Better Health for All

Li Auto's core products, electric vehicles, do not have a direct positive or negative health impact, as environmental pollution control is explicitly excluded from this value's scope. The company has no revenue from products with negative health outcomes.

For safety, Li Auto's 2024 ESG report indicates that its Li MEGA and Li L6 models achieved the highest G+ rating in the China-Automobile Health Index (C-AHI) and China Insurance Automotive Safety Index (C-IASI). The Li L6, Li L9, and Li L7 models received five-star ratings in the China-New Car Assessment Program (C-NCAP) and China Intelligent-connected Car Assessment Program (C-ICAP). However, in 2020, 10,469 Li ONE vehicles were recalled due to front suspension design safety hazards, and the company initially misclassified this as a "hardware upgrade" before issuing an apology and filing a recall with SAMR. This constitutes a notable safety incident with delayed safety responses. For risk transparency, the company's initial misclassification of the 2020 recall as an "upgrade" instead of a recall, despite safety hazards, indicates misleading marketing about health benefits and significant undisclosed risks. Regarding healthcare data responsibility, the 2021 ESG report noted a Level 3 cybersecurity protection certification for its user service system and App, which is a basic level of protection. During public health emergencies, Li Auto donated RMB 1 million to Shijiazhuang for COVID-19 response and RMB 10 million to Henan for flood relief in 2021, which represents a reactive crisis response with limited flexibility. The company established an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for mental health support in 2021, indicating basic recognition of mental health but limited practical support.
