Wallbox Aims for Net Zero Greenhouse Gas Emissions by 2030

Wallbox, a leading provider of electric vehicle charging and energy management solutions, has set an ambitious goal to achieve Net Zero greenhouse gas emissions across its global footprint by 2030. This announcement comes on the heels of the company's first sustainability report since listing on the New York Stock Exchange. The company's CEO, Enric Asunció, emphasized the importance of sustainability in Wallbox's mission and the need for companies to lead by example in reducing climate change.

• The company has reduced its HQ emissions by 18% in the past year through the installation of solar panels and the use of its proprietary energy management solution, Sirius.
• Wallbox plans to measure and reduce GHG emissions from its internal operations, offices, and facilities, as well as its value chain, in three phases: impact measurement, emissions reductions, and achieving a carbon-free internal footprint.
