Environmental commitment

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

As an actor committed to responsible business, we want to drive the shift towards net zero emissions, which requires setting clear emission reduction targets at the pace and scale required by climate science. We are therefore proud to be part of the Business Ambition for 1.5°C campaign. The campaign is the world's largest and fastest growing business initiative to help halve global emissions by 2030.

The campaign is driven by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi), which represents best practice in science-based climate target setting and independently assesses business targets in partnership with the CDP (formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project), the UN Global Compact (UNGC), the World Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF).

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.
