The automotive industry in particular has increased its focus on green initiatives. Stringent regulations and standards requiring substantial improvements to automotive manufacturing practices and direct environmental impact have been implemented in various regions. Examples range from the European Commission’s EU 2019/631 regulation targeting vehicle CO₂ emissions to numerous ISO standards addressing everything from health and safety practices to materials quality. Automotive manufacturers worldwide rely on NQC to vet suppliers’ adherence to both statutory regulations and the manufacturer’s own standards.

“Sustainability—realizing the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals—is core to our business. We understand its importance to our customers, to our employees, and to our communities as a whole,” said Joshua Abramson, GlobalLogic’s Head of Sustainability/Environmental Social and Governance (ESG). “We continue to improve on our sustainability efforts as evidenced by our latest NQC assessment which marks a nine percent increase from our prior score. Our customers can trust our sustainability measures and that we’re their reliable partner in positively impacting the world around us.”

GlobalLogic’s assessment revealed that it has category-leading metrics in Company Management, Business Ethics, and Working Conditions and Human Rights initiatives. Further, GlobalLogic ranked above average in the remaining themes of Health and Safety, Environment, and Supplier Management.
