Environment
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.
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.
Electrifying the fleet and optimizing routes
Not only do we negotiate competitive prices with suppliers so that couriers can afford electric vehicles, but we are increasing efficiency in our logistics, in particular through order bundling, as well as negotiating competitive tarifs with mobility companies to improve access to electric vehicles for couriers.
Donating food surplus to NGOs
Businesses can use our last-mile logistics to donate their food leftovers to charities. Glovo is already doing it with its own micro-fulfillment centers 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.
