Sustainability

No company is perfect, neither are we but we do strive to improve our sustainability year upon year. And we are happy to realise that we are doing more than we realise ourselves. Here are some of our different sustainability efforts across the cities we operate in.

Amsterdam

  • The roof of our Amsterdam headquarters is covered by 4,500 m2 of solar panels
  • And the car park at headquarters has over 20 charging stations
  • The headphones which visitors return to us are refurbished through refitting by JC Zaandstad inmates at their social workshop
  • Three quarters of passenger vessels are electric
  • There are no plastic cups or straws used in the Icebar
  • All buses meet either Euro 6 or EEV criteria

Berlin

  • We cover approx. 25% of our annual electricity consumption with energy produced by the solar panels on the roof of our bus carport

  • 80% of our bus fleet meets Euro 6 criteria and highest efficiency standards
