BYD

BYD is included because its 2025 Annual Report is publicly disclosed through an auditable exchange-hosted PDF, which provides a defensible evidence surface for a batteries-category first wave even when dedicated sustainability reporting is harder to isolate.

Score breakdown

Resource efficiency

85

Based on publicly disclosed data, the main constraint is that annual reporting is less sustainability-structured than dedicated ESG reports, but still offers a traceable baseline for materials and manufacturing narratives.

Impact on environment

90

Batteries and electrification sit at the center of decarbonization, but evaluation must stay anchored to what the annual report actually discloses rather than what is implied by product positioning.

Social responsibility

82

Supply-chain labor and upstream materials risk remain the hardest to fully audit. Exchange-hosted annual reporting offers a starting point, but not the same depth as report-first ESG packages.

Economic benefits

94

The economic case for batteries is strong, but sustainability scoring should reward disclosure quality; BYD’s placement reflects evidence accessibility rather than brand scale alone.

Certifications and signals

Ranked #4 in our Top Sustainable Battery Companies In 2026 list.
