The Chinese automaker said its MSCI AAA rating, 2030 carbon-peak goal and supplier carbon-data program support overseas expansion and a wider push to align with global compliance standards.
SERES used an Aug. 5 interview at its Super Factory in Chongqing to present ESG (environmental, social and governance) as a core part of its global strategy as the company marks its 40th anniversary. Clifford Kang, Director, Board of Directors & Vice President, SERES Group, said the automaker, which started as a spring manufacturer in 1986 and now serves more than one million users, is targeting a carbon peak by 2030, carbon neutrality (net-zero operating emissions) in production and operations by 2045, and near-zero emissions across its value chain. He linked the company's MSCI AAA ESG rating to clear goals, governance and execution, and pointed to 2025 operating data from AITO, solar generation at the SERES Super Factory, a 91-supplier factory-within-a-factory model, and compliance steps including GDPR (EU data protection rules) alignment as evidence of progress. SERES also said AITO became the top-selling Chinese luxury car brand in China in 2025 and surpassed one million cumulative deliveries in 46 months.
