Mer first Sustainability Report
According to our owner’s Statkraft “Low emissions scenario 2021”, electrification is the single most important contributor to emission cuts. The transport sector stands for 25% of the CO2 emissions, and almost 75% of this is from road transportation. It is therefore of little doubt that the transition from internal combustion engines cars (ICE) to electric vehicles (EVs) are fundamental to battle the climate changes. Still, the transition to EVs is only sustainable when the cars are powered by renewable energy and it is in this sweet spot Mer is positioned to accelerate the transition of EV’s in Europe.
That is why we are committed to become carbon neutral during 2023. With this target, we want to set the standard within our industry and inspire others to make the same efforts – for a better tomorrow!
Kristoffer Thoner - CEO of Mer Group
Since sustainability is deeply rooted in our DNA, we have set ourselves ambitious targets on how to reduce our climate impact. Although we have provided EV drivers with renewable energy in our charging stations for many years, the Mer Sustainability Report is a revamped statement on our journey to work even more systematically on the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), also including the important social and governance aspects. We are committed to sustainable and responsible business practices and our commitment can only be achieved if our employees, suppliers and partners act with the same ambition.
