Shaping the future of Public Transport

Henri Depe Tchatchu
COO CarMedialab GmbH

Foreword

As Managing Director and COO of CarMedialab, a company at the forefront of automotive innovation and digital solutions, it is with great pride that I present this Corporate Social Responsibility Report (CSR) , focusing on the transformative impact of electric buses and advanced charge management systems in public transport on environmental sustainability, particularly in improving air quality in our urban centers.

At CarMedialab, we understand that the future of urban mobility hinges on sustainable practices that not only address today’s environmental challenges but also pave the way for a healthier, more sustainable tomorrow. The introduction of electric buses into the public transport fleet represents a pivotal shift towards cleaner, more efficient urban transport systems. Coupled with sophisticated charge management technologies, we are not just witnessing an evolution in transportation but a revolution in how we envision city living and environmental stewardship. Together, let’s drive towards a cleaner, greener tomorrow.

We will only be using renewable energy in our offices.

2030

The emissions coming from the production and delivery chain of our Flea 4 is completely offset.

Our fleet will be fully electric. All business travel is offset and reduced to a minimum.

Our Impact

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity by 2030. They were adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015 as a universal call to action. CarMedialab respects and aligns its operations with the SDGs to contribute to a more sustainable future. The company particularly focuses on four key SDGs that align with its core operations and values, underscoring its commitment to not only drive innovation in its field but also to ensure its contributions positively impact society and the environment.

Our company is experiencing healthy growth. We are creating new jobs worldwide with fair salaries. As a trainer with a focus on IT, sales, administration and media, we offer young people the opportunity to enter future-proof professions.

We increase the efficiency of the existing charging infrastructure and thus enable more resource-efficient use. We distribute loads to make the best possible use of solar energy and eco-tariffs during charging processes.

Our innovative software solutions increase the attractiveness of electromobility in public transportation. As a result, we are reducing pollutant emissions and noise pollution in cities and municipalities around the world in the long term.

We are constantly reducing our ecological footprint and aligning our values with sustainable goals. Business trips are made by train as standard. Our vehicle fleet consists largely of electric cars and is supplemented by plug-in hybrids.

Environmental Impact in 2023

We are reducing our impact on the environment by electrifying our fleet and the usage of alternative modes of travel by encouraging our employees to use trains as the preferred mode of travel.
