Porsche Impact

Porsche Impact is a solution that enables you to offset your CO2 emissions from driving your vehicle by directly funding certified projects.

Sustainability is a central business objective of Porsche. With this in mind we are aiming to reduce the CO2 produced across the entire value chain. Our scope of activities include; harvesting green energy from wind, water, and solar sources at all sites and a carbon neutral rail logistics system. With the launch of Porsche Impact, we are now also offsetting the CO2 emissions caused by the vehicles of the Porsche AG internal fleet.

To discover how you can make a difference and to join the Porsche Impact initiative watch the film above and explore this page for further information on the programme.

The Context

Zimbabwe has been torn apart by war, civil unrest, economic collapse and population growth. In recent decades, desperate communities have delved deeper into the forests, clearing for subsistence farming and fuelwood. As a result, more than a third of Zimbabwe’s majestic forests are now gone.

The Project

Spanning nearly 785,000 hectares on the southern shores of Lake Kariba near Zimbabwe’s Zambian border, the Kariba REDD+ Project connects four national parks and eight safari reserves. This giant biodiversity corridor protects an expansive forest and numerous vulnerable and endangered species – including the African elephant, lion and southern ground hornbill.

The Benefit

Beyond environmental protection, Kariba REDD+ supports a range of initiatives that promote community independence and wellbeing. Better clinic amenities improve healthcare, new roads and boreholes ameliorate daily life, and school subsidies are offered to the poorest quartile of the population. The project also promotes jobs, facilitating sustainable incomes that benefit the entire region.

The Context

Sundrenched Mexico is both a holiday destination and an economic powerhouse – yet despite its abundant UV rays, the Mexican energy mix remains dominated by oil and gas. Increasing Mexico’s share of renewables, particularly solar power, is key to ensuring its continued and sustainable economic prosperity.

The Project

Located in the Baja California Sur capital of La Paz, the Aura Solar I project generates 82,000 MWh of emissions-free solar electricity every year. One of the first and largest photovoltaic projects in Latin America, it’s a key driver of Mexico’s much-needed clean energy transition and is part of the wider ‘Iniciativa Aura Solar’ – an initiative that capitalises on the country’s huge solar potential.

The Benefits

By displacing fossil fuel-generated energy with clean electricity, Aura Solar I significantly reduces emissions and helps to mitigate the environmental risks of exposing the delicate Gulf of California ecosystem to hydrocarbons. The solar farm also benefits communities by creating job opportunities for which local employees receive technical training.

The Context

Coal-fired power stations are a major source of electricity in Vietnam, leading to high emissions and poor air quality in the areas surrounding these energy plants. To combat this and meet growing energy demands sustainably, the Vietnamese Government plans to increase access to clean electricity, such as hydropower.

The Project

On the banks of the A Vuong River in Central Vietnam’s Quang Nam province, the Za Hung Hydropower station has a total installed capacity of 30 MW. The plant features two turbines that harness the power of running water to rotate endlessly, generating enough renewable electricity each year to power almost 20,000 local homes.

The Benefits

Clean hydroelectricity displaces fossil fuel-generated energy to reduce emissions, but that’s not all – local communities also enjoy better grid connection, improved infrastructure, and cleaner air. In addition, the project supports regional sustainable development by creating jobs and funding the construction of roads and houses, while a grant fund donates to households affected by severe floods.

The Context

Afognak, the second-largest island on the Kodiak Archipelago off Alaska’s southern coast, is home to wildlife such as the huge Kodiak brown bear and many fish, including rainbow trout, Arctic char, and five species of Pacific salmon. However, evidence of a pervasive timber industry scars Afognak, marring its otherwise pristine wilderness landscape.

The Project

The Afognak Forest Carbon project comprises 8,219 acres of low elevation, coastal temperate rainforests. The project sequesters carbon by protecting these forests in perpetuity, which were previously managed for timber production and subject to clear-cut logging. 15% of productive land in the area, subjected to clear-cut logging since the 1980s, and was left to regenerate naturally, with little success. The remaining unlogged areas are covered by native, old-growth 200-year-old Sitka Spruce forests, lakes, wetlands and small streams.

The Benefits

The Afognak Forest Carbon project enhances biodiversity, water, and all attributes of the local environment by protecting the existing forest as an intact, fully-functioning ecosystem. Project management has low impact, focussing on salvage, restoration and preventative management on small areas annually. Moreover, while the project has a 30-year crediting period, its ancient forests will be protected forever.

Emissions Estimator

In order to estimate your vehicle's CO2 emission, please select your vehicle model and state your estimated mileage. Using the information you provide on your vehicle and the selected project, Porsche estimates the emitted tons of CO2 and the respective offset value.

Sustainability is an important topic for Porsche and a central topic in the Porsche Strategy 2025. Porsche is inventing and implementing measures across the entire value chain for avoiding and reducing CO2 emissions. However, we are not just looking at future developments, we are also looking at how we can impact the Porsche vehicles that are already on the road today. Over 70 percent of all Porsche vehicles ever built are still on the road today. With Porsche Impact we give our current drivers the opportunity to offset the CO2 emissions via direct funding of certified projects.

FAQ Porsche Impact

Change country:

* Data determined in accordance with the measurement method required by law. Since 01 September 2017 certain new cars have been type approved in accordance with the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP), a more realistic test procedure to measure fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions. From 01 September 2018 the WLTP will replace the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC). Due to the more realistic test conditions, the fuel consumption and CO₂ emission values determined in accordance with the WLTP will, in many cases, be higher than those determined in accordance with the NEDC. This may lead to corresponding changes in vehicle taxation from 01 September 2018. You can find more information on the difference between WLTP and NEDC at www.porsche.com/wltp.

Currently, we are still obliged to provide the NEDC values, irrespective of the testing method used. The additional reporting of the WLTP values is voluntary until their obligatory use. As far as new cars, (which are type approved in accordance with the WLTP) are concerned, the NEDC values will therefore be derived from the WLTP values during the transition period. To the extent that NEDC values are given as ranges, these do not relate to a single, individual car and do not constitute part of the offer. They are intended solely as a means of comparing different types of vehicle. Extra features and accessories (attachments, tyre formats etc.) can change relevant vehicle parameters such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics. Additionally, weather and traffic conditions, as well as individual handling, can affect the fuel consumption, electricity consumption, CO₂ emissions and performance values of a car.
