We’re a responsible city partner. We make it a priority to invest in social programs and community services that shape cities for everyone, and for the future.
Being sustainable isn’t just the right thing to do for our planet, it also creates an economically viable service that allows us to back local efforts, bring more people into sustainability projects, and build meaningful social impact programs. We know that ultimately, sustainability and inclusion go hand-in-hand.
We work for and with the people who call our cities home. We’re regularly expanding our offering to include more form factors like e-bikes, wheelchair accessible scooters, and cargo bikes. On top of that, we ensure that our fleet availability mirrors that of public transport, so people have multiple sustainable ways to get around. Our fares average €2 and we place an emphasis on connecting suburbs and underserved areas, giving the most people possible access to affordable, sustainable transport.
Elsewhere, our Helping to Help umbrella program supports our employees around volunteer and donation opportunities with on-the-ground organizations like NGOs, schools and local governments. These locally focused initiatives make communities safer, more equitable and more resilient. In France, we gave job-seekers free e-scooter rides to interviews. In the UK, we offered discounts to essential workers, people with disabilities, and students. And during the fuel shortage, we launched unlimited free trips on e-scooter for Londoners.
We’ve been on the path to sustainability for a while now, and we’re proud to join the UNGC and others undertaking the journey. As a member of the UNGC, we hope to collectively lay the foundations for others to follow in sustainable footsteps, reporting our progress and communicating results to the United Nations as we go.
It’s time for business to be a force for good, for good.
