Urbike

Road transport is one of the main sources of greenhouse gas emissions in Belgium (20.4% of the total in 2020). In Brussels, freight transport accounts for only 10 to 15% of road traffic but more than 30% of transport-related CO2 emissions and up to 50% of fine particle emissions. Therefore, reducing the environmental impact of urban deliveries is a top priority.

That's where Urbike comes in! Thanks to its cyclo-logistics solutions, Urbike actively contributes to improving the environmental impact of delivery activities in the Brussels region. In 2021, Urbike's couriers prevented the emission of more than 50t of CO2 into the atmosphere. And if we add to this the emissions avoided by all the organisations supported by Urbike in logistics transformation missions, the balance sheet is all the more important! Finally, Urbike does not stop there and is involved in several Brussels networks in favour of the promotion of the circular economy, the social and solidarity economy, carbon-free logistics or simply cycling at the regional level.

The cooperative is based on a democratic, solidarity-based and participatory governance model in which each cooperator has one vote at the general assembly. As a result, it can have a direct impact on the choices made by Urbike in terms of social, economic and environmental transition. In addition, from a social point of view, Urbike works to enhance the value of the work of bicycle couriers, to guarantee fair remuneration and adequate insurance coverage.

Urbike has decided to make a concrete commitment to sustainable mobility that puts people and nature back at the heart of its concerns.  It is for all these reasons that we are proud to support them.
