Driving a greener future

In 2017, we were the first in the industry to automatically offset all our rides, no opt-in or extra charge required. Now we’re working with South Pole to offset our emissions dating back to Blacklane’s founding in 2011 – and for the years to come.

No one likes greenwashing. To make sure we — and you — have a clear view on what we’ve achieved and what we can develop further, we’re partnering with Cooper Parry to offer third-party verification of our carbon footprint and offset program and fill in any gaps.

We signed The Climate Pledge, an agreement to reach net-zero carbon by 2040, 10 years earlier than the goal of The Paris Agreement. This will mean that instead of offsetting our carbon emissions, we won’t emit any at all.

There are so many ways to do good for the planet that are quick and easy, and still make a lasting long-term impact. With Time for Climate Action, we promote small steps that our customers and crew can take, for example:

• In 2 minutes, you can ask your political representatives to take climate action in government.
• In 5 minutes, you can switch your household to green energy, saving not just CO2 emissions, but money too.

Blacklane is proud to be a founding member of the World Alliance for Efficient Solutions, a network of companies with economically and environmentally sustainable offerings.

Being a part of the transportation industry means that our crew feels even more compelled to participate in direct action to demand changes from our governing bodies, and fight for what is right, together. That’s why many of our crew members have used their Blacklane Cares community days to come together as a team and participate in the yearly global climate strikes.
