The environment

 

 

As the world transitions to a low carbon economy,
regulatory change and changes in consumer behaviour
will have an impact on the
automotive and technology
industries, meaning we need to continue to develop
and adapt our business strategy.

 

Developing a climate resilient strategy
which aims to minimise future risks,
capture opportunities and protect our
business from the impact of climate change.

 

ALIGNMENT WITH THE UN SDGS

 

 

OUR STRATEGIC AMBITION

 

Our net zero targets:

  • Transitioning our operations to net zero

  • Transitioning our supply chain to net zero

 

Partnering with our industries:

  • Inform public policy and regulation

  • Supporting industry transformation to net zero

 

Supporting our consumers:

  • Adapt our marketplace to make it easier for consumers to search for EVs

  • Increase information, coverage and exposure of EVs

Putting the brakes on carbon

Our strategic ambition is to minimise our impact on the environment, thereby protecting our business from the impact of climate change.

 

Our strategy is to ‘put the brakes on carbon’, not only across our own operations and supply chain, but also by using our capabilities and voice to influence the automotive and technology industries to support others in the transition to a low carbon economy.

We have committed to reaching net zero by 2040 and have a carbon reduction target which has been validated by the Science Based Targets Initiative.

 

Our aim is to influence the Government, and partner with and support the automotive and technology industries in their own transition towards a low carbon economy.

 

We also aim to support consumers to make more environmentally friendly vehicle choices through surfacing content and information on our site to grow consumer confidence around electric vehicles.
