Annual Sustainability Report 2025
Read about our approach to sustainability, the impact our software enables, the actions we're taking to reduce our own emissions, and the people behind it all.
Our purpose
Monta exists to move the energy transition forward: charging infrastructure that gets people and businesses into electric vehicles, and keeps the grid in balance as renewables grow.
Monta builds and operates the infrastructure behind millions of charging sessions across Europe each year. Every one of those sessions replaces a journey that would otherwise have run on petrol or diesel. And because we aggregate charging demand, we help keep the grid in balance as more of Europe's electricity comes from renewables.
That purpose isn't adjacent to our business. It is the business model. We don't manufacture hardware, own charge points, or consume the energy that moves through them — what we build is the coordination layer beneath operator networks. So every point of reliability we add, and every megawatt of flexibility we certify, moves the transition a little further along.
Our approach
Electrification is the route to net-zero road transport, as long as two things hold: vehicle charging shifts to renewable electricity, and vehicle access scales fast enough to keep pace with 1.5°C-aligned adoption. That's where we come in. Our software makes charging accessible and reliable, and shifts demand toward the hours when renewable energy is abundant.
Enabled Impact
What our software enables across Europe's transport system. Every session replaces a petrol or diesel journey. And by pooling charge points into flexible capacity, we help the grid stabilize.
Operational footprint
The emissions our own business creates. Through 2026 we're putting the governance and measurement in place to track it, and then bring it down.
Governance
Our sustainability lead runs this work with the management team, and reports progress to the Board of Directors every quarter. Budget for measurement tooling or outside advice is approved by the CFO.
Stakeholder engagement
Monteers give input through regular surveys. The Board reviews progress quarterly. Customers and suppliers get our emissions data, and we work alongside leading industry bodies.
What our software enables
Our biggest environmental contribution isn't what happens in our offices. It's what our software sets in motion across Europe's transport system: the CO2 avoided every time a driver charges instead of refuelling, the smart charging that moves demand to cleaner hours, and the grid services our aggregated network provides.

In 2025, charging through Monta avoided an estimated 408,499 tonnes of CO2e across 644 GWh of energy delivered and 25.3 million charging sessions. Every session replaces a journey that would otherwise have run on petrol or diesel. Decarbonisation, one charge at a time.
| Year | CO2e avoided | YoY growth | Energy delivered | Sessions |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 18,413 tCO2e | — | 26 GWh | 1.3M |
| 2023 | 56,772 tCO2e | +208% | 83 GWh | 3.9M |
| 2024 | 225,041 tCO2e | +296% | 309 GWh | 13.1M |
| 2025 | 408,499 tCO2e | +82% | 644 GWh | 25.3M |
Grid carbon intensity comes from Electricity Maps, at country level, at the time of each charge. Figures exclude vehicle and battery manufacturing and sit separately from our operational Scope 1, 2 and 3 footprint.
Smart Charging
SmartCharge moves charging to the hours depending on a driver's priority: lower costs, lower CO2, or higher renewable energy. In 2025, around 2.9 million charges — roughly 12% of all successful sessions — were scheduled to better hours, and on about 434,000 of them the plan was weighted toward lower CO2 and more renewable energy.
Grid Services
By pooling charge points into flexible capacity, we take part in ancillary and flexibility markets across Denmark, Sweden and the United Kingdom. We're targeting at least 60 MW by the end of 2028, growing with new operators in the markets we already serve.

Measuring and reducing our own footprint
We haven't completed a Scope 1 and 2 emissions estimate yet. Our first one covers 2026 and will be published in 2027. We expect Scope 1 and 2 to be relatively low, driven mainly by heating our Copenhagen office and our two leased electric company cars.
Lower emissions commuting
Keep 90%+ of commuting to our European offices car-free. Miami to establish a baseline from 2026.
Lower-impact business travel
Set a business travel baseline and an air travel reduction target in 2027.
Extend hardware lifecycle
Keep 100% of returned laptops in use, whether redeployed, lease-extended, or resold.
Efficient vendor and cloud costs
Review our software and cloud portfolio every year to cut waste and improve our cost per charging session.
Sustainable commuting
Over 85% of our team commutes by bike, on foot, or by public transport.
Electric company cars
Leased electric cars in Copenhagen and Berlin.
Company bikes
Company bikes available in Copenhagen.
Public transport benefit
A gross salary benefit for DSB public transport in Denmark.
How we work, and who we build for
Software is built by people. How we treat ours, and the drivers we build for, is part of our impact.
Who we are
Every year we run an anonymous Diversity Matrix survey, so our equity, diversity and inclusion work starts from facts rather than assumptions. The 2025 survey went to 197 Monteers across seven countries; 141 answered.
34%
Identify as women
11%
Identify as LGBTQ+
12%
Are neurodivergent
29%
First-generation university graduates
60%
Aged 25 to 34, with colleagues from under 24 to over 55
30%
Are parents or carers of children
Fair work at Monta
Every Monteer has a written contract, a clear job level, and open salary bands set against objective criteria and applied consistently across locations. We hire through structured, bias-aware interviews, and never ask candidates for their salary history.
Belonging, led by our people
Our employee resource groups are started and run by Monteers. Women@Monta and Parents@Monta are both active, and colleagues also organise as LGBTQ+ allies.
Listening
- Annual anonymous Diversity Matrix survey.
- A dedicated equity, diversity and inclusion feedback route open to all Monteers.
- Our whistleblower system, open to employees, customers, suppliers, partners and the public.
Acting
- Survey findings and Monteer feedback set the priorities in our Equity, Diversity and Inclusion action plan.
- The plan is reviewed at least annually, shared with all Monteers, and available to them at any time.
- Accountability sits with the executive team, coordinated by People & Culture.
Accessibility
Charging has to work for every driver, so we treat accessibility as a product requirement, not a retrofit. Monta Charge, our Whitelabel apps, Monta Hub and our websites are aligned with the European Accessibility Act and built to WCAG 2.2 Level AA. A certified accessibility auditor validated that work.
