At Arval, we want all employees to be part of our sustainability journey.
That is why we ensure that our ambition is backed up by comprehensive training programmes, in-depth dialogue and inspirational initiatives.
In 2022, France, UK, Italy, Spain, Norway, and Columbia have launched the unique house made training called « CSR & ESG Awareness » to spread Sustainability topic everywhere in the company.
In Q1 2023, the remaining 23 countries will deploy the training to all their employees with an objective: 100% of Arval employees worldwide trained on climate change and sustainability at Arval.

CLIMATE FRESK – FOSTERING A SUSTAINABLE CULTURE, IN-HOUSE
To drive a business more responsibly, building on a robust sustainability culture is preferable. Understanding the depth of the global climate issue is absolutely vital to take action and build solutions.
At Arval, we engage our employees via internal but also external training and workshops such as Climate Fresk. Climate Fresk is one of the most powerful tool for providing quality and accessible climate education, making this knowledge rapidly scalable within an organisation or community. In 2022, our entire sustainability community attended a global Climate Fresk session, and more than 100 employees have been trained thanks to the commitment of all local sustainability teams.

ARVAL 1 ELECTRIFIED VEHICLE = 1 TREE BIODIVERSITY INITIATIVE
Arval has expanded its first international biodiversity project launched in 8 Arval Countries in 2021 to all remaining countries in 2022. The idea is simple. one tree is planted for each electrified (electric and hybrid) vehicle leased by Arval. Local projects have been identified in 17 countries, while the remaining countries contribute to a global project in Peru. The objective is to promote local biodiversity while engaging Arval employees and customers.
Our goal? To finance more than 700,000 planted trees by the end of 2025, in line with our Arval Beyond strategy.
Since 2021, Arval has already financed 209,483 trees in 50 forests around the world with the support of ReforestAction, which oversees and plants the trees.
