Planet For companies with a lot of employees, emissions associated with employee commutes can add up quickly. These emissions fall under the Scope 3 category of the GHG Protocol and any reduction in those emissions can be included in an annual corporate sustainability report. Encouraging employees to give up their ICE vehicles and transition to EVs can make a serious difference in reducing the amount of Scope 3 emissions your company must re- port, and offering EV charging at the workplace can be one of the best ways to do so. CarMax and Clean Technica discovered that 72% of electric vehicle enthusiasts surveyed would be more likely to buy a plug-in electric vehicle if their employer offered charging stations. And smart charging features like Enel X’s e-mobility emission saving tool (currently available in Italy) can help you to easily quantify the cumulative savings to include in your annual report. Upgrading your workplace with EV infrastructure also aligns with California’s progressive approach to energy efficiency and environmental policy. In September 2020, Governor Gavin Newson signed an executive order requiring all new passenger cars and trucks sold in Cal- ifornia to be emission-free by 2035, and the state has an ambitious goal to install 250,000 electric vehicle charging stations by 2025.
