For the first time, Autorola has gathered and reported sustainability data from across all our markets — aligned with the EU's new CSRD framework.
A message from our CFO
Over the past year, Autorola has taken an important step forward on our ESG journey. For the first time, we have gathered and reported sustainability data from across all our markets in a structured way, aligned with the EU's new CSRD framework.
ESG reporting is about showing how a company acts responsibly and transparently — not just financially, but also environmentally, socially and in the way it is governed. It helps build trust with customers, partners and investors, and ensures we are tracking and improving the things that matter most.
It is important to note that Autorola is not legally required to adhere to ESG reporting requirements at this stage. We do so because responsible governance, transparency, IT security and data privacy are already part of how we operate as a global company.
This is a proactive choice — we do ESG reporting because it supports trust and our long-term ambition as a responsible and reliable partner.
This first reporting cycle is not about perfection. It is about transparency, learning and building the foundation for the work ahead. I want to thank everyone who contributed data, insights and time during this process.
What we have achieved together
We have mapped our global CO2 footprint
This year, Autorola completed its first full CO2 baseline. In simple terms, this means:
- We know how much CO2 we emit as a company
- We understand where these emissions come from
- We have the foundation needed to set meaningful climate goals in the future
This work positions us well in relation to customer expectations, EU regulations and the broader ambitions set by the Paris Agreement.
A key insight from our baseline is that most of our emissions come from our suppliers and wider value chain. This is common in service- and technology-driven organisations, but it also presents a significant challenge:
- Data on emissions rely heavily on collaboration from external partners
- Improving accuracy will take time as suppliers mature their own reporting practices
- Reductions require long-term engagement and joint initiatives across the supply chain
By establishing the baseline now, we take the first crucial step to strengthen our data over time, work more closely with suppliers, and identify areas where realistic reductions can be achieved.
Data privacy and IT security remain key strengths
ESG is not only about climate. It is also about trust, and data security remains one of the areas where Autorola is most mature. We already have:
- Strong GDPR governance and clear policies
- Security steering committees
- Reliable cloud and IT infrastructure
- A proactive approach to risk management
For our customers — especially large fleets, OEMs and financial institutions — this is a critical part of why they choose Autorola.
We have a clearer picture of our workforce
Our first ESG report also includes a high-level overview of our global organisation:
- Workforce demographics and diversity
- Turnover and retention insights
- Clear HR policies on development, equal opportunities and anti-discrimination
What happens next?
Our next steps focus on strengthening the quality and depth of our ESG data:
- Improving energy data collection to strengthen our CO2 reporting accuracy
- Enhancing consistency across countries
- Continuing to develop our governance processes
- Building the foundation needed for future climate targets
This is a multi-year journey, and we will move step by step — always guided by transparency and realistic ambitions.
Why this work matters
This ESG foundation is important because:
- Customers expect transparency and climate data from their partners
- Investors and financial institutions assess ESG maturity closely
- Employees value responsibility, purpose and trust
Most importantly, this work helps us run a better, more resilient and future-ready business.
Together, we are building the foundations for a responsible and transparent future for Autorola.
