Earth Day 2026: 12 Facts That Show Our Progress
Every year on Earth Day, we take a moment to reflect on our shared responsibility — and our shared progress — in creating a more sustainable future. At Adient, sustainability is not a one day event. It’s something our teams around the world bring to life every day through innovation, continuous improvement, and care for our people and our planet.
This Earth Day, we are celebrating what Adient employees have already achieved together:
Greenhouse gas emissions
- 42% reduction in Scope 1 & 2* greenhouse gas emissions since 2019
- Equivalent to removing ~15,800 passenger vehicles from the road for an entire year
Water conservation
- 67,559 cubic meters of water conserved through FY25 improvement projects
- Enough to fill 27 Olympic-sized swimming pools
Waste reduction
- 4,671 metric tons of waste diverted from landfills via 609 waste-saving projects in FY25
- Equivalent to the weight of ~467 African elephants
Energy efficiency
- 72.6M kWh of energy conserved annually through 575 energy-saving projects in FY25
- Enough electricity to power ~6,700 average American homes for a year
Fuel conservation
- 13.4M kWh-equivalent of fuel saved annually through 99 fuel-reduction projects in FY25
- Equivalent to taking ~900 gasoline-powered cars off the road for a year
Renewable energy
- 30% of Adient’s total electricity came from renewable sources across 68 of Adient’s 200+ global manufacturing sites in FY25
- Enough clean energy to power a city of ~50,000 homes
Total energy reduction
- 23 million kWh reduction in total energy consumption year-over-year in FY25
- Equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of ~2,100 U.S. households
Scope 3 emissions
- 3% year-over-year reduction in Scope 3** emissions in FY25, preventing ~147,000 metric tons of CO₂e
- Equivalent to the carbon sequestered by 172,000 acres of U.S. forests in one year
Water savings
- 6% reduction in total water withdrawals year-over-year in FY25
- Savings equivalent to filling ~59 Olympic-sized swimming pools
Waste recovery
- 82% waste recovery rate in FY25, recycling or reusing 120,000+ metric tons of waste
- Equal to the weight of ~850 fully-loaded Boeing 737 aircraft
Carbon footprint innovation
- 6,000+ product carbon footprints analyzed with Adient’s proprietary Product Carbon Footprint Tool in FY25
- Each analysis contributes to lighter, more sustainable vehicle seats
Continuous improvement
- 1,990 continuous improvement projects completed by Adient employees in FY25
- An average of 5+ sustainability projects completed every single day
* Scope 1 covers direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, while Scope 2 covers indirect emissions from purchased energy
** Scope 3 covers all other indirect emissions across an organization’s value chain, both upstream and downstream, beyond its direct operations and purchased energy
Happy Earth Day.
