The journey towards climate neutrality – the OEM viewpoint. Thought Leadership Presentation from our Diamond partner, Polestar
Frederika Klarèn
Head of Sustainability, Polestar
Global Fleet Live Session

Climate neutrality is achieved through net zero emissions of greenhouse gases, where emissions are balanced by disposal or completely eliminated. This transition is necessary if we are to be able to eliminate the automotive industry's emissions and create new opportunities.That is why Polestar invests in climate neutrality. However, we are not the first car brand to commit to eliminating its emissions. In recent times, we have seen a number of announcements about carbon neutrality, and companies have lined up to proclaim their climate ambitions. Although this is fantastic in theory, the reality is seldom that simple. With Fredrika Klarén, Head of Sustainability, Polestar

Often challenged, the transition from ownership to usership is inevitable and fits the trend towards cyclic economies like a glove. The translation of this transition into the corporate fleet ecosystem is "mobility", and it has made it to the top of the corporate agenda. The mobility supply chain is new, diverse and very often local, but the pace of its development is exceptional: not only are solutions being provided in more cities than ever before, but also peripheral services, such as mobility platforms, digital payments and integrations, are becoming mainstream. Change has started! In this session, you will find the answers on how to extend your fleet programme into a corporate mobility programme accessible for all employees.
