additional perks. In 2022, we refreshed our US Uber Pro program,
introducing a new Uber Pro debit card that enables drivers and couriers to
cash out their earnings after every trip and earn up to 10% cash back on
gas and up to 12% on EV charging.19 We also added new US perks, including
preferred pickup and dropoff areas, discounts on drinks and snacks from
7-Eleven, and a Gold Star Costco membership for eligible drivers.20

In addition, we partner locally with academic and learning institutions,


labor unions, and leading NGOs around the world to expand opportunities
for lifelong learning and career advancement to eligible drivers, couriers,

Listening to drivers
and couriers
Feedback from drivers and couriers helps us understand their diverse perspectives and informs our work
to improve their experience, address their pain points, and support their needs. In 2022, we held over 300
engagement and listening sessions with drivers and couriers around the world and conducted more than
50 surveys to gather feedback. In the US, we launched UberListen, a program that enables Uber employees
to get drivers’ feedback during a ride.

Going a step further, in places like Australia, India, and the US, groups of drivers and couriers can provide
assistance to fellow drivers and couriers and work directly with Uber’s Operations and Product teams on
behalf of their communities. For example:

In the US, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) makes annual traffic fatality information available to the public through the Fatality Analysis Reporting System
(FARS). The motor vehicle fatality data in Uber’s US Safety Report is built off the data standards established by FARS. Each fatal crash in the Uber dataset was reconciled to a fatal crash
in the FARS database. For a fatal motor vehicle crash to be included in the Safety Report, the crash must have involved the vehicle of at least one driver using the Uber platform and the
death of at least one person within 30 days of the crash. Fatal crashes are included in the US Safety Report regardless of whether the deceased party was an Uber user or whether a driver
using the Uber platform or their vehicle was the cause of the crash or was carrying the deceased parties.

Please view the “Methodology” chapter of Uber’s US Safety Report for more information on these metrics.

Main findings from TCFD analysis


Uber believes it is largely insulated from the most severe physical and transitional
risks related to climate change because it has minimal physical assets and
manages a very responsive marketplace across all its lines of business.

Uber’s most significant transition-related risk and opportunity hinge on our goal of
achieving 100% electrification in mobility by 2030 and being net-zero company-
wide by 2040. As a tech platform with minimal direct asset ownership, Uber is very
dependent on economy-wide GHG abatement policy and technology to accelerate
decarbonization.

Aggressive decarbonization across society would open opportunities by increasing


corporate customers’ willingness to pay for zero-emission transport across all
business lines as corporations strive to meet their own decarbonization targets and
offset carbon costs.

At the same time, Uber may face some short-term acute physical impacts from
events such as flooding and high winds, although, historically, the impacts from
such events have been short-lived.

During an internal review, Uber determined that the choice of emissions factor for a small number of sites that are significant electricity users overestimated Scope 2 emissions for CY2021. Uber is restating Scope 2 emissions for CY2021 for these sites using a more appropriate factor, thereby improving the accuracy of Scope 2
emissions for CY2021 and estimates of year over year changes in subsequent years. Uber brought this to the attention of LRQA to include in this report in the interest of transparency. Also, due to the acquisition of Tupelo Parent, Inc (“Transplace”), Uber recalculated Scope 3 category 11 emissions for the 2021 base year.

For Scope 1 and 2, the reporting criteria used to evaluate the emissions report is the WRI/WBCSD Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol. This includes the following material GHGs: CO2 (carbon dioxide), N2O (nitrous oxide), and CH4 (methane). The following emission conversion factor sources are used in calculations: Natural gas

In October 2021, we refreshed our mission and values. We’re still in the
midst of our multiyear culture journey, but the progress we’ve made
already is astounding. A majority of employees report that our company
values align with their personal values, a strong sign of organizational fit.
Embedding new values in an organization can take years, so we’re proud of
the progress we’ve made through our intentional efforts.

Culture has a significant impact on our employees’ intent to stay with


Uber and their productivity while they’re here. Specifically, employees
who believe that leaders are acting in ways that are consistent with Uber’s
values are more likely to want to stay at Uber. And employees who report
that cultural values are being discussed on their teams and applied in
their work are more engaged (and more productive) in their work. These
correlations show how critical organizational culture is to business
performance and emphasize the need to continue investing in this work.

An intersectional view

For the past 4 years, we’ve shared a deeper look at our workforce data by
exploring intersectional views (simultaneously reflecting gender and race).
When we consider intersectionality, we’re better able to make meaningful,
insightful observations of key trends, and thus pursue more impactful and
inclusive strategies to continue closing gaps and improving our culture.

Overall, although white men still make up the highest share of Uber’s
employee population (22.5%) in the US, this is down from 30.1% in 2019
largely due to increases in the representation of Asian women (+2.5
percentage points), Hispanic/Latino women (+1.3 percentage points), and
Hispanic/Latino men (+0.9 percentage points) over the past 4 years. We’ve
also seen progress in the representation of Black or African American
women and Hispanic/Latino women in leadership roles since 2019 (both
up 1 percentage point). Lastly, the lack of representation of Black or African
American women leaders in Tech is a big gap, but we’ve seen increases
of Hispanic/Latino women, Hispanic/Latino men, and Black or African
American men (all up 0.7 percentage points) in our Tech leadership
population over the same 4-year period.

Observations such as these emphasize the importance of how we think


about equity; mitigating bias for one population will not work for all. We’ll
continue to look at the intersectional representation data to assess how
well our people processes are working and how inclusive our culture is for
different groups at Uber.

For a detailed look at our intersectional


representation data, please see the
performance data tables.

Pay equity progress
In 2022, women at Uber globally earned $1.00 for every $1.00 (total cash)
earned by men performing similar job functions. In that same time
period in the US, in aggregate, employees from underrepresented racial
backgrounds earned $0.98 for every $1.00 (total cash) earned by non-
underrepresented peers at the same job level. Uber stays committed to
examining and updating our people processes to ensure that pay and
compensation decisions are made without bias and with the goal of
equity across our workforce. We will continue to focus on maintaining

Empowered communities
Uber is one of the world’s largest platforms for flexible work, and
we continue innovating to create new ways to generate economic
opportunities for drivers and couriers on our platform. By partnering
with taxi fleet companies in cities globally, for example, we enable
large numbers of taxi drivers to tap into our international demand
pool, helping to increase their utilization and earnings. By the end
of 2022, Uber was referring trips to more than 150,000 taxi drivers
worldwide, including more than 10,000 from taxi partnerships in

Our company also continued advancing our anti-racism

racial equity, we remain partners with EatOkra, Operation HOPE, and
National Urban League to support Black-owned businesses across
the US. As part of those collaborations, for example, Uber Eats hosted
events in Atlanta, including an April 2022 summit that gathered owners
and staff from Black-owned restaurants to learn and share how to
grow their business on and off the platform. In the UK, Uber Eats
launched the Uber Eats Black Business Fund to support Black-owned
businesses that were disproportionately affected by the pandemic. In
collaboration with Enterprise Nation and Be Inclusive Hospitality, the

Sustainability Accounting Standards Board


This report includes metrics responsive to the recommendations of the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB). Because no one set of industry reporting standards encompasses the full scope of Uber’s business
model, we have included applicable reporting standards from both the SASB Internet Media and Services and SASB Road Transportation standards. In some cases, we’ve made modifications or omissions to these reporting
standards to better reflect Uber’s actual operations and the data that is available for consistent, quality measurement and reporting. We have also provided information responsive to aspects of the all-sector recommendations
of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures on governance, strategy, risk management, metrics, and targets. We expect to continue building on this work in future versions of the report.

Sustainable Development Goals


Uber proudly contributes to many of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Due to the nature of our business and operations, we primarily contribute to 9 of them: Good Health and Well-Being; Gender
Equality; Affordable and Clean Energy; Decent Work and Economic Growth; Reduced Inequalities; Sustainable Cities and Communities; Climate Action; Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions; and Partnerships for the Goals.
The following pages include a few examples of Uber’s contributions to the goals, with an emphasis on our contributions in 2022 and the early part of 2023.

Topic
Priority SDGs and targets Example activities Location
Goal 3: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at Global: We partner with leading insurance companies to offer a range of protection solutions, including on-app coverage for accidents and injuries while working—and in some p. 17
all ages markets, income protection when drivers or couriers can’t work due to injury or sickness.
Global: Drivers and couriers on the Uber platform come from all age groups: 18-29 (31%), 30-39 (33%), 40-49 (21%), 50+ (15%). p. 12
Internal: Our company continues to evolve sustainable, healthy building standards across design, construction, policies, and operations, resulting in spaces that support the health p. 45
of people and planet. These efforts prioritize improved air and water quality, acoustic and thermal comfort, energy efficiency, daylighting and dynamic lighting, sustainable building
materials, waste reduction, and physical and mental wellness support. We expanded our global footprint of sustainable, healthy workplaces through additional LEED and WELL
certifications in 2022. Uber’s global portfolio now includes 9 LEED-certified locations, 7 WELL-certified locations, 18 WELL Health-Safety Rating sites, and 3 WELL Precertification sites.
Global/internal: Our benefits offering provides market-specific choice, gives access to robust mental health and family-building programs, including an 18-week global parental p. 74
leave policy; and encourages overall employee well-being, all with the employee experience at the core.
US: In Washington, DC, we teamed up with Surgo Ventures and 2 community health centers—Mary’s Center and Community of Hope—to form Rides for Moms. Through this p. 87
initiative, we provided more than 4,500 rides to prenatal appointments for 457 pregnant people.
US: Uber is joining forces with Amerigroup Georgia (a managed care plan and subsidiary of Elevance Health), the Georgia Primary Care Association, and Federally Qualified p. 87
Health Centers in Georgia to help expectant mothers get the care they need and offer additional support such as help with meals, goods, and groceries through the Uber
Eats platform.
US: In Chicago in 2022, in partnership with Pace Suburban Bus, we facilitated more than 20,000 on-demand rides within the DuPage Uber Access Program, where trip booking p. 88
otherwise requires more than 24 hours’ notice. In Washington, DC, what began as a short-term, small-scale rescue rides arrangement with the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit
Authority (WMATA) has expanded into a significant paratransit program for the city known as Abilities-Ride. Through this program, WMATA sends 10%-15% of its daily paratransit
requests through Uber. As a result, WMATA has a 93% on-time performance for paratransit trips.
US: In 2022, our partner Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) expanded the Vaccine Access Fund, which provided rides to COVID-19 vaccine appointments, into the Health p. 87
Access Fund, which now supports broader access to essential healthcare services for communities. Through this program, Uber aims to provide thousands of rides per month
(through 2023) for underserved communities through transportation grants to 18 community health organizations across 16 states.

Goal 5: Achieve gender equality and empower all women Global/internal: We continue to remain focused on enhancing our ability to track our demographic data and using the results to ensure our ability to meet our targets for p. 65
and girls improving representation for women globally and underrepresented people (URP) in the US. With much of the world facing economic uncertainty in the second half of 2022,
regression in our representation data might have been expected. But so far, we have been able to sustain our gains—and have even seen some incremental increases.
Global/internal: In 2017, we began monitoring employee compensation data and made adjustments to achieve fair and consistent pay outcomes across race and gender demographics. p. 76
In 2022, women at Uber globally earned $1.00 for every $1.00 (total cash) earned by men performing similar job functions. In that same time period in the US, in aggregate, employees
from underrepresented racial backgrounds earned $0.98 for every $1.00 (total cash) earned by non-underrepresented peers at the same job level. Uber stays committed to examining
and updating our people processes to ensure that pay and compensation decisions are made without bias and with the goal of equity across our workforce. We will continue to focus on
maintaining and providing transparency on this important measure going forward.

and modern energy for all. US: Uber is committed to matching 100% of energy use in our US workplaces with renewable energy by 2025, with current workplace energy (kWh) matching at 70% for 2022. We intend
to match all energy use in our global corporate operations with renewable energy by 2030. Uber’s investment in the Azure Sky wind farm in Texas, which we helped finance through a 12- p. 45

believe good platform work should provide independent platform workers with flexibility, earnings, benefits and protections, voice, and growth.
Global: As part of our participatory and consultative approach with drivers and couriers, we continue to partner with driver and courier associations, including unions. p. 21
Canada, EU, and US: The predominance of multi-apping in the platform economy underscores the need for benefits schemes that are portable, meaning that each worker has p. 16

and are prepared to contribute toward such schemes where sectoral regulatory requirements make it possible for us to do so.
Global: We partner locally with academic and learning institutions, labor unions, and leading NGOs around the world to expand opportunities for lifelong learning and career pp. 18-19
advancement to eligible drivers, couriers, and, in some cases, their loved ones. We partner with Rosetta Stone to provide eligible drivers and couriers around the world with the

Global/internal: “Stand for safety” is a core company value that extends beyond our platform to our people and places. Having a healthy, safe, sustainable work environment for p. 75
all employees, contractors, and guests empowers them to do their best work. Uber’s injury and illness prevention plan (IIPP) is the foundation of our safety management system,
which adheres to all legal requirements at federal, state, and local levels as well as any international or internal Uber requirements. Every program, process, and policy has been
intentionally designed with these requirements in mind while also incorporating a continuous improvement system, as the work of safety never stops.
Global: Recognizing that movement is critical to accessing the goods and services communities need to thrive, Uber launched a community access fund that provides p. 87
transportation grants. In 2022, and through these grants, 54 local organizations in 16 countries received transportation that enabled equitable access to doctor appointments,
meals for food-insecure households, domestic violence shelters, refugee services, health screenings, and job appointments, among other opportunities.
Global: By partnering with taxi fleet companies in cities globally, we enable large numbers of taxi drivers to tap into our international demand pool, helping to increase their p. 89
utilization and earnings. By the end of 2022, Uber was referring trips to more than 150,000 taxi drivers worldwide, including more than 10,000 from taxi partnerships in Colombia,
Italy, New York City, and San Francisco.

Global: We believe our employee experience and diversity, equity, and inclusion work is critical to the success of our business. We would pursue these efforts regardless of external p. 108
recognition. That said, we are proud of the awards we’ve received over the years and appreciate how they showcase our commitment to our employees and help tell our story to
consumers, potential employees, and the public.

staff from Black-owned restaurants to learn and share how to grow their business on and off the platform. In the UK, Uber Eats launched the Uber Eats Black Business Fund
to support Black-owned businesses that were disproportionately affected by the pandemic. In collaboration with Enterprise Nation and Be Inclusive Hospitality, the fund
awarded grants to 25 small Black-owned businesses in the UK.
