About Autorola Group

Autorola Group is a global leader in online remarketing and automotive IT solutions for professional used car and fleet management. Headquartered in Denmark, Autorola operates in 19 countries across Asia-Pacific, Europe, North America and Latin America.

Sustainability focus

With sustainability as a core value, Autorola’s objectives in building a sustainability strategy involved:

1. Aligning global operations with Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) requirements in the European Union, by creating a robust emissions reporting framework.
2. Reducing carbon emissions across Scopes 1, 2 and 3 to support long-term sustainability goals.
3. Engaging stakeholders through transparent reporting and measurable Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) outcomes.

Operating in a sector facing increasing pressure to address climate change, Autorola’s sustainability challenges include:

• Managing complex supply chains across international borders.
• Adapting to rapidly evolving ESG regulations in multiple countries.
• Ensuring consistent, reliable data for emissions reporting.
  

Choosing a carbon accounting partner

With increasing regulatory requirements across multiple jurisdictions, Autorola needed a scalable way to consolidate emissions data so it could establish a unified approach to sustainability reporting.

Autorola Group CFO Peter Bisgaard said an internationally robust emissions engine was crucial in finding a carbon accounting partner to confidently centralise emissions measurement and streamline sustainability reporting.

Results

With all emissions data across 19 countries on the Climate Zero platform, Autorola’s global team can easily view overall data and split it out per location, providing the detail and accuracy needed to report confidently on sustainability. This centralised system has:

• Improved data accuracy and operational efficiency.
• Enhanced compliance with CSRD standards.
• Fostered a culture of sustainability within the organisation.

Looking ahead

Autorola’s story highlights the value of strategic planning, strong leadership and tailored solutions in achieving global sustainability goals.
Looking ahead, the group’s focus will shift to meeting more stringent ESG reporting requirements, refining its sustainability strategy and leveraging Climate Zero for ongoing improvements.
