Recently, IAT achieved an important milestone in sustainable development. According to the latest ESG rating results released by Sino-Securities Index, IAT’s ESG rating has been upgraded from CC to A, representing a significant improvement.
Previously, on April 29, the company officially released its first 2025 Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report, systematically presenting its achievements and practices in green and low-carbon development, social responsibility, and corporate governance. The upgrade in ESG rating fully demonstrates that IAT’s comprehensive performance in environmental, social, and governance areas has gained broad recognition from the market and investors.
Against the backdrop of global efforts to address climate change and countries around the world setting carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals, ESG performance has evolved from a “value-added advantage” into a “mandatory requirement” for evaluating long-term corporate competitiveness. As an authoritative ESG assessment tool that integrates international standards with China’s local practices, the Sino-Securities Index ESG rating system provides dynamic evaluations that directly influence corporate financing costs, brand value, and market positioning.
IAT’s upgrade from CC to A not only reflects substantial breakthroughs in its corporate governance system and green transformation, but also sends a clear message: a development path centered on innovation, sustainability, and responsibility is being transformed into tangible market credibility and industry influence.
As a leading independent automotive design and vehicle development service provider in China, IAT has consistently integrated ESG principles into its strategic decision-making and daily operations. Driven by the dual-engine strategy of “complete vehicle R&D + lean intelligent manufacturing,” the company continues to increase investment in R&D and takes the lead in applying artificial intelligence technologies to automotive development processes, significantly improving R&D efficiency and reducing resource consumption.
This model, which leverages technological innovation to drive green transformation, aligns with China’s strategic direction of developing new quality productive forces and promoting high-quality development, while providing a replicable example for the low-carbon transformation of the automotive supply chain.
The significance of this ESG rating upgrade lies, more importantly, in the strengthened external recognition it represents. For industry partners, IAT has become a trusted partner committed to sustainable development; for consumers and the public, IAT demonstrates the image of a responsible corporate citizen. The rating result essentially represents a “vote of trust” from the market in response to the company’s philosophy and actions.
Looking ahead, IAT will take its A-level ESG rating as a new benchmark and further integrate ESG objectives into its strategic planning, performance evaluation, and information disclosure systems. The company will continue to advance green technology development, low-carbon operations, and responsible ecosystem building. IAT is committed to working together with partners across the industry chain to uphold its sustainability commitments with greater determination and jointly move toward a greener, smarter, and more sustainable future of mobility.
