Our vision is a world where 100 percent of vehicle batteries are responsibly recycled.

Clarios has established one of the world's most successful examples of a circular economy. We design, manufacture, transport, recycle, and recover vehicle batteries using a closed looped system. Our goal is to ensure all vehicle batteries are responsibly designed and can be economically and responsibly recovered and repurposed.

Advocacy

We will leave the world better than we found it

Our expertise shapes the future of efficient, safe and secure low-voltage power for tomorrow’s vehicle platforms and autonomous vehicles. Today our advanced battery technology has the ability to cover 95% of OEM vehicle platforms supporting a 5%+ increase in fuel economy. We are committed to developing sustainable energy storage solutions that are powered by research and insights to meet the demands of our customers, communities, investors and employees.

We hold ourselves to the highest performance expectations – our own

Our drive for environmental performance and efficiency enables us to produce more batteries in the same plant footprint. Since 1990, our global lead air emissions have dropped by 95% with 6x more batteries made. We are raising our standards to cultivate a safe, sustainable workplace. We are going further – with renewed commitment to actively preventing occupational injuries, protecting the environment, conserving energy, water, and raw materials, using renewable energy, preventing pollution, and recycling and reusing battery components.

We advance closed-loop systems to make smart, efficient use of resources

Our leading closed-loop system is a distinct advantage and model for new opportunities. Our closed-loop system encompasses battery design, manufacture, transport, recovery and recycling—making automotive batteries the most recycled consumer product in the world. This means we have a local, predictable, and resilient supply chain – especially in North America – with the ability to optimize reverse logistics and drive further efficiencies. We are actively collaborating with partners and policy makers to share our experience and accelerate global adoption of circular economy principles. Read more about our industry expertise

We publicly report our performance and progress toward our goals

We are committed to setting the standard in Environmental Health & Safety (EH&S), Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) and Risk Management and holding ourselves accountable. We do that by leading, exceeding the requirements, and letting our performance do the talking.

We lead in efforts to create global standards for equal protection

We are working with communities, customers, and governments around the world to raise standards and promote best practices that make the world a safer, cleaner place. Clarios advocates for regulatory standards and industry best practices that provide equal protection for everyone on the planet. We serve as a resource for governments and trade organizations to understand and responsibly mitigate risks within the battery lifecycle.
