APCOA releases ESG report 2024 – 35% drop in carbon emissions since 2023

Stuttgart, Germany. July 24, 2025 – APCOA, the leading European parking operator, has made great progress in implementing its ESG strategy, as the company’s recently published ESG report 2024 shows.

Nicola Veratelli, Chief Executive Officer of APCOA, said:
“At APCOA, we see sustainability as an opportunity to lead, innovate, and make a meaningful difference. Our ESG strategy is built around ambitious goals to be achieved by 2030, setting us firmly on the path to net zero by 2050. 2024 was a breakthrough year for APCOA’s
ESG journey. We turned strategy into action – and saw meaningful results.”

For example, the company managed to reduce its carbon footprint by 14,638 tCO2e – a 35% drop since 2023. Furthermore, it grew its electric fleet from 26% EV/Hybrid in 2023 to 35% EV/Hybrid in 2024. As a leader in mobility, the APCOA is proud to be driving the transition to greener transport solutions. Its rapidly expanding EV charging infrastructure is a key pillar of the company’s environmental strategy, and in 2024 it has taken this further – innovating and investing to help shape a cleaner, more connected future. At the end of 2024, the company managed 4,654 EV charge points – a 12% increase since 2023.

In addition to environmental sustainability, the company sees people at the core of its success. Since joining the UN Global Compact in 2021, the company put robust social responsibility measures in place to empower its teams and support local communities. In 2024, every APCOA country took ownership of their social impact, rolling out locally driven initiatives that support employees, champion diversity, and give back to causes that matter.

As pioneers in digital mobility solutions, APCOA takes its responsibilities seriously. From data security to ethical business practices, the company’s governance approach ensures every colleague is equipped to lead with integrity. And as APCOA supports its partners in meeting their own sustainability goals, the company is proud to set a standard for trust and transparency in its industry.

Kim Challis, Managing Director UK & Ireland and Group Director ESG comments:
“We’re proud of what we’ve achieved, but even more excited about what’s next. Across APCOA,
our people are embracing the challenge, sharing ideas, and pushing boundaries to make our business smarter, greener, and more inclusive.”

In 2025, APCOA UK was awarded its first Bronze EcoVadis rating. It signifies that the company has demonstrated a commitment to sustainability and has implemented practices across environmental, labor, ethics, and procurement areas. It places the company in the top 35% of those assessed by EcoVadis in the past year.
