Environmental and Sustainability Policy

---

At IceRide, we are deeply committed to minimizing our environmental impact and contributing to sustainable transportation solutions. Our Environmental and Sustainability Policy reflects our responsibility as a mobility service provider to reduce carbon emissions, promote eco-friendly practices, and engage in initiatives that protect our planet for future generations.

1. Reducing Carbon Emissions:IceRide recognizes the significance of transportation in contributing to carbon emissions, and we are dedicated to addressing this issue through the following strategies:

• Electric and Hybrid Vehicles Initiative: We actively encourage our drivers to transition to electric (EV) and hybrid vehicles. Through incentive programs and reduced platform fees, we aim to increase the number of environmentally friendly vehicles on our platform.
• Carbon Offsetting Program: For every ride, IceRide calculates the carbon footprint and contributes a portion of our revenue toward certified carbon offset projects. This includes reforestation, renewable energy, and other green initiatives that help neutralize emissions.
• Ride Pooling Options: We promote the use of ride-sharing and pooling features to reduce the number of vehicles on the road, thus lowering overall emissions and energy use per ride.

2. Sustainable Operations:In addition to improving vehicle sustainability, we are also committed to reducing our environmental impact across all facets of our business:

• Energy-Efficient Facilities: Our office spaces and operational centers are powered by renewable energy sources where possible. We invest in energy-efficient equipment and implement practices such as recycling and waste reduction programs to minimize our operational footprint.
• Paperless Operations: IceRide utilizes digital documentation and communication tools to reduce the need for paper. All rider and driver interactions, including contracts, receipts, and support queries, are managed electronically.
• Remote Work Support: Where possible, our business supports remote work to reduce the environmental footprint associated with employee commuting and office-based energy consumption.

3. Partnership with Sustainability Initiatives:IceRide believes in collaboration and actively partners with environmental organizations and local communities to further sustainability efforts:

• Tree Planting Initiatives: For every milestone or significant ride count achieved on our platform, IceRide commits to planting trees through partnerships with non-profit organizations.
• Supporting Green Projects: We allocate a portion of our profits to support innovative projects focused on sustainability in the mobility and transportation sectors, including research into cleaner energy and technology solutions.
• Public Awareness Campaigns: We engage with both our drivers and passengers to promote awareness about sustainable practices, encouraging behaviors such as responsible driving, minimizing idle time, and taking part in green initiatives in their communities.

4. Continuous Improvement:Our Environmental and Sustainability Policy is not static. We continuously evaluate and improve our processes, technology, and policies to enhance our sustainability efforts. As advancements in technology and environmental science emerge, IceRide will remain at the forefront of integrating these innovations into our platform.

5. Transparency and Accountability:We understand that transparency is critical to our sustainability goals. IceRide will regularly publish an Environmental Impact Report, detailing the steps we have taken to reduce our environmental footprint and the measurable results of these efforts. We also commit to seeking third-party certifications to validate our sustainability claims and ensure that we are meeting the highest standards.

6. Promoting a Green Future:At IceRide, sustainability is not just a policy; it is a core value. We envision a future where transportation is synonymous with environmental responsibility, and we are committed to leading the way toward a cleaner, greener future.

We welcome feedback and collaboration from our community, partners, and stakeholders to continuously improve our sustainability efforts and drive positive environmental change.
