Ayvens says it does not have a real transition plan to date. Nevertheless, the group has set up an initiative called "PowerUp 2026" aimed at reducing its emissions, presented on its website, but not very detailed in its DEU 2024. This plan was not taken into account in the evaluation of Module 1 "Objectives", due to the lack of precision of the data provided: lack of clear distinction between the three scopes of emissions and failure to take into account the key items of scope 3. On the other hand, "PowerUp 2026" has been integrated into the analysis of the other modules, in particular those relating to customer governance and strategy.
In addition, the publicly available information provided by Ayvens remains partial and limited. No indication is given of the company's future actions, whether in terms of planned investments, R&D initiatives or the evolution of the business model. In addition, quantitative data on the performance of the overall fleet remains insufficient, making it difficult to accurately assess its performance. Finally, the company does not offer any measurement or quantification of the impacts of the actions already implemented, thus limiting the relevance of its strategy.

Narrative Score
Business model and strategy: Ayvens demonstrates a clear and consistent desire to align with climate objectives, through relevant strategic axes: portfolio electrification, green financing, customer co-construction and skills development. However, to be fully aligned with a credible climate trajectory, measurable indicators, time-bound targets and transparency on the current situation are missing at this stage.
Consistency and credibility: A major inconsistency persists between the stated ambition to become a leader in sustainable mobility and the lack of clear objectives and a defined decarbonization trajectory. In addition, the company does not currently have a governance dedicated to steering this strategy, which limits the credibility and effectiveness of its approach.
Data quality: The public information provided by Ayvens remains very limited. Historical data is not restated to properly reflect the evolution of the company, and the scope taken into account for scope 3 emissions remains incomplete in the definition of its climate objectives. In addition, the lack of data on the progress of the electrification of the fleet and on the effectiveness of the measures implemented limits transparency and the evaluation of its low-carbon trajectory.
Reputation: Ayvens participates in campaigns demonstrating its support for low-carbon transition objectives. The company is not involved in any environmental controversy.
Risks: The main risks, namely price pressure in the resale process, price variability for all transmission types and declining vehicle demand among business customers due to changing regulations, are well identified.

Trend score
Ayvens joined the SBT initiative in December 2023 and is therefore expected to set short-, medium- and long-term reduction targets across all emission perimeters compatible with the Paris Agreement. Work is underway to chart the course of this trajectory by 2050.
However, although Ayvens has a certain power of influence over its customers, it has no control over the demand it faces, nor the behaviors of its users. The demand for electric vehicles remains largely conditioned by public support policies, the degree of electrification of territories and the level of energy prices. In addition, the company's governance is not structured to effectively steer an ambitious climate strategy, with the strategic committee in charge of its topics having been abolished at the end of 2024.
The company is expected to develop a transition plan in 2025, which could result in a higher ACT rating. However, due to the uncertainty surrounding the relevance of the plan that Ayvens will implement, the "+" rating is not assigned. The grade "=" is therefore retained.
