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 to mitigate our environmental impacts. While greenhouse gases (GHG) are a main focus, we also address nitrogen oxides (NOx) and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), which can adversely affect air and water 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 healthier environment and inspire others on this essential journey towards sustainability.
Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impact.
We understand the importance of reducingCO2 emissions and aim to reduce the CO2 emissions of the trucks we sell 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 CO2 emissions of product use (Scope 3, category 11) per ton*km by 43% in comparison to 2019
To achieve these CO2 ambitions, enabling conditions are essential. While we are investing in the development of zeroemission vehicles, the ambitious targets follow current regulations but they require adequate support from society, technological developments, our business partners, the economy and policy makers. This requires a collaborative effort among stakeholders, including policy makers, to develop necessary infrastructure and demand-side measures. Only by working together decarbonization of road transport can be achieved.
