Offering our customers technological excellence, a user-focused approach and business know-how puts us at the leading edge of our industry. But we also understand that achieving our vision of empowering future mobility demands more than this. Every day and in every action we take, we aim to adopt a mindset that ensures our solutions enable safe, smart, sustainable and inclusive mobility. Only by doing so can we lead the data-driven side of the transition and allow our customers to harness the power of data in providing sustainable mobility.
Below, we map out the five key areas of our sustainability efforts. As well as contributing to UN SDGs, our work in these areas is designed to address market trends and customer needs with the aim of empowering sustainable mobility. Details of our internal sustainability initiatives are also provided, offering insights into what WirelessCar does inhouse to maintain our position as a progressive, stable employer and credible business partner.
WirelessCar aims to help our customers achieve their net-zero targets. We do this by boosting the sales of electric vehicles and by supporting fossil-free / load balanced charging. As well as enabling reduced emissions, the data our solutions leverage provides valuable input our customers can use to more accurately evaluate climate impact, risks and opportunities.
We provide services that make the OEMs’ offering more attractive, accelerating the transition from ICE vehicles to EVs.
Our tech supports OEMs, helping them enable seamless, efficient charging for fleet owners and end-users using renewable energy.

For WirelessCar, providing the service behind emergency call functionality is where it all started. A lot has happened in the years since then and today, there is even more focus on safety and achieving zero casualty targets by automotive manufacturers. We are committed to supporting our partners, customers and public safety agencies in their efforts by doing what we believe we’re best at – leveraging data.
The data that car manufacturers share provides invaluable context to those tasked with helping drivers after a collision. We encourage them to share more data with the cloud, the aim being to improve post-collision responses. Together with proactive services such as aiding maintenance and providing service notifications, we believe that our expertise can help get the right assistance to collisions as fast as possible and contribute to the prevention of breakdowns.
Providing the best context from connected car data to get the right help, at the correct location, as quickly as possible.
Providing vehicle status and diagnostics information and notifications with the potential to eliminate unexpected events for drivers and even avoid collisions.
Help OEMs understand how and why these digital services are used to encourage them to apply specific improvements to reduce both the risk of collisions and improve post-collision response.
Much of our customers environmental impact comes from vehicle production. This means that efficiency in terms of resources and waste minimization are vital. Here, our digital services can also make a defining contribution by maximizing life-time profitability and optimizing the durability of both electric and ICE driven vehicles. By innovating digital services in this way, WirelessCar is best positioned to support our customers profitability, adding business value and reducing environmental impact over the vehicle’s lifespan.
Another dimension to the circular economy question is the increasing momentum and frequency of car-sharing and other flexible ownership models. This trend will drive the development of digital business models, as well as having a positive impact on our other focus areas such as Climate and Electrification and Road Safety.
Increase utilization opportunities with the aim of creating alternative revenue through fleet and sharing solutions.
Decrease OEM’s operating costs and emissions while improving durability and residual value of EVs. This will be achieved by –
• Prolonging vehicle lifetime through developing proactive digital that enable more efficient servicing and reduce the likelihood of technical problems.
• Facilitating reselling with vehicle health certificates and data-driven or streamlined product planning.
• Enabling more efficient reuse of parts by providing data on their condition, potential for reuse or recycling and where they can be sent for this to take place.
• Use car data to determine used battery condition to facilitate more sustainable end-of-life treatment.
Ensure vehicles remain attractive and functional throughout their lifecycle by providing updatable digital services.
To ensure we maintain the highest ethical standards across our operations, all employees and suppliers must follow a thorough compliance program. This program covers corruption, human rights, anti-money laundering, whistle-blower reports and other violations of our Code of Conduct. This Code of Conduct is easily accessible internally and externally and is included in vendor contracts. Other initiatives such as a recent mandatory web-based education program in Human Rights also support our efforts in this area.
In terms of staff well-being, it’s our aim to make WirelessCar the workplace of choice for top talents in our industry. To achieve this, we take a proactive approach to health and safety matters, monitor and follow all national and international laws and regulations and ensure that diversity and inclusion are more than boxes that must be ticked.
Employees at WirelessCar enjoy a bi-yearly health check, high wellness contribution, access to competence development tools and equal pay. Together with a weekly pulse tool that assesses status enables continuous improvement and a well-defined harassment management system, we believe we’ve created an internal culture characterised by empowered teams and psychological safety.
WirelessCar is committed to leading by example. We continually carry out strategic work designed to ensure we conduct our business responsibly. This involves evaluating and mitigating sustainability risks, implementing activities to reach our climate and DEI targets as well as conducting a double materiality analysis to assess our impact in other areas and take steps to reduce it.
