Our certified processes and products confirm our commitment to quality, safety, and environmental friendliness, allowing us to exceed our customers’ expectations.
Armada Mobility is consciously engaged in sustainability and corporate social responsibility. This is reflected in the initiatives that Armada Mobility undertakes and in the certification for the CO₂ Performance Ladder. The CO₂ Performance Ladder is a tool to encourage companies participating in tenders to act CO₂-consciously in their own operations and in the execution of projects. It particularly focuses on energy savings, efficient use of materials, and the use of sustainable energy.
Level 5
Armada Mobility has achieved level 5 on the scale of 1 to 5 of the Performance Ladder. On the following pages, you can find the CO₂ footprint of Armada Mobility, additional reports, and more information about the initiatives related to the CO₂ Performance Ladder.
Calculating the CO₂ footprint of operations, a product, project, or process has become common practice today. There are global standards available to standardize this. A well-established CO₂ footprint forms the basis for the reduction policy of Armada Mobility. It is an essential part of the overall organizational policy.
Using a CO₂ footprint, an organization can gain insight into the total greenhouse gas emissions caused by the organization, a process, or a product. Based on the CO₂ footprint of Armada Mobility, specific reduction targets have been established.
The CO₂ Performance Ladder of Armada Mobility is part of the integrated management system. Requirements from laws and regulations that are considered relevant for Armada Mobility are also included in this system.
Armada Mobility is aware of the environmental aspects of its activities and products and the responsibility that comes with them. It will do everything reasonably within its power to prevent material damage and environmental harm.

The requirements in this area relate to communicating energy policy, the CO₂ footprint, and the reduction targets set by Armada Mobility. This applies to both employees and external stakeholders.
Armada Mobility aims to be transparent and to raise stakeholder awareness about the necessity of CO₂ reduction. This is achieved through clear communication with internal and external target groups via various channels. The communication plan serves as the foundation for all communication activities. Through this website, recent updates on CO₂ targets and reductions are published.
The communication activities surrounding CO₂ reduction at Armada Mobility are described for both internal and external stakeholders.
Armada Mobility actively and passively participates in initiatives to develop or support efforts in CO₂ reduction. The organization started working on this topic several years ago.
This includes active participation in at least one initiative in the field of CO₂ reduction (3D1).
Armada Mobility does not work in isolation but collaborates with partners, industry colleagues, customers, and clients to develop sustainable solutions.
For all projects at Armada Mobility, outsourcing work leads to a significant CO₂ emission that falls within the “by third parties” category, mainly due to transport and related waste.
Armada Mobility initiates projects that contribute to further reducing CO₂ emissions. For example, by improving waste separation and reducing transport packaging, this impact can be minimized.
Incorporating CO₂ emissions as a key focus area in planning will help raise awareness of Armada Mobility’s impact and encourage positive contributions to further CO₂ reduction goals.

By distributing colleagues more efficiently across offices, the heating and lighting in the resulting vacant office spaces could be turned off. In the remaining offices, thermostats have been set lower.
Efforts have been made to use company vehicles more efficiently. Several gasoline-powered passenger cars have been replaced with electric vehicles. By charging them at the business premises using our Waargro wind electricity, emissions have been significantly reduced. In product and design, an effort has been made to minimize waste materials and opt for sustainable materials wherever possible. Additionally, as part of the CO₂ performance ladder, our CO₂ emissions are reduced by using Waargro gas.
The comparison of realized emissions over the past years shows that reductions have been achieved in Scope 1+2. A reduction has also been achieved in Scope 3.
In the recently developed Energy Management Program, an analysis of the achieved results has been conducted, and new reduction targets have been set. With this, Armada Mobility continues to work on reducing CO₂ emissions.
Semi-Annual Footprints

Reducing CO₂ emissions is crucial for combating climate change, ensuring a livable environment, and protecting the ecosystem. Armada Mobility takes responsibility for both direct and indirect CO₂ emissions from its operations and procurement activities.

Carbon Footprint-analyse
The Carbon Footprint analysis provides insight into which activities throughout the entire lifecycle contribute most to greenhouse gas emissions. This creates a clear overview and understanding of emissions across the entire supply chain.
In addition to the initiatives launched in previous years, Armada Mobility selects additional focus areas each year. Progress is monitored through the PDCA cycle, and adjustments are made where necessary.
Recovery Action Plan
The Energy Policy is implemented and continuously monitored. There is regular communication and ad hoc discussions to promote awareness of this topic.
The measures taken contribute to reducing emissions, but due to fluctuating consumption, some results are difficult to measure.
Scope 1 shows a continuous reduction. This is partly due to climate and economic factors but also to better energy management, such as improved heating and door usage by employees.
The company fleet has also been reduced over the years. The replacement of diesel and gasoline vehicles has shifted entirely to electric vehicles where possible, leading to positive environmental effects. All forklifts have also been replaced with electric models, reducing emissions from other gases to nearly zero.
Scope 2 has become CO₂-neutral due to the purchase of WaargroWind. Electricity consumption is still being monitored, but further reductions are achieved through ISO14001 and the Energy-Saving Measures List.
Scope 3 shows a decrease. This is mainly due to fluctuations in revenue and procurement, as emissions in this category are linked to purchase turnover.
We had already collected general data from our suppliers regarding their CO₂, environmental, sustainability, and safety policies. We will expand this further by strengthening direct communication to improve collaboration in these areas.
We are also continuing the implementation of the MKI (Environmental Cost Indicator) factor in our products and will systematically create material passports to encourage sustainability.
n addition to existing reduction measures and goals, such as transitioning to electric vehicles and responsible use of gas, electricity, and fuel, we have launched several new initiatives. We have embraced ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) principles and committed to actively implementing a range of measures, including:
Reducing CO₂ emissions by 42% by 2030
Reducing the IF factor by 25% compared to the national average
Encouraging suppliers to communicate their reduction possibilities
Additionally, we continue to focus on solar panel installations, aiming for climate-neutral operations at our project locations.
For Scope 3, we aim to further expand ongoing initiatives. We will incorporate our experience with refurbishing shelters and bicycle facilities, the use of solar panels on bicycle parking facilities, and other sustainable applications into our projects.
Another ongoing focus point is the fluctuating waste stream. Fluctuations are inherent to changing activities over time, but progress is being made through improved waste separation. By increasingly using the MKI (Environmental Cost Indicator) program during the development phase, the reusability and recycling of residual materials will improve.
Additionally, attention remains on Scope 1 in two key areas. A significant step has already been made since the beginning of 2021, when we switched to Waargro wind energy, reducing electricity-related emissions to zero. Moreover, we continue to replace fossil fuel-powered passenger cars with electric ones, reducing emissions from company vehicles.
Key Focus Areas
Armada Mobility has the ambition to be CO₂-neutral by 2030. In addition to continuing and expanding the previously mentioned measures, we plan to transition all business passenger cars to electric in the short term and aim to have all company vehicles electric by 2030.
