ABOUT US

Our vision is to design a socially, economically & environmentally sustainable future through responsible procurement.

The Accelerate initiative is a group of leaders in the mobility and vehicle industry sector aiming to design a socially, economically & environmentally sustainable future through responsible procurement.

Our mission

General Motors, John Deere, Stellantis, and Tenneco are the founding members of this initiative created with and coordinated by EcoVadis in 2023. Together we aim to accelerate the adoption of Environmental, Social and Governance topics that are most important to the mobility and vehicle sector. Our industry is in an accelerated transformation. As individual companies, we often work with the same value chain partners.

By working together as a team, we seek to create synergies in our approach to our vertical and horizontal supply chain partners which will enable us to reach our goals on vital topics faster, while monitoring other important environmental, labor & human rights and ethical risks.
