We have set up our sustainability and governance structure to comply with Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). The ultimate responsibility for sustainability within the company lies with our Chief Executive Officer. He ensures that sustainability is seamlessly integrated across all relevant business areas and decision-making processes, setting the tone for our long-term vision.
To provide strategic oversight, a cross-functional Sustainability Committee has been established. This committee includes key executives: the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), the Chief Financial Officer (CFO), the Chief People Officer (CPO), the SVP Supply Chain and the SVP Legal. The committee convenes regularly to review sustainability objectives, monitor progress and steer the company’s Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) agenda.
Supporting the committee, we have a dedicated Sustainability Management function, which is responsible for the operational implementation of our sustainability strategy. Additionally, a cross-departmental Sustainability Team supports data collection, reporting activities and the execution of ESG-related initiatives across the organisation.
We take a holistic approach to managing sustainability-related risks and opportunities, integrating them into our broader Risk Management system. ESG aspects are considered systematically at the strategic and operational levels, ensuring that sustainability is woven into every decision we make.
We regularly review and update our governance structure to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements – specifically the CSRD and European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). This process supports the continuous enhancement of our sustainability performance and ensures that we remain accountable to our stakeholders.
Sustainability
Driving progress through
responsibility
AUTODOC’s approach to sustainability is grounded in responsible action, close collaboration and a focus on real-world impact. By enabling smarter repair and maintenance decisions, we contribute to extending vehicle lifecycles and supporting a more resource-conscious automotive aftermarket.
Together with our partners, we work to reduce environmental impact, improve transparency and create lasting value for customers and society. Our ambition is to drive measurable progress while continuously evolving the way mobility is maintained and sustained.
Our sustainability philosophy
At AUTODOC, we strive to integrate sustainability into our business. By helping people extend the life of their vehicles with easy access to automotive parts, services, repair guides and sophisticated digital tools, we support a circular economy from the ground up.
This mindset shapes how we innovate, grow and collaborate every day. As a tech-powered leader in the European automotive aftermarket, we believe that enabling smarter, more responsible mobility choices is essential to creating a sustainable future for everyone.
For us, sustainability is both an exciting opportunity and a shared responsibility. It’s about integrating environmental thinking into everything we do, empowering our customers to make informed decisions and partnering with the industry to improve efficiency, transparency and drive meaningful change.
Innovation and sustainability go hand-in-hand. As we shape the future of the European automotive aftermarket, we believe the smartest solutions are also the most responsible ones.
Driving circularity in the automotive aftermarket
Circularity is our starting point. By empowering vehicle repairs, upgrades and smarter maintenance, we naturally drive a more resource-efficient mobility system. Extending the life of vehicles isn’t just part of AUTODOC’s business, it’s how we create lasting value for our customers and our environment. With access to spare parts, remanufactured products and tech-driven services, we’re actively contributing to reshape the automotive ecosystem toward a more circular and sustainable future for everyone.
Our sustainability goals
We’ve defined a set of goals to guide our next steps. These goals focus on areas where we can grow our positive impact, strengthen how we operate and work together with customers and partners to build a more responsible future.
The goals are shaped by the topics that matter most to our business and stakeholders, guided by a comprehensive double materiality assessment completed in February 2025 to ensure we address both our impact on the environment and the external factors that influence us.
In 2025, we completed our ESRS-aligned double materiality assessment, built on engagement with our stakeholders, including employees, customers, investors and suppliers. This process helped us identify the most material sustainability topics from both a financial and impact perspective and where we can make the greatest difference. Based on this assessment, we defined our key sustainability goals, which guide our actions, shape our KPIs and influence how we grow. In line with regulatory requirements, we published our first report under the German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSG) in 2025.
And this is just the beginning. While we are not yet publishing a formal sustainability report, our sustainability goals and KPIs will serve as the foundation for the measurable actions and initiatives that will guide our efforts and support meaningful change in the future.
Our top goals
AUTODOC’s sustainability efforts are focused on the areas where we can have the greatest impact – both within our operations and across the entire value chain. These four focus areas reflect our top sustainability goals, shaping how we innovate, grow and collaborate to drive a more sustainable automotive aftermarket.
Climate action across the value chain

We are committed to lowering greenhouse gas emissions throughout the AUTODOC value chain from supply chain and logistics to warehousing and digital operations.
Inclusive & fair workplace culture
TOP GOAL: Cultivate a diverse and inclusive workplace where all employees are treated fairly.
We foster a workplace where everyone feels valued and respected. Diversity and inclusion are embedded in our company culture, ensuring that all employees are treated fairly and supported to grow.
Smart waste & packaging solutions

We actively work to minimise our environmental footprint by optimising packaging, reducing material waste and improving resource efficiency across our operations.
Product integrity & customer trust
TOP GOAL: Maintain customer trust and integrity, ensure product safety by meeting consistent quality and compliance standards.
We hold ourselves to the highest standards of product quality, safety and compliance – because trust is essential to everything we do. From sourcing to service, we prioritise integrity and customer confidence.
