ESG • VEMO

Committed to being a force for good

The transport industry contributes up to 20% of the carbon emissions driving the climate crisis. At VEMO, we believe electromobility is more than a technological shift – it’s a revolution that holds the power to transform lives and reduce carbon emissions.

How we are driving change

Together we can change how people move around.

Here are the areas where we believe we can do the most good.

Climate Change

Our electric fleet reduces carbon emissions by 66% during the operational phase compared to combustion vehicles.

Air Pollution

We contribute locally to improving air quality through sustainable mobility by avoiding emissions of harmful gases (SOx, NOx, PM).

Clean Energy

We are on the road to secure agreements with Qualified Suppliers to provide with clean energy our highest capacity EV charging solutions.

Green Jobs

As a sustainable mobility solution, we help create green jobs that combat climate change and improve well-being, while also striving to offer fair wages and safe working conditions.

Financial Inclusion

Promoting financial inclusion for independent sustainable mobility drivers to help them build assets, reduce operating costs, and decrease their environmental impact.

VEMO Way

We foster the development of talent and knowledge in sustainable mobility technologies and create partnerships with various stakeholders in the ecosystem to accelerate the adoption of electromobility in the region and reduce carbon emissions.
