Lead in Green

Our ambition is to LEAD IN GREEN: We want to lead decisively in matters of sustainability in our industry and actively promote the transition to a carbon neutral mobility and transport sector.

DKV Mobility has set two short and medium-term climate goals:

• With regard to our own climate balance by 2023, we want to become a climate positive company by removing more CO₂ from the atmosphere than we emit.

• By 2030, we want to support our customers in reducing the carbon intensity of their vehicle fleets by 30 % as compared with 2019.

In addition to managing our own carbon balance, we focus on attractive services for our customers. We support them in an effortless switch to low-carbon fuels and electromobility. And with our digital applications, we enable them to drive more efficiently and environmentally. In doing so we also contribute to the ambitious climate goals set by the European Union and the United Nations – for a sustainable future of mobility and transport.

„The “Green Pledge” is the focal point of our LEAD IN GREEN strategy. Our pledge promotes innovation and creativity in the company, generates commitment and reminds us every day not to lose sight of the overarching goal – climate protection.”
– Marco van Kalleveen, CEO DKV Mobility

Find out below how we are putting LEAD IN GREEN and our “Green Pledge” into action.

As an important component of our LEAD IN GREEN ambition, we are looking for ways to support our customers on their way to tomorrow's mobility.

The transformation to sustainable mobility and logistics is the biggest task that our industry has ever faced. You need a clear strategy and a strong partner who implements this together with you. “We Care” stands for exactly this partnership. Together we will define the right mix for you and together we will support you in a sustainable future.

Our portfolio is based on four pillars:

E-mobility:
With more than 200,000 public charging points, we offer one of the largest charging networks in Europe. Learn more here about E-mobility.

Alternative fuels:
Here we already have the largest independent network and are experiencing a large increase in sales, especially in the natural gas sector (LNG / CNG). Learn more here about alternative fuels.

Digital services:
With DKV LIVE, we have launched our first telematics solution on the market, which enables CO₂-optimized driving through route optimization and other driver assistance systems and helps to avoid empty runs. Learn more here about digital services.

DKV CARD CLIMATE:
Through the DKV Card CLIMATE, our customers can actively contribute to climate protection and compensate for the emissions caused by the consumption of fuel when driving (also known as tank-to-wheel) in certified climate protection projects with DKV Mobility and myclimate. Currently, three high-quality climate protection projects get supported. All projects have been certified according to the internationally recognised Gold Standard. Regular controls ensure that the projects actually do reduce carbon emissions and that they really are certified. Aside from reducing greenhouse gas emissions, these projects also demonstrably make a positive contribution to sustainable development. They help create jobs, improve the general living conditions of people at their respective locations and protect biodiversity. These additional effects also count towards achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations.

Detailed progress reports for the year 2021 for the three projects can be accessed here.

We can only credibly claim to LEAD IN GREEN if we lead by setting a good example. With our “Green Pledge” we have set ourselves the ambitious goal of becoming a climate positive company by the end of 2023. Sustainability starts on our own doorstep. Our goal is to avoid and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in our day-to-day business processes. Wherever this is not possible, we instead compensate for our emissions.

We have already made many advances in the last few years. For example, our company headquarters in Ratingen (DE), where more than one-third of our employees work, is already carbon neutral. We would like to continue this progress and carry it over to our other office locations in Europe.

Specific information on our progress in the "Environmental" field of action can be found in our Sustainability Report.

One of the measures to achieve these goals is to ensure that an Environmental Management System (EMS) is implemented at the headquarters in Ratingen (Germany). Within the EMS it is ensured that we act sustainably, protect the environment and look ahead in terms of climate action. We aim at systematically and continually optimising our environmental performance.
