TRANSPORTS - ADMINISTRATIVE TRAVELS Our travel in
creases pollution and contributes to a negative climate impact. Our travel policy applies to all travel made in the service within the I.A. Hedin Bil Group. Cost-conscious and efficient travel is a necessity and proof that the business works actively to reduce costs and burden on the environment. GOAL Reduce our climate impact ton of CO2-eq from business travel compared with the previous year. RESULTS • Our total climate impact from business trips incl. company cars (customer test drives) reported in kg CO2-eq / m2 decreased by 11.3%. • Our total climate impact from business trips incl. test runs amounted to 1,737.6 ton of CO2-eq, which is a decrease of 6.6%. • Climate impact kg CO2-eq / m2: • Air travel decreased by 88.1% • Company Cars / Business trips by car increased by 4.3% • Trains decreased by 73.4% • The average fuel consumption per mile for company cars decreased by 13.9%. ANALYSIS Our travel policy states the principles that apply when choosing means of transport for business trips. Company cars are mainly used by customers for test drives and for a small proportion of business trips. Test driving of cars is a crucial part of our business and the opportunity to influence energy use is linked to the type of car, driving style and fuel, which is governed by customers 'needs and our car manufacturers' requirements for us as dealers of their respective car brand. Our business trips in 2020 have mainly taken place by car and plane, as well as a small proportion of train travel. The year was dominated by the pandemic. This has in many ways contributed to a significant reduction in our business trips by air, especially during the period from the fourth quarter when the majority of business trips by air largely ceased altogether with a few exceptions. The fact that the climate impact from business trips by car / test drive increased compared with the previous year, despite reduced fuel consumption per mile by 13.9%, is partly due to the average number of business miles increasing by 8.5% and partly because the proportion of petrol-powered vehicles continues to increase in relation to the diesel-powered alternatives . The distribution of purchased petrol was 58.3% (55.7%) against 41.7% (44.3%) diesel. In parentheses, the distribution is stated in 2019. The explanation for the increased climate impact is that the diesel engine has a higher efficiency and about 25% lower greenhouse gas emissions compared to a petrol car. Furthermore, diesel has a significantly higher share of renewable content (approx. 20%) compared with petrol, which only has a green share of approx. 5%.
