Neuron Mobility

Neuron Mobility is committed to supporting the Okanagan region in meeting its environmental goals. A top focus is on their footprint and they hope to inspire other companies to join the Biosphere Commitment Program and do the same. The Biosphere Commitment Program offers Neuron Mobility a community of like minded business individuals and advisors to help them understand how best to work towards the Sustainable Development Goals.

“We are, at our core, a sustainability company. One of our main objectives is to provide a sustainable alternative to passenger vehicles through innovative micro mobility solutions. With this, sustainability is part of every decision we make as a business. As we have an impact on the communities we operate in, we take a broad view of sustainability and ensure that we are not just creating environmental benefits, but also promoting accessibility, while bolstering the local economy and providing support to social institutions.”
- Olivia Onderdonk, Neuron Mobility

Urban transport is responsible for nearly 25% of global GHC emissions, which needs to be addressed. To ensure the healthy future of communities, Neuron Mobility believes we must see a modal shift in how people move across them. They are proud to provide their riders a green alternative to passenger cars and a complementing service to public transport. Neuron Mobility is committed and proud to be helping drive the change they want to see in communities they operate in.

Neuron Mobilities sustainability achievements include:

Help get cars off streets: from rider surveys, they know that 46% of rides on Neuron devices in Canada replace rides that would have otherwise been in passenger vehicles.
Certified Carbon Neutral: they are certified carbon neutral globally through Carbon Reduction Institute and have committed to reduce their emissions, and offsetting any unavoidable emissions.
Publicly committed: They are also prepared to be held accountable, and alongside the Biosphere Commitment Program they have also committed globally to The Climate Pledge, joining the world’s most progressive companies to meet net-zero by 2040.
Pioneering technology improves operations: Their devices are built to last, their fully modular scooter, designed in-house, means they can repair and replace parts, rather than replacing the whole scooter. The first micro mobility provider globally to deploy swappable batteries across their entire fleet - now a sustainability prerequisite in the industry. This allows them a very small operational vehicle footprint.
Create quality jobs in the cities they operate: They are proud to hire local teams across their operations and to be a Living Wage Employer, certified by Living Wage for Families BC.
