Emission reduction
DAF’s main impact on the environment is through the emission of greenhouse gases and their related impact on global warming. Resulting from the Double Materiality Assessment, ‘climate change’ and ‘GHG emissions’ are critical topics we need to address. Recognizing this, Emission Reduction stands as the first pillar of our Sustainability Framework.
This chapter explores the various actions we are implementing and our roadmap with ambitions ahead to reduce our carbon footprint. While greenhouse gases (GHG) are our main focus, we also address Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), which can adversely affect air quality.
We aim to adopt innovative technologies and practices that promote cleaner operations and sustainable products. Through these actions, we aspire to contribute to a more sustainable environment and inspire others on this essential journey with us.
Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impact.
We understand the importance of reducing GHG emissions and aim to reduce the CO2 emissions of the trucks we sell during its lifetime as well as the CO2 emitted by our own facilities
Targets:
2030: Reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 CO2 emissions by 45% in comparison to 2018 (where Scope 2 emission reduction is based on ‘market based calculation’)
2030: Reduce the average CO2 emissions of trucks in their use phase (scope 3, category 11) by 43% in comparison to 2019 on fleet level.
We support and contribute to the EU ambition to become climate-neutral in scope 1, 2 and 3 CO2
emissions in 2050.
