TÜV Rheinland certifies GreenPlan
09 February 2009
TÜV Rheinland has officially certified LeasePlan’s GreenPlan initiative. LeasePlan is the
first international fleet and vehicle management company to obtain this important certification
for its sustainability initiative. GreenPlan was globally introduced in 2007 and supports
LeasePlan’s clients in their environmental engagement to reduce CO2 emissions from their car
fleet.

Vahid Daemi, LeasePlan’s Chief Executive Officer: “GreenPlan has been positively received by
our clients. With the increasing awareness of environmental issues, company car drivers tend to
change their behaviour in the way they select their car and in the way they drive. With
GreenPlan we provide advice and practical tools to facilitate both drivers and fleet managers
in acting upon the social responsibility we all have.”
Consolidated CO2 monitoring and reduction
LeasePlan recognises global warming as a universal issue. The global initiative GreenPlan
aims at structurally reducing CO2 emissions through strategic car policy measures. It includes
tools like FleetReporting, LeasePlan’s online reporting tool that measures, monitors and tracks
CO2 emissions of the individual vehicles in a company fleet. In addition, the consistent
approach enables fleet-wide consolidation on a local and global scale. This makes
GreenPlan an ideal solution for companies with an (inter)national sustainability approach.

TÜV Rheinland’s mission and guiding principle is to achieve sustained development of safety
and quality in order to meet the challenges arising from the interaction between man,
technology and the environment.
Based on national and international accreditation, TÜV Rheinland offers independent third
party inspection in all Business Streams: Industrial Services, Mobility, Products, Life Care,
Education/Consulting and Systems. With respect to global warming TÜV Rheinland offers e.g. the
validation/verification of the project based mechanisms of the Kyoto Protocol, the verification
of annual CO2 emission reports of installations covered by the European Emission Trading Scheme
(EU-ETS) and the certification of carbon footprints.
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Günter Schock of the TÜV Competence Center Climate Change: “TÜV Rheinland has
assessed LeasePlan’s GreenPlan initiative and certified it based on its completeness,
consistency, transparency, accuracy, materiality and faithfulness. Country specific results
will be continuously monitored by LeasePlan and verified by TÜV Rheinland.”
