Motoring our Brazilian fleet with biofuels

03 Nov 2025

Around the world, our efforts to transition to low-emissions vehicles have resulted in some highly impactful projects.

In Brazil, we have replaced the fuel used for our corporate fleet of 145 vehicles to renewable biofuels. Around 90% of fuel consumption now comes from ethanol derived from ethically farmed sugarcane, which – as well as producing fewer emissions – supports the country’s agricultural sector and drives social and economic growth.

Having started in mid-2024, the initiative has been implemented across all our sites in Brazil, leading to a reduction of around 600 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent year-on-year. To ensure continuity and data traceability moving forward, we have also implemented procedures to monitor and control the fuel supply.

Initiatives like this play an essential part in our goal of reducing scope 1 emissions across the business, as outlined in our global Climate Transition Plan. Outside Brazil, we have incorporated low-emissions vehicles into our operations in Germany, Mexico, the Netherlands, the UK and the USA.
