The implementation of ESG criteria (environmental, social and governance) is a complex issue of increasing strategic importance for many companies. In the wake of stricter legal requirements and growing social expectations, the aspect of sustainability is coming to the fore. One key starting point for improving the ESG balance sheet is the electrification of the company fleet.
The “environment” area in particular is one of the main pillars of ESG optimization.
As BEV (Battery Electric Vehicle) vehicles do not cause any direct emissions during operation, this not only improves local air quality, but also greatly optimizes the company’s CO2 balance. This is an important part of the CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) requirements and also strengthens trust in the company.
In addition to the ecological benefits and the resulting ESG optimization, the switch to an electric fleet also has economic advantages for companies. By setting up a charging infrastructure for BEV vehicles, companies can also generate additional revenue. Especially in areas with increasing demand for charging services and a coordinated charging infrastructure in combination with a photovoltaic system, this results in a lucrative business model.
This combination creates synergies between renewable energy and electromobility, which contributes to cost savings and sustainability in the long term.
In summary, it can be said that switching to a BEV fleet not only contributes to ESG optimization, but also increases the company’s competitiveness through potential business models. A well thought-out e-mobility strategy to achieve ecological and economic goals is essential.
