1. Our commitment to a sustainable future
At EVBox, our vision is clear: to build a world where electric mobility is the new normal. We've made it our mission to empower society's transition to cleaner mobility with our all-in-one charging solutions. But we know our solutions alone are not enough. That's why we are committed to conducting business in a way that balances economic, social, and environmental sustainability factors in harmony. We do that by executing the EVBox’s ESG Roadmap under the coordination of our ESG Steering Group.
Our guiding principles
1. We advance transport electrification through responsible operations
By 2025, all major vehicle markets will have surpassed the 16% tipping point for mass passenger EV adoption, marking the completion of the first phase of the mobility transition. By bringing charging stations to market, EVBox contributes to advancing transport electrification and driving toward a zero-emission future. Alongside this, we operate in strict alignment with all relevant legislation, existing standards, and universal sustainability and ethics principles.
2. We cultivate sustainability across all areas
We take full ownership of our impact by measuring our carbon footprint. Through innovative product design and manufacturing processes, we actively reduce emissions, waste, and natural resource consumption. We pilot new materials and consistently strive for superior waste management practices.
3. We demand supply chain excellence
We drive excellence throughout our supply chain by setting stringent performance benchmarks and implementing targeted programs. To help build a cohesive network of responsible practices, our suppliers are expected to not only comply with our new Code of Conduct but to also communicate the same principles and expectations to their own suppliers, encouraging them to adopt similar, if not more ambitious standards, such as EVBox Net Zero Standards for EVBox Suppliers. Our intention is to foster a collaborative environment where we can work together to implement the outlined expectations and collectively drive positive change.
We have multiple areas of focus to promote sustainability throughout our operations. One aspect involves ensuring the repurposing and recycling of any obsolete stock. From our partnership with Drake & Farrell to increase value chain circularity to tracking our emissions throughout our supply chain, we work together with suppliers to make better choices. Additionally, our OneChargerTwoLives initiative connects customers and technical schools to prolong the end-of-life phase for charging stations.
4. We empower sustainable choices
We encourage employees to use public transport, share transportation, or work from home to avoid commuting emissions (EVBox Travel Policy). We hold virtual events and support a hybrid working model (WFH Policy). We organize internal events which are vegetarian or vegan and at our GoWest HQ we have teamed up with WeCanteen to deliver an environmentally conscious cafeteria for our employees and guests.
5. We take responsibility and action
We set internal targets as well as public goals. We also continuously enhance our Corporate Sustainability strategy and performance. We transparently monitor and report on our progress annually. We address electric mobility topics that matter during our REVOLUTION Live series where industry experts discuss sustainable growth in our global path to zero emissions. To work towards a better industry, EVBox co-founded ChargeUp Europe, an association working towards an expeditious and effortless rollout of EV charging infrastructure in Europe.
