EVWAY FOR THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
The 17 Global Goals for the Sustainable Development were approved in 2015 by the United Nations General Assembly with the aim to guide and measure the contributions of States, civil society and private sector to sustainable development towards 2030.
These goals are a call to action for the whole world: the intent is to reduce poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity. evway is a spokesman for these goals, seeking, through its own activity, to promote the sustainable tourism, using energy from renewable sources and protecting the environment.
For this reason we proposed our project on Tourism for SDGs portal, the platform developed by UNWTO.
5. GENDER EQUALITY
We are committed to avoid any form of discrimination within the company, which is why we have policies in place to protect employees.
In particular, we have a gender equality policy, which ensures that we are an inclusive working environment offering equal opportunities and conditions, both in terms of career progression and salary.
7. RENEWABLE ENERGY
We only draw clean and certified energy from renewable sources for all public charging stations in our network. This contributes not only to goal 7, but also to goal 13, concerning the greenhouse gas emission indicator.
We also believe that our activity can contribute to the reduction of final energy consumption in households per capita. This indicator measures the amount of electricity and heat each citizen consumes at home, excluding energy used for transport. How? Thanks to the Vehicle To Home technology, energy stored in your electric car can be supplied to your home. This makes it possible to optimise energy consumption between car and home.
9. INNOVATION AND INFRASTRUCTURE
We constantly strive to offer both business customers and end users an innovative, comprehensive and reliable service. That is why we invest heavily in research and development on a daily basis (indicator: gross internal R&D expenditure per sector).
We contribute significantly to the avoidance of average CO2 emissions per km from new cars from year to year, as we have an in-house electric fleet. All trips and travel take place with electric vehicles or public transport. With this indicator we also contribute to goals 12 and 13.
11. SUSTAINABLE CITIES AND COMMUNITIES
We believe in sustainable urban development, promote the sharing economy and the spread of electric vehicles and travellers as a way of improving the environment.
Through our activities, we encourage the development of electric mobility through the installation of charging points. This, over time, leads to a reduction of particulate matter (PM10) in the air, resulting in an improvement of air pollution in the city and a better quality of life for citizens; thus, achieving better air quality against daily exposures to particulate air pollution.
In particular, we can see from the table below how in the years 2011-2017 there was a decrease in particulate air pollution due to the introduction of new European standards to reduce air pollution.
12. RESPONSIBLE CONSUMPTION
We manage resources wisely, avoiding unjustified wastage and adopting cost-effective and efficient behaviour.
We actively contribute to this goal, as evway has an electric fleet that is used daily by employees for business trips.
Particularly, we do not produce any direct CO2 emissions and we reuse the working hardware of broken columns.
13. FIGHT AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE
We strive daily to choose sustainable criteria, reducing consumption and CO2 emissions and impacting the territory as little as possible with infrastructure and services.
We only use clean and certified energy from renewable sources for all public charging stations in our network (greenhouse gas emission indicator, as per target 7, and we also contribute to the avoidance of average CO2 emissions per km.
