In 2017, our Group initiated a structured CSR approach with the « Commit Together » program, in order to share its commitments with all of its employees on various aspects of Corporate Social Responsability. By focusing on 4 main priorities, the « Commit Together » program supports both the Group’s strategy and its purpose: offering attractive alternatives to vehicle ownership, in a responsible and sustainable way.
We are convinced that mobility is a driver of social inclusion, and in this sense, we consider access to mobility as a key factor. This is why Europcar Mobility Group proposes a range of offers that is diversified enough to cover all customer needs and budgets.
At the same time, the Group develops social initiatives in favor of accessible mobility, for both people with reduced mobility and, more generally, for people with a critical need for mobility, whether for structural or occasional reasons.
The Group is convinced that its performance is closely linked to the diversity, the development and the commitment of its employees.
These three pillars are the foundations upon which the Group’s responsibility as an employer relies on and focuses its efforts, while it ensures that any major societal changes affecting the workplace are incorporated as and when they arise.
By the very nature of its activities, our Group contributes to achieving a low carbon world by offering attractive alternatives to car ownership, contributing in this way to the reduction of the number of cars on the roads and in our cities.
In addition, the Group’s vision is to become a leader in dedicated, sustainable mobility in the years to come. This involves implementing specific initiatives aimed at reducing the Group’s carbon footprint.

In the context of the COP 25 on Climate in Madrid in December 2019, the United Nations Global Compact launched a call for action to the executives of large international corporations through its « Business Ambition for 1.5°C » campaign, asking them to commit to defining a goal for reducing their greenhouse gas emissions within two years. Europcar Mobility Group answered this call.
By joining SBTi, Europcar Mobility Group commits to reduce:
· absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 46.2% by 2030 from a 2019 base year,
· absolute scope 3 GHG emissions 27.5% over the same timeframe.

The SBTi’s Target Validation Team has notably classified Europcar Mobility Group’s scope 1 and 2 target ambition and has determined that it is in line with a 1.5°C trajectory.
