Sustainability is existential to us

We do not have a sustainability strategy – we have a business strategy that would not exist without sustainability. Our sustainable legacy and continuous focus to do good is what we believe will set us apart from everybody else in our market towards becoming a leading European EV charging player. If the topic of sustainability was not present in the transport sector, our entire business model would not exist, as everyone would continue to drive with combustion engines. On our journey towards this ambition, we use the strategy cascade to structure and formulate how we are planning to reach our goals.

Nachhaltigkeit

Our 4 focus areas

On the basis of this double materiality, we have defined 4 focus areas for ourselves, within the framework of which we want to contribute to further strengthen our sustainability, these are:

What are we already doing in Germany?

We measure the environmental footprint of our activities with a carbon footprint. We take into account Scope 1, 2 and 3 of the GHG Protocol (direct and indirect emissions generated as well as emissions caused by our supply chains).

We are working on a sustainable supply chain. For our home charging solution, we have been working exclusively with the KEBA Green Edition, which is CO2-neutral, since 2023.

We are reducing the number of journeys made by our technicians by digitalizing our installation process. In 2022, we were able to reduce the number of journeys for home charging installations by 7 percent.

We actively support the non-profit program JOBLINGE in the fight for equal opportunities. Various Mer employees have participated in workshops for young adults with difficult starting conditions to support them on their path to the future.
