Sustainability

Our products and organization.

Pon prioritizes sustainability.

As a family-run business, social responsibility is embedded in our DNA. We reduce our CO2 emissions where possible, and compensate for any remaining emissions. Our CSR strategy is built on three pillars: People, Planet, and Progress. Each of our business clusters implements this strategy in its own specific way.

Sustainability also means bringing numerous sustainable solutions to the market: from electric and hybrid cars and commercial vehicles to e-bikes .

Automotive

Focused on sustainable mobility.

Pon is committed to the transition toward sustainable mobility. In Europe, we accelerate zero-emission transport with MAN’s electric trucks and buses, with over 300 vehicles already delivered or on order. In the US, our indiGO Auto Group operates 30 luxury dealerships where operational emissions were cut by 80% through solar installations, clean energy, and Renewable Energy Certificates. Furthermore, drivers of our electric luxury models in North America enjoy seamless travel with access to over 23,500 superchargers.

Bikes

Make the world a better place, start with a bike.

Many European and American cities are realizing that bicycles can alleviate congestion and pollution. Cycling is also healthy and enjoyable, making it an ideal mode of transport for short urban commutes. Brands like Gazelle, Cannondale, FOCUS, Santa Cruz, Urban Arrow, Kalkhoff, Caloi, Schwinn and Veloretti are at the forefront of e-bike innovations for all ages, both for city commutes and leisure. Over 54% of all bicycles we sell through independent dealers are now electric. Furthermore, by using green energy during production, our aluminum bicycle frames for brands such as Gazelle and Cannondale emit 70% less CO₂.
