EXECUTIVE INSIGHT
Q . WHAT SPECIFIC INITIATIVES OR INNOVATIONS HAS UBER FOR BUSINESS UK IMPLEMENTED TO SUPPORT CORPORATE CLIENTS IN REDUCING THEIR CARBON FOOTPRINT THROUGH TRANSPORTATION CHOICES ?

» In addition to providing the option of EVs on our platform , for Uber for Business specifically , the biggest thing that we ’ ve done is develop the sustainability insights dashboard . It launched at the end of 2022 and helps bridge the gap between offering transparency and visibility into some of our clients ’ carbon footprint and enabling them to make meaningful reductions based on that data .

There ’ s a sustainability insights tab that allows travel managers and sustainability managers – who we find using it the most – to track CO2 emissions for every trip at whatever level they prefer . That then helps provide clear , actionable insights , whether that ’ s for reporting or steering the business and meeting internal sustainability goals while keeping costs low at the same time .
We do this because we know proper ESG reporting can be incredibly resource intensive . This is just one way to centralise ground transportation reporting . We ’ ve already had tens of thousands of organisations starting to use this since it launched .
