Change Drivers: our podcast exploring the key levers of sustainable fleet mobility

Change Drivers is Arval’s podcast series dedicated to the major transformations shaping corporate mobility today. Through expert discussions, the podcast explores how organisations can address environmental, operational and human challenges and turn them into concrete levers for change.

Hosted by Karen Brunot, our Chief Sustainability Officer, each episode brings together Arval experts, customers and partners to share practical insights grounded in real‑world and mobility experience.

Episode #1 –Before the First Mile

The first episode focuses on upstream decarbonisation, before vehicles even hit the road. It explores how design choices, materials, production processes and collaboration across the automotive ecosystem directly influence the carbon footprint of automotive mobility.

Featuring:

• Cléa Martinet, VP Group Sustainability, Renault Group
• Eric Caruso, Sustainability Program Manager, Arval

Featuring:

• Guehanne Beaufaron, Strategic Partnership Manager, EDF
• Dan Boiangiu, Consulting Director, Arval
• With insights from Ingrid Pautrat, Energy Transition Director, Arval

The discussion explores real operational barriers, practical decarbonisation levers, and the importance of aligning sustainability ambitions with business realities.

Episode #3 – On the Road to Safety

Road safety is a fundamental pillar of sustainable mobility. This third episode focuses on understanding what drives road accidents and how organisations can reduce risk.

Featuring:

• Dheeraj Gupta, Head of Insurance and Driver Safety, Arval
• Gerry Martin, CEO, AlertDriving

The episode explores the role of human behaviour, driving patterns, EVs versus ICE vehicles, and how data, telematics and in‑vehicle technologies can support accident prevention while respecting data privacy.
