LKQ Corporation Releases its 2021 Sustainability Report

 
 

LKQ Corporation has long been a leader in environmental services and sustainability — in fact, it’s the foundation upon which LKQ was built. Today, LKQ is the world’s largest recycler of vehicles and the world’s largest alternative and aftermarket parts and services provider for vehicles.

With the publication of LKQ Corporation's Sustainability Report 2021, LKQ Europe takes the opportunity to highlight its progress in driving sustainability towards becoming a net-zero emissions company by 2050.

At LKQ Europe, our sustainability approach is based on the three pillars planet, people, and communities. As the leading distributor of automotive aftermarket parts in Europe with a state-of-the-art distribution network our main focus is set on emission reduction,” says Arnd Franz, CEO of LKQ Europe. “We are developing sustainable business solutions in all areas and regions.”

LKQ Europe’s route towards zero emissions includes behavioral change such as driver training, lower emission vehicles, use of alternative fuels, and initiatives in its buildings, branches, and products. The company engages with its suppliers to identify the CO2 footprint of products and investigates future solutions for traction battery handling to be first-to-market in electrification.

LKQ Europe contributes to a sustainable society, by applying circular economy principles, including repair, remanufacturing, and recycling of car parts, saving valuable resources.
