Hyundai is investing billions into polluting, gas-guzzling vehicles and
dirty steel plants, all while pouring millions into marketing its “green”
image. The car giant risks locking in decades more climate pollution and
community harm. 

Tell the automaker to clean up its supply chain and transition to 100%
electric vehicles now.

John,

Hyundai, the world’s third largest automaker, is desperately trying to
promote itself as a green leader. But behind its glossy PR campaigns is a
dirty, coal-fueled supply chain and a production line of polluting cars.

The automaker claims to be a leader on electric vehicles but more than 93%
of its sales are gas guzzlers or polluting fuel engines.

And it's pushing these cars particularly hard into Global South markets
like India, a country already feeling the deadly impacts of the climate
crisis. Just last year more than 700 people died because of extreme
heatwaves.

But if we can expose Hyundai’s greenwashing and create a huge global
outcry the automaker will have no choice but to stop fueling the climate
crisis and go green.

crisis, clean up your supply chain and transition to 100% electric
vehicles.

Hyundai is in the slow lane when it comes to supply chain sustainability,
especially steel. Instead of using sustainable steel in its vehicles, the
automaker continues to use dirty steel. The communities living next to
Hyundai’s dirty steel factories are breathing in deadly air pollution
which is causing hundreds of premature deaths and billions in healthcare
costs.

The car giant is also lying about how much it’s actually polluting. Last
year Hyundai was exposed for underreporting the emissions per vehicle by a
whopping 113%.

It's time for Hyundai to u-turn now and actually drive change across
industrial supply chains like steel, before it's too late for our planet.

electric vehicles.

We’ve put pressure on automakers before and won. Last year people from all
around the world demanded Toyota Australia stop its dirty lobbying for
fossil fuels and together with allies we forced the car company out of the
way so the government could regulate vehicle pollution. It was a win for
the planet, our health and will help make EVs more affordable.

Let’s do it again.
