NIO and WWF Deepen Strategic Partnership to Further Advance Clean Parks

On April 22, 2025, the 56th Earth Day, NIO and World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) renewed their strategic partnership for another three years. Together, they will continue advancing the Clean Parks initiative by applying clean energy solutions across protected areas and national parks.

William Li, Founder, Chairman and CEO of NIO, said, “With the mission of ‘shaping a sustainable and brighter future together,’ NIO has been committed to driving sustainable business practices from day one. By weaving eco-conscious practices into our products and services, and inviting our community to take part in meaningful environmental actions, NIO is earning recognition from an increasing number of users.”

Clean Parks is a global ecological conservation initiative launched by NIO in partnership with WWF, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), and other organizations. It leverages NIO’s advantages in clean energy to promote smart EV adoption, build sustainable infrastructure, and create a clean, low-carbon, self-circulation energy system in nature reserves worldwide—all to help preserve the authenticity and integrity of ecosystems. It is also the world’s first open platform initiated by an automaker to support the development of national parks and protected areas.

NIO has provided over 60 smart EVs and nearly 70 charging piles for 19 protected sites around the world, including Sanjiangyuan National Park, Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park, and Qomolangma National Nature Preserve in China, and Skovsgaard Gods in Denmark. By supporting eco-patrols and scientific research, these smart mobility solutions offer a more sustainable way to safeguard some of the planet’s most fragile ecosystems.

NIO will take a more holistic approach to biodiversity conservation by partnering with WWF to create flagship Clean Parks education centers. Meanwhile, it will further leverage its resources to run Clean Parks user engagement events in a structured and efficient manner.

NIO features a very mature user community with sophisticated operations. A significant number of NIO users are profoundly concerned about environmental issues, which is a key reason for their choice of NIO. On Earth Day 2025, four users from the NIO community, some of whom have been long-term supporters of the Planet Partners program, jointly launched the NIO Planet Partners user club. Moving forward, NIO will collaborate with ONE PLANET to serve as a powerhouse for environmental advocates, transforming individual passion for the environment into real impact.

As NIO joins the Planet Partners program this year, it will provide benefits to individuals participating in the program, including access to global NIO Houses, green mobility services, and beverage vouchers. In the coming days, NIO will offer event space at NIO Houses and green mobility services to more long-term partner enterprises of the program.

NIO’s efforts in environmental protection and sustainable development have garnered recognition from various sectors. In 2023 and 2024, NIO was invited to attend the COP28 and COP29, where it shared relevant case studies on biodiversity conservation, establishing its international influence in sustainable development. This year, NIO was included in the Global 100 list of most sustainable companies by Corporate Knights, ranking first in the automotive industry.

The true treasure isn’t in the accolades we’ve earned, but the clean air and clear skies we leave for future generations. NIO strives to incorporate sustainable development into its core values, working with all stakeholders to shape a sustainable and brighter future together.
