At Vauxhall, we know our duty as a car manufacturer is to minimise the impact our vehicles have on the environment. That’s why, from design to production, and from selling to vehicle end-of-life processes, environmental management is at the heart of everything we do.
We’re leading the way with innovative, greener vehicles such as our electric and plug-in hybrid models. We use recycled materials and aim to decrease the amount of waste produced during manufacture and at the end of a vehicle’s life. And, at Vauxhall factories and HQ, we work hard to recycle and reduce our landfill output.
Our commitment to the environment is expressed in six key principles.
