Stellantis

Does the core business genuinely avoid or reduce emissions, or build climate resilience? Share of revenue that is actually 'green'. Fossil-dependent models score low.

Use of sold ICE products represents ~89% of Stellantis's Scope 3 emissions, and total reported emissions are ~391.9 billion kg CO2e; EV model launches have slipped repeatedly, the Ram 1500 REV is on hold, the electric Charger was near-cancelled, and U.S. EV market share stands at just 0.8% vs. Tesla's 46% in Q2 2025—meaning the core business still overwhelmingly sells high-emitting vehicles.

Credible, science-based targets (SBTi), a real net-zero plan with progress to date, and CDP disclosure — not just a dated press release.

Stellantis's 2038 carbon-net-zero and 50% Scope 1/2 reduction by 2025 targets are structured using SBTi methodology and Paris-aligned 1.5°C pathways on paper, but formal SBTi validation has not been independently confirmed; the flagship Dare Forward 2030 100%-BEV-Europe target was publicly abandoned in late 2025, and delivery on all interim milestones (Ram REV, Belvidere reopening, 48 BEV models by end-2024) has slipped materially.

Operational footprint, labour and social practices, and governance quality across the company's own operations and supply chain.

Stellantis produces a detailed 2024 Expanded Sustainability Statement compliant with ESRS and a Climate Policy Report, and has CARB partnership commitments including $10M for EV charging in underserved communities; however, serious social governance failures undercut ESG credibility, including thousands of indefinite UAW layoffs in 2024–2025 while simultaneously returning billions to shareholders via dividends and buybacks, breach of the Belvidere plant re-opening commitment, and an ousted CEO whose tenure drew widespread condemnation from organized labor.

Quality of disclosure, independent third-party verification, and how much hard data backs the company's claims.

Stellantis publishes annual CSR/sustainability statements, a 2024 Climate Policy Report with industry association review, and ESRS-compliant disclosures with Scope 1, 2, and 3 data; the company self-declares SBTi-methodology alignment but independent third-party SBTi target validation status is unconfirmed, and its own filings acknowledge that climate targets are contingent on external factors and may not be met.

Controversies, litigation, pollution, fossil-fuel lobbying, conflict-zone involvement and governance scandals. Higher means cleaner.

Stellantis carries significant active legal and regulatory exposure: criminal and civil diesel-emissions investigations across multiple European jurisdictions (France, Germany, Netherlands, UK, Italy, EU Commission); a Frankfurt public prosecutor fine in March 2025 for 'negligent breach of supervisory obligations'; a U.S. securities class action filed in 2024 alleging material misstatements about financial guidance; multiple Dutch consumer class actions over diesel non-compliance; and a pattern of breaking labor commitments documented by the UAW.
