“If the funding for switching to electromobility is no longer necessary, the transformation of our truck fleet will not remain affordable,” said Robert Nagele, Billa board for real estate and sustainability of the REWE Group Austria, only one example of the effect of funding for climate protection in a double budget. Six of 400 billa trucks are currently driving electrically, and five more would be planned this year.
Rewe is one of three important companies in the “Business Allianz Klima”, a loose network of companies that take the transformation very seriously to a sustainable economy and who opposed the cuts in climate protection on Wednesday. “Climate protection must not be marginalized even in budget cones, it is a central growth factor,” said Michaela Attermeyer, board member of the VBV pre-provision fund, which will accuse EUR 16.4 billion for 3.6 million people in Austria. Instead, she advocated abolishing the tax benefits for fossil fuels and for tax incentives for green investments. “We need sustainable projects that we can finance. If you currently save in climate protection, you will pay twice in the future.”
