Uber Technologies Inc. pledged to eliminate carbon emissions and “unnecessary” plastic waste from its growing delivery business by 2040, bringing it in line with goals at its ride-hailing arm.
The ride-hailing company said 100% of food delivery trips will be emission-free globally in 2040, with an earlier target of 2030 in European cities, enabled by regional policies. It also pledged to scrap all of what it called “unnecessary” plastic from deliveries globally by 2030 and to eliminate 80% by 2025 in Europe and Asia-Pacific.
