Environmentally conscious company

Conscious of the responsibility we have to manage our greenhouse gas emissions, Glovo has embarked on a long-distance journey to fully eliminate them.
To do so, we have started several projects to reduce our carbon footprint, and to offset the remaining CO2 emissions by buying carbon credits. Since December 2021 we are already neutralizing 100% of our carbon footprint across our entire value chain and throughout all our geographies.
Action pillars for carbon reduction

Switching to renewable energy for our buildings
By 2030 all our installations will run at 100% with renewable energy. Our HQ office in Barcelona is already doing so!

Reducing single-use plastic packaging and cutlery
Through GlovoStore we sell affordable sustainable packaging to businesses, while users have the option to opt-out cutlery in the app.

Promoting sustainability and optimizing the platform
Not only do we negotiate competitive prices with suppliers so the couriers that want it can afford electric vehicles, but we are increasing efficiency in our platform, in particular through order bundling.

Donating food surplus to NGOs
Businesses can use our platform to donate their food leftovers to charities. Glovo is already doing it with its own micro-fulfillment centres and canceled orders!

Science Based Targets

Our emissions reduction targets are approved by the Science Based Targets initiative as consistent with levels required to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement, with reductions required to keep warming to well below 1.5°C.

Compensating with certified CO2 offsetting projects

While we’re focused on reducing emissions, we’re conscious of the need to compensate for the remaining emissions. That’s why we decided to compensate 100% of the emissions from our activities from 2021 onwards.
We’re working with Silicon Valley-based tech company Pachama and South Pole to offset our carbon emissions by buying carbon credits for reforestation projects in South America, and technological projects all around the world.
