DKV sets the course for sustainability

The mobility service provider DKV Mobility recently presented its sustainability report, which can be downloaded from the company website. It covers the fields of action market, environment, employees and society and was based on the internationally recognized GRI standard for the first time. The mobility service provider is also setting the course for sustainability in terms of strategy and personnel. Building the largest e-charging network in Europe Since the founding of Charge4Europe - the joint venture between innogy and DKV - DKV Mobility has been driving forward the development of Europe's largest charging network for electric and hybrid vehicles.

The supply network for electric vehicles currently comprises 80,000 charging points and is set to be expanded to over 120,000 charging points by the end of 2020. In addition to public charging points, the mobility service provider offers products and services for charging at home (@home) and at work (@work). Strong focus on alternative fuels and digitalization DKV connects 5,000 filling stations every year, with a strong focus on multi-energy filling stations that offer alternative fuels such as LNG in addition to conventional fuels.

The company is also focusing on digitalization: in June 2020, DKV LIVE, a fully-fledged telematics system with a powerful digital platform, was launched on the market to help transport companies reduce their CO2 consumption through energy-efficient driving, economical fuel management and transparency along the supply chain through Track&Trace and Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) services. Marc Erkens appointed Head of Sustainability & New Mobility DKV has also firmly anchored the topic of sustainability within the organization: Marc Erkens will take up the newly created position of Head of Sustainability & New Mobility on September 1, 2020. Together with the Management Board, he will drive forward the topic of sustainability both internally and externally, and promote DKV's claim to be "Lead in Green".
