Accelerating the energy transition at FORVIA

Elisabeth Delval
The mobility industry is racing to net zero – and as an automotive supplier, FORVIA is at the heart of this transformation. At FORVIA, we are accelerating our own transition to net zero, while also supporting our customers in their drive to create more sustainable vehicles.

As an automotive supplier, FORVIA provides, on average, half of a car’s content. In the energy transition, we are working to address the CO₂ emissions throughout the vehicle’s lifecycle: from manufacturing to usage and recycling phases – from cradle to grave.

We support automakers in their drive toward ultra-low and zero-emission mobility by pioneering hydrogen solutions, energy-management innovations for battery electric vehicles and depollution technologies for combustion engines.

At FORVIA, our goal is to achieve net zero by 2045, with two intermediate milestones: CO₂ neutrality on scopes 1 & 2 by 2025; -45% on scope 3 by 2030. “Using less, better, longer” is our mantra. We design our products for scope 3: working with fewer virgin materials, transitioning to frugal architecture, and creating products that last longer and are easier to recycle. On scopes 1 & 2, we have been leveraging partnerships with major energy players since 2019 to implement and accelerate energy reduction strategies, generate green power at our own sites, and purchase renewable energy. We are on track to achieve our ambitious net zero goal approved by the Science Based Targets initiative – a first in the automotive industry.

Mobility is at the heart of people’s lives: in the climate transition, the car must be both sustainable and affordable. At FORVIA, we are challenging ourselves to inspire future mobility in a cost-conscious way.
