Q-Park published its Annual CSR Report 2022 today. We report on our social engagement, environmental impact and our contribution to helping achieve the UN SDGs relevant to our business. We report with reference to the GRI 2021 standard to report on our impact on the economy, the environment, and people.
We are pleased to announce that in 2022 we achieved:
- An average carbon footprint per parking space of 45.8 kgCO2 (2021: 93.2 kgCO2), a 74% reduction since we started measuring in 2010.
- 2,831 EV charging points (2020: 2,114 ) installed, an increase of 34%.
- Parking facilities:
- 476 offering online pre-booking, transforming search traffic to destination traffic;
- 286 offering access to major public transport hubs, enabling sustainable mobility choices;
- 109 offering bicycle parking, providing options for active mobility to reach final destinations.
In 2022 we have engaged in more strategic partnerships. Our new partnerships include:
- Public landlords developing off-street parking to reduce on-street parking, thereby opening up space for pedestrians and cyclists.
- Private landlords who repurpose car parks from private to public use, thereby decreasing the need for construction work, and all the inconvenience this causes while increasing the life-span and usage of existing assets.
- Public transport partners who nudge customers to park their car at convenient locations, often at the edge of the city e.g. P+R, and use public transport for part of their journey.
- Partners who support us to develop mobility hubs with fast-charging.
- Logistics partners who use parking facilities as a base for last mile delivery and/or storage services.
