In 2023, Astara committed to achieving carbon neutrality in its operations by 2027* (scope 1 and 2) by electrifying 90% of its employee fleet and reaching 100% renewable energy consumed in its facilities as part of its mission to make mobility more accessible and sustainable. As an important component of its carbon neutrality strategy, the company is developing a demanding carbon offset plan, aiming for 80% of the offset to be through CO2e removal-oriented projects.
In its second sustainability report, Astara shares concrete environmental and social advances, such as the electrification of more than 35% of its employee fleet; and the increase in renewable energy consumption to 40%, maintaining its commitment to reach 100% by 2027.
Sustainability is in the company's DNA, both in its ownership business (purchase of vehicles) and in its usership or pay-per-use (subscription and carsharing) business. Already in 2023, one in three vehicles sold by Astara in Europe, Latin America and Southeast Asia were electrified. In terms of subscription and carsharing, more than 50% of its fleet is electrified.
