Vehicles can negatively impact our planet, but Kia is doing what it can to help. In fact, many new Kia models utilize efficient electric powertrains, boast better manufacturing practices, and feature sustainable materials. At Casey Kia, we’re diving into all the details.

World’s Most Sustainable Companies

Kia has been named one of the “World’s Most Sustainable Companies of 2024” by Time Magazine. Over 5,000 of the world’s largest and most influential companies were considered. These companies were evaluated based on a variety of factors:

  • External sustainability ratings
  • Adherence to the UN Global Compact
  • Alignment with the Science Based Targets initiative
  • Participation in the UNFCCC Race to Zero
  • Various environmental and social Key Performance Indicators

Efficient EV Lineup

Kia has focused heavily on electrification as part of its “Plan S” strategy. This strategy includes a plan for a global lineup of at least 15 EVs by 2027, including the newest electric release, the Kia EV3. The Kia EV3 is an addition to an already notable lineup of electric SUVs, including the Kia Niro EV, the Kia EV6, and the Kia EV9.

Sustainability Efforts

Kia is also involved in several sustainability efforts that are moving us towards a better future. One such effort is a partnership with the Ocean Cleanup, which is working to rid our oceans of plastic. This is one of the many efforts to help shift everyone’s mindsets and work towards the goal of carbon neutrality by 2045.
