Jaguar Land Rover boss says Greta Thunberg's criticism 'not justified'

The boss of Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has hit out at Greta Thunberg, saying that climate activists like the Swedish teenager and Extinction Rebellion make “no contribution” and have “no ideas”.

Speaking to the Sunday Times, Ralf Speth, JLR’s outgoing boss, described Thunberg’s campaigning as “doing wrong in many areas” by raising issues but not coming up with solutions on climate change.

Speth, whose decade-long tenure at the top of the luxury carmaker has seen the UK automotive industry battle the twin headwinds of Brexit and climate change, said her criticism was “not justified” because businesses had also created a better world.

“Greta created the wake-up call for many companies and people. But on the other hand, this kind of very populistic criticism — we destroyed her life, killed this and that — is not justified because we also created a better life. Wealth, health, education — the world is getting better”, he said.
