Nio (NIO) and WWF Enter Clean Parks Strategic Cooperation
Electric vehicle startup Nio (NYSE:NIO) has entered into a Clean Parks strategic cooperation with World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), becoming the co-sponsor initiating Clean Parks. NIO announced Clean Parks, an ecological co-construction initiative, in December 2021.
Clean Parks is a global ecological co-construction plan initiated by NIO to implement the Blue Sky Coming vision. It is the world’s first open platform started by an automobile company to support the construction of national parks and nature reserves.
According to the agreement, WWF will join hands with NIO in establishing a clean and low-carbon energy circulation system in national parks and nature reserves, driving clean mobility and sustainable development, launching demonstrative projects, and protecting authenticity and integrity of ecosystems.
“Since China started the pilot project on national parks in 2015, WWF has been actively participating in establishing the nature reserve system with national parks as the main body and facilitating the high-quality development of national parks,” said Lunyan Lu, Chief Representative of WWF China. “Clean Parks starts with co-construction, with which NIO and WWF will leverage our respective resources and technological advantages to provide solutions to and share practices on the protection of national parks, nature reserves and their surrounding communities.”
“It’s a great honor to have WWF co-initiate Clean Parks with NIO, to jointly build a clean and low-carbon energy circulation system in nature reserves in China and even around the world, and to move towards a greener and more sustainable future. We also look forward to jointly popularizing clean mobility and biodiversity conservation to further raise the public’s awareness of environmental protection, contributing to building a community of all life on Earth, and shaping a clean and beautiful world with blue skies,” said William Li, founder, chairman and CEO of NIO.
