Automobili Lamborghini and Sustainability

Safeguarding the world and the environment is a key element of Lamborghini’s conduct as an industrial enterprise. The Company pursues a specific business strategy based on the concept of ESG (Environment, Social and Governance values), which describes how sustainability is found where three factors come together: environmental impact, social impact, and the more internal aspects of Company structure and governance. Lamborghini’s goal is to create value by acting responsibly towards the world in which it operates, thereby contributing to the sustainable development of society and the economy.

SUPPORTING THE UN'S SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS

In 2020, Lamborghini celebrated 75 years since the establishment of the United Nations by adopting 14 of its 17 SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals), continuing its commitment to supporting these goals and recognizing them as guidelines to be followed. 2021 also saw the creation of the Sustainability Project Team, an interdepartmental unit within the Company to better coordinate the activities, initiatives and projects implemented in order to further Lamborghini’s pursuit of environmental sustainability.

DIREZIONE COR TAURI, ANOTHER STEP FORWARD

Automobili Lamborghini is continuing its path to decarbonization with a new ambitious target, supported by the biggest investment in the history of the company.

The “Direzione Cor Tauri” strategy, which involves electrification of the model range and decarbonization of the production site, has extended its commitment to emissions reductions across the entire value chain. The new target, destined to leave a significant mark on the company’s history is a 40% reduction in CO2 emissions per car across the whole value chain by 2030 (vs 2021). To achieve this, the strategy encompasses the entire enterprise, from production to the supply chain and logistics, to the product use phase, covering the entire product life cycle and involving the whole company in a collective commitment.

The “Direzione Cor Tauri” program delivers a pact to future generations, inspiring and serving as a model for innovation and sustainable progress on the path to total carbon neutrality for Automobili Lamborghini by 2050.
