each Tesla vehicle on the road averts approximately 51 tons of CO2 over its lifetime.
Product Efficiency:Tesla’s Model Y All-Wheel Drive achieves 3.8 EPA miles per kWh, making it the most efficient electric SUV. Tesla vehicles are designed to require less frequent charging and produce fewer emissions per mile.
Sustainable Manufacturing:Tesla has reduced water use per vehicle by nearly 25% over the last five years, achieving one of the lowest water withdrawals per vehicle in the industry. The company sources 100% renewable energy for its operational electricity load and matches Supercharger electricity consumption with renewable energy annually.
Battery Longevity: Tesla’s batteries are engineered for over 200,000 miles of driving, with Model 3 and Model Y batteries retaining 85% of their capacity after extensive use.
Supply Chain Ethics: Tesla maintains strict standards for human rights and environmental sustainability in its supply chain. In 2023, the company audited 156 suppliers and interviewed 3,645 workers to identify and address forced labor and human rights abuses.
Recycling and Material Recovery: The company supported the recovery of enough battery materials to produce 43,000 Model Y Rear-Wheel Drive vehicles. Tesla continues to prioritize recycling to reduce raw material extraction.
Safety and Efficiency: Tesla vehicles incorporate advanced driver-assist technologies, resulting in lower collision rates. The company’s Safety Score Beta program incentivizes safer driving behavior, contributing to fewer accidents and lower insurance premiums.
Community Engagement: Tesla received over 5.9 million job applications in 2023, a 64% increase from 2022. The company remains committed to fostering a diverse and talented workforce through various educational and professional development programs.
