Uber for Business Launches New Sustainability Tool

Sustainability is only getting more and more important as the world gets “smaller”. In an effort to reduce corporate emissions and tackle climate change, Uber for Business is launching a new sustainability insights feature.

Through this new sustainability feature, Uber will provide corporate clients with a clear picture of their ground travel emissions. Participating organizations can access metrics such as total carbon emissions and the percentage of corporate travel trips taken on low emission alternatives, such as Uber Green, Comfort Electric and Uber Planet. These types of insights can help businesses better comprehend where they stand when it comes to their sustainability efforts and equip them with proper information to help reduce their footprint. 

According to Uber, “We heard from our corporate clients that they wanted to be able to track, report and act on their ground transportation impacts globally. They also wanted insight into the percentage of trips taken on greener modes, in order to help educate employees on how to reduce their carbon impact.”

The sustainability insights now available through the Uber for Business dashboard include:

• Total low-emission trips: Provides visibility into the total number of trips taken using Uber Green, Comfort Electric, and Uber Planet, allowing Uber for Business customers to understand how often employees are opting for a green ride. 
• Low-emission trip percentage: Displays the proportion of low-emission trips to total trips taken by the customer shows the bigger picture, allowing companies to quickly gauge how many trips align with their climate commitments. 
• Total emissions (kilograms CO2): Monitors the total number of carbon emissions emitted by a company across all rides used in a given timeframe with Uber.
• Average grams CO2 emissions per mile: Allows companies to analyze carbon emission performance based on distance traveled. 
• Graph of total emissions by average grams CO2 per mile: Visually observe carbon emissions over time to evaluate how they are progressing toward near and long-term targets.
