Other countries are to follow shortly. So far, the offer has been well received: Since its inception, a large number of companies have joined the initiative as partners \u2013 including more than 600 e-commerce partners and eleven mobility providers. The team is currently mainly working on supplementing stationary offers. In Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg in Germany, the first partnerships have been concluded in the fields of gastronomy and retail.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;With our platform, we strive to contribute to the change in mobility. We put the customer at the centre of our activities and create lucrative incentives for sustainable mobility&#8221;, explains Eugen Letkemann, Chief Executive Officer of &#8220;&amp;Charge&#8221;. &#8220;The key to this is that we can offer our users a broad portfolio of services \u2013 both in terms of collecting and redeeming kilometers&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&amp;Charge&#8221; has been a climate-neutral company since its foundation. The start-up not only avoids, reduces and compensates the CO2 emissions of its own business activities, but also those of its users. Customers can use their collected &#8220;kilometers&#8221; to support certified climate protection projects. To this end, &#8220;&amp;Charge&#8221; works together with project developer and climate solutions provider &#8220;South Pole&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>About Porsche Digital<br \/>Porsche Digital is the technological and digital forge of the Zuffenhausen-based sports car manufacturer.
