About us 1

Via ID’s mission

To develop new activities and new services for sustainable mobility, in the medium and long term, and thus feed Mobivia’s strategy of growth, diversification, automotive transformation and sustainable development.

Via ID’s commitment to impact

In all its initiatives, Via ID aims to contribute to the development of sustainable and accessible mobility for all, in line with Mobivia’s purpose: “Opening Sustainable Mobility to all.”

To achieve this mission, Via ID is committed to contributing to carbon neutrality by 2050 by reducing its CO2 emissions—and those of its portfolio—by 30% by 2030 (compared to 2019).

Beyond reducing greenhouse gas emissions, Via ID also seeks to generate positive impacts. This is why the avoided emissions of portfolio companies are calculated each year using Carbone 4’s Net Zero Initiative methodology.

To address these sustainable mobility challenges, our investment thesis also includes themes such as the circular economy, enabling us to invest in and support startups in our ecosystem as they integrate these critical topics.

This strategy aligns with the international framework of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with a focus on four priority SDGs:

Reduced inequalities Good health Responsible consumption Climate action
