In the latest of our Great Women podcasts, we chat to Freiderike Kienitz about how Nissan is reinforcing its sustainability focus

Tune into our new series of Autocar podcasts, as we chat to Freiderike Kienitz from Nissan who is senior vice president of sustainability, corporate affairs and governance.

As the car industry faces ever more stringent climate regulations and increasingly complex interactions with governments around the world, Freiderike explains where Nissan’s strategy is heading, with a push for full electric and how that will change both the industry and society.

In a wide-ranging interview, she also explains how the pandemic has affected working practices and how a gender/cultural mix is vital for a modern industrial company.
