Trend
Nissan is awarded a trend score of =. If the company were reassessed in the near term, its score would most likely remain the same. Nissan has not established long-term targets that align with those set for the low-carbon pathway, despite its steadily decreasing manufacturing emissions over the past 5 years. With an expected growth in sales of plug-in hybrids and battery electric vehicles in China, Nissan’s outlook is equally aligned with the low-carbon pathway. However, Nissan has yet to disclose a comprehensive low-carbon transition plan, and its share of sales from battery electric vehicles have decreased since 2017.
