We aim to become the leading global sustainable mobility player
Driven by the power of our people
At Ayvens, our people make the difference. We promote a strong, values-led culture where our diversity is celebrated and the very best talent in the mobility industry thrives. We foster an inclusive environment that supports everyone’s well-being and engagement. And we invest in our colleagues’ growth and development – ensuring all our people can deliver their best performance, each and every day.
Driven by our sustainability ambitions
Acting responsibly is the key to our future, and we believe Ayvens’ holistic approach to sustainability, including ESG and beyond, will help us unlock sustainable value for our stakeholders and our planet. It all starts with our commitment to decarbonising mobility: we’re leading the charge in our industry to deliver more sustainable solutions and make greener mobility an easier choice for our customers.
Driven by our digital capabilities
Today, our customers expect a seamless digital journey to support how they move around in the real world – and that’s exactly what Ayvens’ digitalisation strategy will deliver. By building an efficient, end-to-end, global mobility platform (including self-service digital tools, streamlined business processes and enhanced connectivity), we aim to meet our customers’ individual needs and make sustainable mobility simpler for everyone.
Where we've come from
Ayvens was born from the acquisition of LeasePlan by ALD Automotive, the global mobility player part of the Societe Generale group. By bringing together our complementary capabilities and expertise, we saw an opportunity to reimagine mobility as we know it.
The combined offer spans full-service leasing, fleet management and multi-mobility solutions for large international corporates, SMEs, professionals and private individuals. With 15,700 employees operating in 42 countries, 3.4 million vehicles worldwide and the world’s largest multi-brand EV fleet, we’re helping life and business to flow better, leading the way to net zero and spearheading the digital transformation of the mobility sector.

Guiding our journey is our aim of making life flow better for our customers around the world – by enabling more seamless, more sustainable, more accessible mobility.
PowerUp for clients
We’re committed to making sustainable mobility easy for our clients. Our goal is to lead the way by offering a one-stop shop with the broadest client reach and geographical coverage, as well as the largest distribution capabilities (through more than 430 partnerships with OEMs and others). By providing the power of choice – across all client segments and through a digital-to-consumer approach – we aim to innovate and meet evolving market demands. Our focus on Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS), customer experience, multi-cycle leasing and digital services will set new standards in the industry.
PowerUp operational efficiency
Efficiency is at the core of our strategy. We’re dedicated to seamlessly integrating our two legacy companies and maximising our shared synergies. We’ll use our market leadership to leverage the power of scale to reduce costs and enhance value. And we’re committed to achieving best-in-class levels of operational efficiency by building the most efficient, scalable, global operating platform.
PowerUp responsibility
Environmental, social and governance (ESG) and risk management are fundamental to our strategy. We’ll keep leading the way to sustainable mobility by always advising clients on environmentally friendly choices, with our commitment to the electric vehicle (EV) transition and ambitious decarbonisation objectives reflecting our dedication. We’ll also invest in our employees and talent, foster a culture of responsibility and manage risks responsibly.
PowerUp profitability
Our financial objectives reflect our company’s ambition to grow while substantially improving our operating efficiency to best-in-class levels and maintaining a robust capital position. We aim to use our unique competitive positioning to boost profitability and deliver a strong financial performance.
