OUR SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2023

We're pleased to present our annual Sustainability Report that reflects a comprehensive overview of our progress towards environmental, social and economic sustainability.

PROSPERING ENVIRONMENT

Cities can only thrive if the environment does too. That's why we offer increasingly sustainable mobility so people can get where they want in life while taking care of the environment. As a mobility platform, our major environmental impacts as well as financial risks are connected to climate change. Hence, most actions we are taking to foster a prospering environment are focussed on reducing emissions generated by trips in the cities we operate.


One such action is diversifying our mobility offering by building partnerships with environmentally friendly shared vehicle providers, so passengers can get from A to B on zero or low-emission vehicles like eScooters, eBikes, eMopeds or shared cars. All the while having and expanding the options to book electric taxis and Rides.


We also support our drivers to make the switch to electric cars through exclusive incentives and partnerships with original equipment manufacturers and energy providers.


In addition, we use our data to help authorities make better decisions. For example, suggesting the best places for electric charging stations.


To track how we’re doing at reducing the emissions, we’ve set science-based near-term targets approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). More info here.


Beyond climate change, we also tackle other environmental issues such as e.g. congestion. As the Mobility Super App, we make sure there’s always lots of ways to get around, so that the city is accessible to everyone. That also means fewer privately owned cars on the streets, so less traffic and congestion. Our app also helps ease pressure on urban infrastructures, offering alternative travel options when the system is saturated such as e.g. public transport.

THRIVING SOCIETY

We’re cityholics: we love the city and the people that are in it. We’re in 150+ cities across Europe. London, Berlin, Athens, Dublin… And wherever we are, we want our cities to be diverse, inclusive, more livable and accessible to everyone.

Hence, we invest in inclusive services and products everyone can use. For example, covering as many languages as we can in our app and making taxis and Rides accessible for everyone.

 

Our employees and drivers are the heartbeat of our organisation that enable us to innovate, drive business success and make cities thrive.

 

We’re committed to creating a workplace where everyone is treated equally and feels safe, valued and included. We offer equal pay and opportunities to everyone, fostering a diverse and inclusive work environment. We empower all our employees to thrive at FREENOW.

 

As for our drivers and fleet partners, we offer exclusive benefits and run local initiatives, from loyalty rewards to partnership discounts.

 

Finally, safety is at the core of everything we do. From passengers being able to share their trip's live location, to extensive driver onboarding and a dedicated support team.

RESILIENT GOVERNANCE

Strong governance serves as the cornerstone of our corporate sustainability approach. By upholding the highest ethical corporate governance standards, we build trust and credibility with everyone involved and help keep cities thriving.

 

We are proud of our reputation for conducting business ethically and transparently. This is essential for preserving our culture and our brand.

 

We care about doing the right thing, not only complying with laws and regulations. It's about how we treat everyone: our team, customers, partners, and the communities we're part of.
