General Motors of Canada Company Ontario Regulation 455/09 Public General Motors of Canada Company Ontario Regulation 455/09 Public Summary December 2018 for the 2017 Reporting Year General Motors’ sustainability strategy is synonymous with its business strategy. Our vision for personal mobility is a world with zero crashes, zero emissions and zero congestion. By delivering safer, simpler and sustainable transportation solutions for our customers, we’ll realize that vision. In the process, GM will become the most valued automotive company. Our strategy reflects the transportation revolution underway today, and that is transforming how people move—an effect similar to the debut of the automobile more than a century ago. The vehicles leading this transformation are autonomous, electric, connected and shared. Throughout the company, we are focused on initiatives that capitalize on these new technologies and business models to create products, offer services and advocate for policy that looks at transportation as a system and mobility as a service. This will result in a world where sustainable transportation is a reality for daily life and enables communities to grow more prosperous and livable. General Motors Canada demonstrated its sustainability leadership in 2017 by selling over one third of all new electric plug-in vehicles in Canada, and with its landfill free manufacturing and innovative GHG-reducing projects, including the landfill gas cogeneration project at the St. Catharines Propulsion Plant. GM Canada also announced a three-year $1.8 million commitment to help inspire girls and young women in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). “With the release of GM’s 2017 Global Sustainability Report, we take pride in our Canadian market leadership in electric vehicle sales with the Chevrolet Volt and Bolt EV, as well as our landfill free manufacturing and St. Catharines landfill gas cogeneration project that will cut GHGs by 77%,” said David Paterson, Vice President Corporate & Environmental Affairs for GM Canada. “We also look forward to partnering across Canada to promote STEM education, especially among girls and young Canadian women.” Canadian Sustainability Highlights • Delivering an electrified future – GM Canada is the #1 retailer of electric vehicles in Canada with more than 6,400 units sold last year. The Chevrolet Bolt EV and Chevrolet Volt combined sold one-third of all EVs in Canada last year. Since its launch, the Bolt EV has received several awards, including being named the 2018 Canadian Green Car of the Year at the Green Living Show. • Driving toward a zero-waste future – In 2017, GM Canada achieved 100 per cent land-fill free operations at all of our manufacturing facilities. Oshawa Assembly and the Canadian Technical Centre (CTC) Oshawa Campus are the latest Canadian operations to join GM’s growing list of landfill-free facilities. • Innovative energy solutions – In December 2017, GM Canada announced the construction of a 6.4-megawatt cogeneration plant at the St. Catharines Propulsion Plant that will reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by more than 77 per cent. • Supporting the next generation of automotive innovators – General Motors Canada is helping inspire the next generation of technological innovators through its support of innovative programs that encourage children – particularly young girls – to explore the STEM fields. Through GM Canada’s Corporate Social Responsibility Program, more than 16,000 students were engaged country wide, in a variety of STEM programming. More than 50 per cent of those students were girls. • Greening our facilities – Nine of our eleven Canadian sites are now certified by the Wildlife Habitat Council (WHC) of Canada, and GM Canada now has 213 acres of actively managed wildlife habitat space across the country. In addition to the planned cogeneration project, the St. Catharines Plant is saving $2.1 million in other energy conservation initiatives, such as LED lighting replacements, which conserves enough energy to power 2,000 homes for a year. Use of solar thermal panels at our sites, including at both our Canadian Technical Centre Markham Campus and CAMI Assembly in Ingersoll, Ontario, are also saving money and reducing GHG emissions, by offsetting use of gas-generated electricity with renewable solar energy. • In 2017 GM Canada has received the following awards: • Top 100 Greenest Employers in Canada • The UN Global Compact Network Canada’s Sustainability Development Goals Award, for GM Canada’s commitment in supporting Climate Action, Quality Education, Industry Innovation and Infrastructure, Sustainable Cities and Communities, and Partnerships. • The Clean50 Award for the Greenhouse Gas emissions diverted by the Oshawa Assembly Plant becoming Landfill Free • The Canadian Plastic’s Industry Association Sustainability Award for the partnerships developed and The Do Your Part Project – facilitating plastics recyclers and manufactures to collaborate turning plastic waste to automotive parts and jackets for those in need. • The IESO’s (Independent Electricity Systems Operator) Best Energy Savings Campaign for the Oshawa Assembly Plant 2017 Highlights 2020 Commitments Energy Highlights GM Canada’s Environmental Policy As a responsible corporate citizen, General Motors of Canada Company is dedicated to protecting human health, natural resources and the local and global environment, in accordance with the Environmental Principles of General Motors. This dedication reaches further than compliance with the law to encompass the integration of sound environmental practices into our business decisions. This policy is based on the integration of sound environmental practices into our business decisions. This policy is based on the integration of risk-based, cost effective management practices into site activities with the aim of continually improving environmental performance and conditions, and promoting sustainable development. GM Canada is committed to assess the environmental impacts of its activities, products or services as basis for its environmental management programs and to reduce wherever practicable these impacts through the establishment of appropriate objectives and targets. In particular, GM Canada will strive to achieve the following objectives through continued execution of our Environmental Management System: 1. Comply with all applicable environmental laws and regulations, and other requirements. 2. Assign management responsibility for the environment in all areas of our facilities and ensure that all employees are aware of their individual responsibilities for acting in accordance with this policy, while providing effective information and training to encourage individuals to contribute effectively. 3. Practice and promote effective prevention of pollution in accordance with a hierarchy giving top priority to waste prevention at the source, elimination or reduction of wasteful practices, and recycling. 4. Maintain communications with our local community, legislators, regulators and other organizations with an interest in our environmental performance. In accordance with our Environment Management System requirements, GM Canada will regularly review environmental performance and our facilities’ objectives and targets to assess progress toward continual improvement. This policy statement will be periodically reviewed to ensure its continuing suitability, be available to the public and communicated to all persons working for, or on behalf of, GM Canada. Background - O. Reg. 455/09 The National Pollutant Release Inventory (NPRI) is Canada’s publicly accessible inventory of releases (to air, water and land), disposals and transfer for recycling that are associated with industrial activity. Over 84,000 facilities report to the NPRI on more than 300 listed substances. GM has been reporting in accordance with federal NPRI regulations since its inception in 1992. Ontario Regulation 455/09 (O.Reg. 455/09) applies specifically to facilities and products made in Ontario that exceed NPRI reporting thresholds. The first reporting obligation under this regulation was on June 1, 2011. Phase 1 substances (a limited subset of the NPRI chemical list) required Plans by December 31, 2012 for the 2011 reporting year. Phase 2 (the balance of substances on the NPRI chemical list) required Plans by December 31, 2013 for the 2012 reporting year. Due to normal process variation, improvements or efficiencies or, changes to the NPRI chemical list and thresholds, GM may add or delete substances from its O.Reg. 455/09 reporting and plans each year to meet the ongoing reporting requirements. Vehicles are made by all manufacturers in a similar manner globally. All vehicles sold in Canada must meet the same safety standards and consumer performance expectations for the Canadian market as well as export markets where they may be sold. To meet these expectations, many of the substances listed in O.Reg. 455/09 as “substances of concern” are utilized in the manufacture of all vehicles, including those assembled elsewhere and imported to Ontario for sale. Only the vehicles assembled in Ontario, however, are required to report these substances. For example, the greater part of O.Reg. 455/09 reported metal is collected as metal chips and scrap and recycled into new metal or is contained as part of the finished vehicle. Metals and alloys such as copper, manganese, and nickel are commonly used in automotive components (such as Powertrain components) for their ability to strengthen, improve conductivity, and resist corrosion. Zinc is similarly

  • General Motors of Canada Limited (GMCL) Employs Over 10,000 People Across the Country and Is a Recognized Leader in Green Manufacturing
    GM Communications General Motors Oshawa, Ontario of Canada Limited media.gm.ca GM Introduces Two Industry-First Safety Features Front centre air bag and camera-based collision alert system are designed to help protect occupants and avoid crashes Oshawa, ON (Friday, September 30, 2011) – General Motors will introduce the industry’s first front centre air bag and a camera-based collision alert system. The front centre air bag is an inflatable restraint designed to help protect drivers and front passengers in far-side impact crashes where the affected occupant is on the opposite, non-struck side of the vehicle. The front centre air bag will be available on the Buick Enclave, GMC Acadia, and Chevrolet Traverse midsize crossovers in the 2013 model year. The collision alert system uses a single camera to help drivers avoid front-end and unsignalled lane departure crashes and will be a feature offered on the 2012 GMC Terrain. About the Front Centre Air Bag: The front centre air bag deploys from the right side of the driver’s seat and positions itself between the front row seats near the center of the vehicle. This tethered, tubular air bag is designed to provide restraint during passenger-side crashes when the driver is the only front occupant, and also acts as an energy absorbing cushion between driver and front passenger in both driver- and passenger-side crashes. The air bag also is expected to provide benefit in rollovers. GM analysis of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s Fatality Analysis Reporting System database, found that fatalities resulting from far-side impact crashes, where the occupant is on the non-struck side of the vehicle, represent 29% of all the belted front occupant fatalities in side impacts.

  • Combination of Brexit and Ceta - Moving Vehicle Platforms from 1
    COMBINATION OF BREXIT AND CETA - MOVING VEHICLE PLATFORMS FROM 1 UK TO CANADA Combination of Brexit and CETA - Study on the Possibility of Motor Corporations Moving Vehicle Platforms from UK to Canada Junxi YU Engineering and Public Policy, McMaster University COMBINATION OF BREXIT AND CETA - MOVING VEHICLE PLATFORMS FROM 2 UK TO CANADA Abstract With the help from Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) signed in 2016, enormous opportunities and benefits have been created for the automotive industry in Canada. Specifically, European Union(EU) tariffs immediately eliminated on all Canadian auto parts that exported to EU. In the European market, UK has been a competitor to Canada in the automotive industry. After Brexit, without the benefits of free trade within EU, vehicles manufactured in the UK will start to lose their appeal in price gradually. In the thesis, a comparison on the current situation of five motor corporations in Canada and the corresponding motor corporations in the UK was made. It was found that only Honda Canada and Honda UK have an identical vehicle platform referred as Honda Civic platform, which produces same vehicle models, namely Honda Civic Type R and Honda CRV. On the contrast, the other four auto corporations don’t possess a same vehicle platform, producing same vehicle models in Canada and UK. A thorough analysis on Honda Motor Company was conducted. The total costs including vehicle price, shipping costs, tariff and currency exchange rate for EU consumers to purchase a car from the same platform in Canada and UK was calculated separately. By comparing the total costs of the two purchasing routes, the conclusion and recommendations was provided.

  • GM Reveals New Ultium Batteries and a Flexible Global Platform to Rapidly Grow Its EV Portfolio
    News For Release: Wednesday, March 4, 2020, 12:30 p.m. EST GM Reveals New Ultium Batteries and a Flexible Global Platform to Rapidly Grow its EV Portfolio OSHAWA – Starting today, General Motors is gathering hundreds of employees, dealers, investors, analysts, media and policymakers to share details of its strategy to grow the company’s electric vehicle (EV) sales quickly, efficiently and profitably. “Our team accepted the challenge to transform product development at GM and position our company for an all-electric future,” said Mary Barra, GM chairman and CEO. “What we have done is build a multi-brand, multi-segment EV strategy with economies of scale that rival our full-size truck business with much less complexity and even more flexibility.” The heart of GM’s strategy is a modular propulsion system and a highly flexible, third- generation global EV platform powered by proprietary Ultium batteries. They will allow the company to compete for nearly every customer in the market today, whether they are looking for affordable transportation, a luxury experience, work trucks or a high-performance machine. “Thousands of GM scientists, engineers and designers are working to execute an historic reinvention of the company,” said GM President Mark Reuss. “They are on the cusp of delivering a profitable EV business that can satisfy millions of customers.” Ultium Batteries and Propulsion System Highlights • GM’s new Ultium batteries are unique in the industry because the large-format, pouch-style cells can be stacked vertically or horizontally inside the battery pack. This allows engineers to optimize battery energy storage and layout for each vehicle design.

  • GM Canada Builds on Light Duty Pick-Up and Electric Vehicle Sales Growth in Q2
    News GM Canada builds on light duty pick-up and electric vehicle sales growth in Q2 OSHAWA, Ont. (July 3, 2019) — Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac dealers delivered 77,643 vehicles in the second quarter of 2019, including 53,911 retail sales and 23,732 fleet sales. Scott Bell, vice president, sales, service and marketing for GM Canada said, “While Q2 sales were in line with the industry, we continued to see growth across our light duty pick-ups, crossovers, SUVs and electric vehicles. Customers are responding to the design, technology and functionality across GM’s line-up of award-winning vehicles.” Light duty pick-ups increased total sales by +4.3 per cent year-over-year in Q2, driven by the all- new LD Chevrolet Silverado (+17.9 per cent) and GMC Sierra (+31.5 per cent) crew cabs. “We expect momentum will continue into the third quarter as Chevrolet and GMC’s all-new heavy-duty pick-ups hit Canadian dealerships in July,” said Bell. Full-size utilities also increased for Chevrolet and GMC with Q2 total sales +2.4 per cent year-over- year. GM’s fully electric vehicle, the Chevrolet Bolt EV, had its best Q2 ever with total sales +57.7 per cent. Consumer adoption of electric vehicles, particularly in British Columbia and Québec, is steadily gaining traction as federal incentives make it easier to purchase EVs. BRAND SALES HIGHLIGHTS FROM QUARTER 2 (Change in total sales, year-over-year) Chevrolet: • Bolt EV +57.7 per cent – best Q2 ever • Spark +8.7 per cent – best Q2 ever • Corvette +6.1 per cent • LD Silverado +5.1 per cent (driven

  • 2. GMH, 4 Buildings, Port Melbourne
    For Discussion Purposes Memorandum of Heritage Advice GMH, Plants 3, 4 and 5 and the Holden Social Centre, Salmon Street, Port Melbourne Initial consultant heritage advice regarding the potential for a Heritage Overlay for the site and associated considerations. Introduction We have been asked to comment on the heritage values of part of the General Motors Holden (GMH) complex at Salmon Street, Fishermans Bend, comprising Plants 3, 4 & 5 and the associated Social Centre building. These structures were assessed by Biosis as part of the Southbank and Fishermans Bend Heritage Review (2016-17). Biosis identified the buildings as places of local and state significance with the recommendation that they be listed on the Heritage Overlay, and also nominated for inclusion on the Victorian Heritage Register. It was further recommended that conservation management plans be prepared for all GMH sites prior to any future redevelopment. A Heritage Overlay is not formally proposed for the subject site at the time of writing (i.e. a planning scheme amendment process has not commenced). The City of Melbourne has resolved to engage with land owners, the State government and relevant agencies in order to investigate what is significant and worthy of heritage protection or adaptive reuse. We have been instructed to comment on the likelihood of the GMH buildings being included in the Heritage Overlay, and the redevelopment potential of the buildings if this planning control was implemented. The analysis below draws on a review of the two key documents that have been provided in our brief, including the Biosis citations and a further report on the former GMH complex prepared by Lovell Chen (November 2017).
