At Applus+, we are committed to sustainability, working towards cleaner, greener operations and transport solutions to help tackle this global challenge. These are the most significant actions taken to reduce our environmental impact.
We hold a strong commitment to mitigating climate change through specific goals that have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Since 2019, we have increased the percentage of electricity sourced from renewables from 0% to 85%, reduced our Scope 1 and 2 emissions per employee by 40% and decreased our Scope 3 emissions by 8%.
This year, the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) has included us on its ‘A List’ of companies committed to environmental action and transparency. Additionally, The Financial Times and Statista have recognised us as one of Europe’s climate leaders.
Our headquarters at Applus+ IDIADA have seen a 7.5% reduction in energy use driven by the ongoing electrification of the automotive sector. We also achieved 97% waste recovery, marking a significant step toward full circularity and eliminating the need for landfills. By adopting renewable energy and focusing on sustainable practices, we are leading the way in reducing our environmental footprint.
To accomplish all this, we have expanded our fleet with more sustainable vehicles, undertaken efficient lighting projects and installed solar panels across multiple facilities. However, we do not only improve our internal management. Through the services we provide to our clients, we also contribute to reducing their own impact. We are the leading organisation in the validation and verification of Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) projects managed by the United Nations.
We provide specialised technical consultancy services focused on comprehensive carbon management for organisations, covering the entire process, from GHG emission quantification to mitigation planning, offsetting and climate change adaptation. We use our own digital applications, such as AmbiensQ, to facilitate decision-making. We also offer advisory services to implement more sustainable and efficient production strategies, energy plans and the design and calculation of the carbon footprint, helping organisations to develop action plans to achieve neutrality in this field.
We offer services related to climate change mitigation, services which help in the energy transition and advance the circular economy. This year, we launched our digital tool, the Carbon Footprint Monitor, which allows you to monitor the carbon footprint of your organisation and your supply chain. The tool enables you to track and analyse carbon emissions, set reduction targets, download data for further analysis and prepare emission reports for verification.
Vehicle inspections play a crucial role in controlling emissions and improving efficiency. By rigorously checking CO₂, NOx and particulate emissions, we ensure that only compliant vehicles remain on the road, significantly reducing air pollution. Our commitment extends to educating drivers on responsible driving habits, contributing to long-term sustainability. Additionally, we promote vehicle efficiency by identifying issues early, helping reduce fuel consumption and emissions.
