BYD's battery arm FinDreams vows to achieve carbon neutrality by 2045

Chinese automaker BYD's battery manufacturing division FinDreams Battery has recently announced its commitment to achieve carbon neutrality in all its operations and supply chains by the year 2045. The company has also revealed a series of measures it intends to take in the coming years to achieve the goal. 

In an official statement, as reported by CnEVPost, the company said, "Recently, FinDreams unveiled its goal of achieving full value chain carbon neutrality by 2045, which is an important step in our environmental and sustainability efforts and a strong belief in the future application of green energy technologies".
