Demonstrates Lucid's Commitment to Inspire the Adoption of
Sustainable Transportation
NEWARK,
Calif., April 19, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Lucid
Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: LCID), setting new standards for luxury
electric experience with the Lucid Air, winner of the 2023 World
Luxury Car Award, today announced that it has joined the
United Nations (UN) Global Compact, the world's largest voluntary
corporate sustainability initiative. With more than 21,800
companies in over 162 countries participating, the UN Global
Compact seeks to mobilize a global movement of sustainable
companies and stakeholders.
"Joining the UN Global Compact is a milestone in our
sustainability journey and a symbol of our dedication to
decarbonizing transportation worldwide," said Peter Rawlinson, Lucid's CEO and CTO. "As an
electric vehicle company relentlessly focused on engineering and
performance, our in-house technology enables Lucid Air to generate
more range with less energy than any other electric vehicle."
"With each extra mile that we extract per kilowatt-hour of
energy, less energy is needed from the electrical grid to get you
safely to your destination, and fewer carbon emissions are
produced. This same technology and innovative approach can
similarly enable smaller, lower-cost battery packs that retain
competitive range — which in turn will benefit the environment by
requiring fewer battery cells per vehicle," Rawlinson added.
The UN Global Compact challenges companies to conduct business
responsibly by aligning their operations and strategies with the
UN's Ten Principles which pertain to human rights, labor,
environmental practices, and anti-corruption. It also commits
companies to take actions in accordance with the UN Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs). These goals provide a powerful aspiration
for businesses, governments, civil society, and citizens to make a
better world.
By joining UN Global Compact, organizations commit not only to
sustainable practices but also to enhancing transparency.
Participation in the UN Global Compact requires signatories to
report yearly on their commitment to the universal sustainability
principles and development goals. To learn more about the UN Global
Compact, visit https://www.unglobalcompact.org.
