TESLA

What is a CSR report ?

A Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) policy is an official statement of a company’s

commitment to managing the social, environmental and economic effects of its operations.
They often include specific and not so specific targets that allow investors to monitor the
firm’s progress towards achieving its aims.
What is TESLA’s CSR Policy ?

Tesla has some aspects of CSR hardcoded into its DNA. Its mission statement is “to
accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy”. The manufacturer of electric vehicles
(EV) has become synonymous with greener transportation and other hi-tech services. It is
the pioneer of projects such as driverless cars and improved battery efficiency, with such
schemes also opening doors to more efficient energy use in the wider community.
We Will discuss the following topics :
➔ Environmental Impact
➔ Social Policies
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS

1. RENEWABLE SOURCES OF ENERGY

2. LOW CARBON EMISSIONS
3. TESLA’S SUPPLY CHAIN
4. WATER USAGE
5. AIR QUALITY
Renewable sources of energy

Tesla has designed solar panels to shift towards a greener and a renewable source of energy.

Tesla solar panels have generated more electricity than has been consumed by our vehicles and factories
between 2012 and 2021
Low Carbon Emissions

A cleaner grid in Europe means a bigger emissions gap between Model 3 and a comparable ICE vehicle
Steps to reduce carbon emission even further.

1. Building new, better designed and more efficient factories

2. Covering roof space with solar panels

3. Leveraging AI to make our factories more efficient

4. Transitioning to in-house manufactured 4680 Tesla cells,

whose production process can reduce energy consumption
by more than 70%

5. Utilizing renewable energy as much as possible

throughout all our operations
Tesla’s Supply Chain

Longer battery longevity is the most sustainable option

Every battery used in R&D or returned from the field that cannot be remanufactured is
recycled
Water usage

The firm has made considerable progress in terms of its water use. In 2018, it established a
water-use baseline for its manufacturing operations of 5.2 cubic metres of water per vehicle.
In 2019, it went even further, and reduced water usage by 45% to 2.9 cubic metres per
vehicle, which compares well with the four cubic meters used to make each ICE vehicle.
Air Quality

The Covid pandemic and associated lockdowns offered a perfect opportunity for scientists to
study the improvement in air quality associated whilst ICE vehicles were off the road. Reports
from Europe show an improvement in air quality which suggests Tesla could go some way to
scaling back the 4.2m deaths per year attributed to air pollution.
SOCIAL POLICIES

Apart from taking measures to improve the environment Tesla also has a number of social policies to
help its workers and its customers, it also helps in improving the environment, some of those schemes
will be discussed in the further slides.
Parental and family leave benefits

Whether it's family planning or support for employees spending time with their family after the birth or
adoption of a child, Tesla provides benefit and leave options to all active full-time employees in the U.S.
Disaster Relief

Tesla also supports the countries and people struck with a disaster whether it is man made or natural,
some of its examples can be seen below.

1. Supporting Ukraine
2. Hurricane Ida
3. Kentucky Storms
4. Texas Winter Storm
Thank You.
