52 Ecology Road traffic and transport in Switzerland During the current reporting period, we replaced one truck and our vans with new vehicles. This means that, with respect to exhaust emission standards, our entire transport fleet is entirely compliant, but we are still using fossil fuels. Presently, there are no vehicles with CO2-neutral energy sources on the market that can cover our transport needs in an economically justifiable way. For our regular works transport between the Endingen and Bützberg sites, we will examine in 2023 together with our haulage company whether the use of an electric truck is possible and economically justifiable. The decrease in fuel consumption in 2020 during the Covid pandemic, due to restricted travel, was unfortunately not sustainable. Fuel consumption in 2021 and 2022 has stabilised at pre-pandemic levels again. During 2022 we conducted a survey among our employees regarding e-mobility. This showed that our current charging infrastructure is sufficient in both Bützberg and Endingen. However, according to the analysis of this survey, the demand for charging facilities will increase from 2024. We have taken this into account in our investment planning for the coming reporting period. Transport in other markets Outside Switzerland, our products are delivered by specialist furniture removal companies. We intend to retain this system for the time being.
