Following the departure of the two positions, the LeasePlan supervisory board conducted a review of LeasePlan’s governance structure.
In November LeasePlan unveiled their first annual sustainability report outlining its progress on the firms overall sustainability strategy.
It included the company’s ambitions to achieve net-zero emissions from its total fleet by 2030.
The report had three key focus areas: shaping the future of low-emission mobility, strengthening its contribution to societal well-being and reducing its own environmental impact.
Tex Gunning, chief executive of LeasePlan, said of the report: “Climate change is the biggest challenge we face as humanity, and as road transport accounts for around 20% of global CO2 emissions, we’re determined to play our part. That’s why we want to achieve zero tailpipe emissions from our entire fleet of 1.9m vehicles by 2030, starting with our employees’ vehicles.
“These are, of course, ambitious goals, which is why we’ve decided to publish our first-ever Sustainability Report. We want to be transparent with our customers, investors and other stakeholders, about how our zero-emission journey is going and where we can improve. Our mantra is simple: if it’s reportable, it’s measurable – and then we can be held accountable,” he added.
