Focus on Climate Protection

Climate change is one of the central challenges of our time – and at the same time a mandate for action. We make our contribution by consistently anchoring climate and environmental protection in our business activities. The CO2 footprint of our company, which we use to make our progress measurable, provides an important orientation in this regard. Our aim is to gradually reduce it within our business activities.

To this end, we are focusing on targeted measures to reduce CO2 emissions and are continuously developing our range of products and services – among other things, by increasing the proportion of all-electric vehicles. We bundle our activities in clearly defined focus fields: "Decarbonizing Mobility", "Green Finance", "Circular Economy", "Green Building" and "Green Operations & Digital Business". The topic of "Green IT" is considered as a cross-cutting issue in numerous processes.

We see climate protection as a joint task that extends to all areas of our company.

Reduction of CO2 emissions

The CO2 footprint forms the basis for the analysis of emissions and the systematic work on reduction at Porsche Holding Salzburg. We have set ourselves the goal of reducing our CO2 emissions (direct emissions and indirect emissions from energy) by 42 percent by 2030 compared to the base year 2021.

Decarbonization is based on the following levers:

  • ENERGY SAVINGS AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY
    1. Energy savings through usage behaviour
    2. Building transformation: New buildings according to the standards of the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB) as well as renovations of existing buildings
  • FLEET DECARBONIZATION
    1. Conversion of company cars and company fleet to fully electric vehicles
  • RENEWABLE ENERGIES
    1. Expansion of photovoltaic systems
    2. Purchase of green electricity

Focus on all-electric vehicles

We are increasingly focusing our offering on all-electric vehicles (BEVs) in order to contribute to the reduction of CO₂ emissions as part of our business activities, especially in the use phase of our vehicles. In doing so, we rely on a broad portfolio of models as well as close cooperation with our brand partners.

Studies on the life cycle of vehicles show that battery-electric models tend to cause lower greenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions than comparable vehicles with combustion engines under current and expected future conditions in Europe. However, the specific extent of these savings varies and is influenced, among other things, by the electricity mix used, the type of vehicle and individual usage behaviour (e.g. ICCT, 2025).

At the same time, digital and software-based services along mobility are becoming increasingly important. Together with the automotive manufacturers, we are working on further developing corresponding solutions and integrating them into our product range. The aim is to provide our customers with networked and user-oriented mobility solutions in which vehicles, software and services interlock.
