Preface

Corporate Social Responsibility

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is strongly connected with sustainability principles: economy, society and the environment.

For Q-Park, this Annual CSR Report shows results on financial and operational factors, and our progress regarding the social and environmental impacts of our business.

Q-Park has been reporting annually on sustainability since 2008. We benchmarked ourselves and ensured we were doing the right things in the right way.

We engaged with stakeholders, enhanced the transparency of our governance, and our impact on environmental and social issues.

This year, due to developments regarding the EU Omnibus I directive, we chose not to stop our efforts and remained focused on our core materiality topics, strengthening our data infrastructure. In this report, we present the progress we have made on our focus areas and their material topics.

Focus areas

In our Urban Liveability focus area we have outlined our efforts regarding renewable energy procurement, production and storage, which support Europe's energy transition. This means moving away from fossil fuels to greater use of renewable energy, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Our Sustainable Mobility Solutions focus area demonstrates our ambition to play our part in Europe's mobility transition. With our Mobility Hubs, off-street parking facilities, EV charging points, and sustainable mobility partnerships – such as car sharing/rental providers, public transport, and urban logistics operators – we are an essential part of a sustainable urban mobility infrastructure.

In our Seamless Parking Services focus area we ensure that our parking facilities and digital services function to a high standard. Our physical parking facilities are easy and safe to use, and with our digital services – PaSS platform, pre-booking and the Q-Park App – we provide digital access for partners, businesses and customers, transforming search traffic into destination traffic.
