PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) Belgium has placed an order with the BMW Group Belux for 723 full electric vehicles. With this order, PwC will add 300 new Mini Aceman models to its fleet, along with 423 BMW iX1 eDrive20 models. This brings the total composition of PwC Belgium’s fleet to 90% electric and/or hybrid vehicles, of which 40% are fully electric.
PwC, the world’s second-largest professional services network, employing 364,000 people in 137 countries, intends to become climate-neutral by 2030. To accelerate this transition, the company continues to invest heavily in electrifying its fleet and expanding its charging infrastructure.
“Our ambition to be carbon neutral by 2030 guides all our decisions,” says Boone. “The electrification of our fleet is an important step in reducing our emissions, and we are committed to making this transition as smooth as possible for our employees.”
Sustainable strategy
The company will add 270 new charging stations to the office, “removing a significant barrier to electric driving and ensuring safe, sustainable and practical commuting,” explains Patrick Boone, CEO of PwC Belgium. This installation brings the total to 475 charging stations in all PwC Belgium offices, making charging at work easier.
Both the expansion of the electric fleet and that of the charging infrastructure align with the group’s broader sustainability strategy, which also invests in energy efficiency at its breweries and in renewable energy.
‘Partnership’
BMW and PwC Belgium share a common vision on sustainable mobility. “By switching to a fully electric fleet by 2028, we are confirming our environmental responsibility and actively reducing our ecological footprint,” PwC says.
“This partnership enables us to provide ongoing, personalized support and a comprehensive range of services, from flexible financing options to reliable roadside assistance and a dedicated after-sales service,” adds Alexander Wehr, CEO of BMW Group Belux.
Mobility budget
In addition to company cars, since 2023, employees can also opt for the statutory ‘mobility budget’, which offers a wide range of options, including bicycle rentals, public transport, and mortgage repayments. Approximately 23% of PwC Belgium employees opt for a smaller car, while 12% forgo a company car altogether, reflecting a growing preference for sustainable mobility choices.
“In 2024, the BMW Group sold more than 2.45 million cars and over 210,000 motorcycles worldwide. Sustainability is a key component of the BMW Group’s corporate strategy, from the supply chain and production to the end of the life cycle of all products,” BMW commented.
