Paris Agreement untill Today
PSA
In 2016 PSA created a roadmap called the Push to Pass plan.[18] Through this plan the company outlined their vision for 2030: to be the most efficient car manufacturer and the preferred global supplier of mobility services.[19] This plan illustrates the company's decision to update various parts of the company such as the innovation processes, the production processes and its stakeholder communication.[20] This plan has helped PSA in shifting their customer's expectations. Furthermore, PSA states that this made them sustainable competitive.[21]
FCA
FCA used the SDGs to create targets for 2020 that covered priority areas for the company.[22] The majority of these targets were met in 2020. For example, one of FCA's commitments was to minimize environmental impacts from their products by reducing CO2 emissions and improving fuel economy. [23] Within this commitment FCA selected 5 different targets for 2020, all these targets were met. One of the targets was to achieve 40% reduction in CO2 emissions vs 2006 for mass-market cars sold in Europe, according to EU regulation requirements. [24] This target was met as the company reduced the CO2 emissions by 41%. their second target was to achieve at least 5% to 15% improvement in fuel economy for major renewals of FCA US vehicles compared with replaced vehicles. This target was met as powertrain and technology upgrades for existing products contributed to fuel economy improvements up to 15%. Their third target was to develop electric/hybrid technologies that are beneficial to society. This target was met as FCA released 7 new electrified models. Their 4th target was to maintain a wide offering of CNG models in Europe and promote technological innovation. This target was met as FCA was confined among leaders for natural gas vehicles in Europe with more than 780.000 natural gas vehicals sold since 1997. Lastly, FCA had a target to reduce CO2 emissions by 30% vs 2008 on the entire Maserati product range. This target was met as FCA reduced emissions by 30% vs the 2008 on the entire Maserati product range in the main three regulated markets (U.S., China, EU)

Scandals and controversies
In 2021 FCA was fined $30 million after the company pled guilty to federal criminal charges related to corruption.[35] As part of the punishment an independent monitor, Frances McLeod, will keep tabs on FCA for the next year, therefore also affecting Stellantis. FCA corrupted United Auto Workers (UAW) leaders by giving millions of dollars in gifts and cash. One of the attorneys on the case stated that "the sentencing of FCA marks a significant milestone in this historic case". [36]
An article posted by Transport & Environment showed that Stellantis ranks worst with low short-term battery electric vehicle sales. The article states that Stellantis together with other companies such as BMW, do not have ambitious phase-out targets and no clear industrial strategy.[37]
Current Emissions
Climate Policy and Plans
Given its main sources of greenhouse gas emissions, Stellantis' climate plans are focused on three issues[38]:
1. Cutting CO2 vehicle emissions 2. Moving Forward into a carbon-efficient production system 3. Improving the environmental performance of the supply chain
For each of these issues, Stellantis has created a short-term, medium-term, and long-term commitment.
CRS Issue | Strategic KPIs | Short-Term | Medium-Term | Long-Term |

CRS Issue #1 | Percentage of nameplates with LEV offering (focus on U.S. and EU) | 2025: EU(98%), U.S.(95%) | 2030: EU(100%), U.S. (100%) | 2038: EU(100%), U.S. (100%) |
CRS Issue #1 | Share of LEV in global sales mix (focus on U.S. and EU) | 2025: EU 44% LEV inc. 34% BEV, U.S. 37% LEV incl. 14% BEV | 2030: EU 100% BEV, U.S 50% BEV | 2038: EU 100% BEV, U.S. 100% BEV |
Due Dilligence
Conclusion
PSA and FCA have both acknowledged their roles in the climate crisis and have set goals for 2020 and the future. So far the main targets set by PSA for the future are a reduction in scope 3 emissions of 37% per vehicle kilometer and that by 2050 all PSA plants will be carbon neutral. FCA has not released its goals for the future as they are waiting for the 2022 Stellantis report. For the plans available from PSA and FCA , it can be said that too little is being done to meet the requirements set by the Paris Agreement. The reporting of emissions from both PSA and FCA is currently insufficient as it lacks large portions of scope 3 emissions and does not accurately represent the companies. It is clear that the emission and targets set by PSA and FCA will be not be enough to reduce their CO2 emissions and keep them within the 1,5 degrees. Stellantis has released its plans at the beginning of March, in which it is stated that the company aims to reduce CO2 emissions by 50% in 2030 and aims to be carbon net-zero by 2038. The only step mentioned by Stellantis to reach these goals is to increase the sale of battery electric vehicles but as this is only stated to be to 50% in the U.S. this on its own is not enough to create such a large reduction in CO2 emissions. Stellantis will have to broader their policies and plans in their Climate report that will come out in the spring of 2022.
