In 2024, we entered a decisive period for EU’s sustainable ambitions, the Clean Industrial Deal maintaining course on climate change mitigation targets requiring industries, and the automotive sector in particular, to sustain the pace of the transition. In this context, Arval has progressed towards its decarbonisation targets, now being SBTi committed, and has evolved its sustainable mobility offers and consulting approach supporting its customers in their environmental and social ambitions. Its commitment to ESG 1 has been rewarded by the EcoVadis platinum medal for its 2024 performance 2 , ranking Arval in the top 1% of companies assessed. Arval’s performance against each of the four EcoVadis key areas 3 is detailed in this report, reflecting the engagement of the whole organisation to act for impact. The extension of Arval Beyond strategic plan to 2026 has been an opportunity to update sustainability objectives, and to launch new initiatives to integrate further environmental challenges in new and used cars business, as well as in Arval’s operations. The 2024 Arval annual Sustainability Report is issued in line with the Sustainability Statements 4 published in accordance with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). It includes some key elements of the Sustainability Statements, such as Arval’s materiality assessment of ESG impacts, risks, and opportunities linked with its activities.
