Environmental commitment
At Ayvens, we believe that acting responsibly is the key to our future. And we also believe that, by being part of the solution to the problems our world is facing – from climate change to inequality and beyond – we can bring benefits to all our stakeholders.
Holistically responsible
We’re committed to a holistic, global approach to tackling environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues – all founded on four sustainability pillars. In other words, these pillars make up the four-wheel drive system that powers everything we do.
Shaping the future of sustainable mobility
Our goal is to reduce carbon emissions from our operations and make mobility more sustainable. We are currently offering our customers more low-carbon solutions than ever before. Our goal is that by 2026, 50% of our new car deliveries will be rechargeable vehicles. For fully electric cars, we aim for 40% of our total deliveries. To achieve our goal, we want to offer our customers an even broader range of services, including multimodal mobility solutions, mobility as a service (MaaS) and extensive consultancy, in addition to traditional leasing services. By offering a new range of services, we support the shift towards sustainable mobility solutions, where the future will not only focus on cars, but also on other forms of mobility.
Respecting the environment and the community
Thanks to out global reach, expanding business model and unique position as a sustainable mobility leader, we can make a positive end-to-end impact all along our value chain. We're determined to reduce the negative impact of our operations, lowering our carbon footprint across Scopes 1,2 and 3 at a pace in line with the Net-Zero 2050 climate scenario, starting with a 20% reduction in overall emissions (versus our 2019 baseline) by 2030. Alongside this, we'll focus on ensuring responsible procurement, improving circularity in our maintenance and repair activities and living up to our societal commitment.
Behave responsibly, internally and with external stakeholders
As a listed and ECB-regulated industry leader, we take our responsibilities very seriously. Ayvens is committed to complying with external regulatory requirements and managing risk (including credit, residual value and asset and liability management risk) in a responsible and effective way, so we can keep delivering sustainable value to all our stakeholders, including the planet. We have a robust governance framework, supported the best-in-class policies and resources of our parent organisation, Societe Generale group. Our target is for 100% of our clients and suppliers to be covered under our KYC/KYS assessments by 2030.
Be a supportive and responsible employer
At Ayvens, we recognise that our people are our greatest asset and our most valuable resource. They drive our success, and we in turn take care to put their well-being first. Among other things, we ensure an engaging employee experience, offer exciting development opportunities and foster a diverse and inclusive culture. In short, we work continuously to provide a great experience for everyone, no matter who or where they are. It’s all part of our commitment to having a positive social impact.
Our ESG commitments
Key sustainability targets at a glance.
90-100 gCO2/km*
CO2 emissions** from our running fleet.
vs 112 gCO2/km in 2022.
* Covers global Passenger cars & LCV funded fleet, based on official tailpipe emissions data (WLTP standard where available) ** New target range reflecting newly implemented regulatory changes impacting the auto industry (e.g., PHEV emissions calculation rule in Euro 6e standard, relaxation of CO2 “CAFÉ” targets for OEMs).
Scope 1 & 2 emissions: -50% in 2030 (and -90% in 2050)* vs 2019.
Scope 2 is expressed in location-based metrics.
Scope 3 emissions: -30% in 2030 (and -90% in 2050)*** vs 2019.
*** Targets subject to validation by SBTi, based upon current market forecasts reflecting stated policies (e.g., 2035 ICE ban in EU). Ayvens reserves the right to adjust climate targets should exceptional circumstances occur, such as substantial changes in regulatory environment, of decisions that would lead to a material change in Ayvens product or geographical footprint.
For reference: •Scope 1: Covers direct emissions from owned or controlled sources (fossil fuels) = Gas + Fuel used in premises, + Petrol & Diesel Company Cars. •Scope 2: Covers indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, steam, heating and cooling for Ayvens' premises. Expressed in “location-based” metrics. •Scope 3: Includes all other indirect emissions that occur in Ayvens’ value chain, notably emissions of leased fleet during usage phase, production of cars and parts, emissions of used car sold.
Our SBTi net-zero commitment
As a responsible business, we act to accelerate progress towards a net-zero carbon future. That includes setting robust emissions reduction targets at the pace and scale required by climate science. We’re proud to be part of the Business Ambition for 1.5°C campaign: the world’s largest and fastest-growing group of companies that are aligning with 1.5°C by helping to halve global emissions by 2030.
This campaign is led by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) – which defines and promotes best practices in science-based target setting and independently assesses companies’ targets – in collaboration with CDP, the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), the World Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF)
Greener mobility, fleet by fleet
Sooner or later, every fleet manager reaches a fork in the road: switch to electric, or stick to the familiar path? At Ayvens, we believe sustainable mobility should be the easy choice for all our corporate clients. Here’s how we make fleet electrification a breeze.
