We are committing to achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2040 by joining The Climate Pledge, which is co-founded by Amazon and Global Optimism. This announcement builds on our sustainability commitments and certification of global carbon neutral status.

As part of the initiative, we will be regularly measuring and reporting our greenhouse gas emissions as well as implementing a range of decarbonisation strategies. Signatories also commit to neutralising any remaining emissions with offsets to achieve net zero annual carbon emissions by 2040 — a decade earlier than specified by the Paris Agreement.

Across our global operations, our rider surveys revealed that around 45% of journeys made on Neuron e-scooters have directly replaced trips that would otherwise have been made in a car. Since launching in 2016, an estimated 1,500 tonnes of CO2 have been saved from entering the atmosphere.

Our distinctive orange e-scooters are designed and purpose-built for safe and sustainable operations, this includes the world’s first battery swappable e-scooter, introduced in 2018. Their modular design allows them to be upgraded and refurbished throughout their life and last 2-5 times longer than many other e-scooters. At the end of their operational life the parts are reclaimed and recycled.
