The latest data from the Corporate Knights Sustainable Economy Intelligence (CKSEI) Database shows that companies in Japan, China, and South Korea are the global leaders for private investment in the electric vehicle (EV) supply chain. The United States comes in fourth, followed by France, Belgium, Germany, and Austria.
EV supply chain investments include investments in the provision of specialty components (e.g., batteries for electric vehicles) and regular materials or components for the manufacture of sustainable vehicles. For example, investments in manufacturing glass or fabric or other inputs for sustainable vehicles.
The Corporate Knights Sustainable Economy Intelligence (CKSEI) Database follows the money to identify companies leading the transition to a low-carbon economy. It maps revenue and investments against the Corporate Knights Sustainable Economy Taxonomy (CKSET). The Corporate Knights Sustainable Economy Taxonomy is a leading-edge taxonomy for measuring corporate contributions to the sustainability transition. Developed by Corporate Knights, CKSET provides a global standard to aid in the transition to a sustainable, low-carbon economy. It identifies and quantifies revenue and investments (Capex, R&D and acquisitions) aligned with sustainable practices, all while supporting the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
