Our 2025 sustainability report
We're proud to present our 2025 Sustainability Report. These results show exactly how we’re showing up for the future of the cities we serve.
True progress relies on the connections we share with our driver partners, fleet partners and multi-mobility partners. Together, we're leading the shift toward a socially inclusive, electrified and more sustainable industry.

Our 5 core pillars

After a rigorous assessment, we've focused our strategy on the five areas where we can make the most impact:
- Climate change mitigation: we're driving a large-scale shift toward electrification to hit our validated science-based targets.
- Safety for driver partners and riders: building a foundation of trust through better operational processes and in-app safety tech.
- Driver earnings: ensuring those who move our cities earn fairly and more sustainably through loyalty rewards and extra earnings streams.
- Data privacy: maintaining a framework that handles information with transparency and absolute care.
- Information security: maintaining global ISO standards to keep information secure.

Environment

That's why we aim to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions and help fight congestion in cities so people can get where they want in life while taking care of the environment. How?
- We support and incentivise our drivers to switch to electric taxis and private-hire vehicles through exclusive incentives and partnerships. More info here.
- We team up with electric shared vehicle providers: eScooters, eBikes, eMopeds, public transport and shared cars.
- We use data to help authorities make better decisions. For example, suggesting the best places for electric charging stations.
- We track our greenhouse gas emissions and work on reducing them in line with our science-based near-term targets approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
