Careem partners with CarbonSifr, a climate-solution company and the preferred climate-tech partner of Emirates Nature-WWF, to support carbon removal projects in the UAE and the wider region through a new ride-hailing option, available to customers in Dubai today.
Careem’s ‘Eco-friendly’ ride enables Careem customers to support carbon removal projects in the UAE and the wider region. This means that customers’ contributions will go to high-integrity environmental projects such as planting mangrove trees in the UAE and other nature-based solutions in the region.
In the UAE, Careem has already taken significant steps to reduce its carbon footprint by increasing the share of electric (EV) and hybrid cars in its fleet. In 2023 so far, more than half of Careem’s rides were conducted by hybrid or EV cars. Careem’s ride-hailing fleet in the UAE offers over 700 Teslas and over 4,500 hybrid vehicles. Through the ‘Eco-friendly’ offering, Careem is leveraging carbon removal solutions to boost its positive impact on the climate while engaging customers for the cause.
