CATL Sets 2035 Full Value Chain Carbon Neutrality Goal, Prioritizing Supply Chain

CATL unveiled a new carbon neutrality target at its 2026 core operations carbon neutrality press conference, planning to achieve full value chain carbon neutrality from mineral resources to finished battery products by 2035. Huang Bin, head of the planning and materials control department under the procurement center, said at the event that more than 80% of carbon emissions across the full lifecycle of lithium batteries come from various supply chain links, making coordinated supply chain efforts the key to achieving this goal.

CATL has started with carbon footprint accounting, covering the entire process of targeted carbon reduction, and has broken down the objective in detail while formulating a concrete action plan. The plan will focus on promoting emission reduction efforts across supply chain links to support the ultimate realization of the full value chain carbon neutrality target.
