As of July 1, 2024, the WPM, work-related personal mobility applies

As of July 1, 2024, the WPM, work-related personal mobility applies

Starting July 1, 2024, companies with 100 or more employees are required to report on their employees’ commuting and business mobility. The required data for 2024 must be submitted no later than June 30, 2025. This is the reporting requirement for work-related personal mobility (WPM).

This regulation stems from the Climate Agreement, which aims to achieve a significant reduction in CO2 emissions by 2030. The previous WPM guide was based solely on the possibility of recording kilometers traveled. In some cases, however, it is difficult for employers to track kilometers in their records, and it is also difficult to record them—for example, when drivers change frequently.

Under the new CSRD regulations, there is an option to report either the number of liters of fuel used or the number of kilometers driven.

After this matter was brought before the government, the option to report fuel consumption in liters was added. The calculation method used for the work-related personal mobility reporting requirement is now based on the same principles that apply under the CSRD. This also ensures greater uniformity.

In the updated guide for employers, you will find:

  • Appendix 3 contains a conversion table that can be used to convert the recorded liters of gasoline or kilowatt-hours (kWh) into the required annual kilometers.
  • See Appendix 6 for the link to the CSRD reporting requirement
  • Download the RVO guide

Feedback

Employers receive feedback once the data has been submitted. This feedback provides insight into the company’s CO2 emissions and also includes tips and references to relevant information on making work-related mobility more sustainable.

Emissions Cap

Based on the data employers submit annually, the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management assesses whether the reduction target agreed upon in the Climate Agreement (1 Mton by 2030) will be met. Initially, an emissions limit (standard) was proposed. This standard was linked to a maximum CO2 emission per passenger-kilometer for business mobility. Following discussions with industry organizations, however, a collective cap was ultimately chosen, without a mandatory individual standard.
