Carbon Road Plan

In 2022, China Daily launched the Carbon Road Action Plan, which cooperates with the Administrative Committee of the Grape Industry Zone of the Helan Mountain Eastern Foothills to encourage companies and individuals to adopt vineyards, which will be managed by local planting experts.

SAIC GM Chevrolet took the lead and adopted a 6.7-hectare grapevine of the He Lan Hong Winery in October.

The vineyard is expected to help to absorb 60 tons of carbon dioxide annually through the process of photosynthesis, setting an example for other companies to follow in their low-carbon transformation efforts.

Zhou Peng, director of the business division at SAIC GM Chevrolet, said: "Chevrolet places great emphasis on environmental protection and fully supports China's aim of reaching its peak carbon emissions by 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2060.

"We are constantly exploring and promoting sustainable development and eagerly anticipate the participation of more companies and individuals in environmental protection to make their contribution to this cause," Zhou said.
