Sustainability as an integral part of our vision
Our CEO's statement
«We seek to create added value whenever our actions have an impact. We support the transition to a climate-conscious mindset and increasing travel opportunities for all with our growing global network. At the same time, we want to support positive change for our stakeholders, from our employees all the way to our business, bus and train partners, and customers. Measuring our impact in the medium and long term with a robust ESG (Environment, Social and Governance) strategy and sustainability roadmap as an integral part of our vision is vital to ensure we are on the right path.»

Some of our facts for 2023
Upon publication of our second voluntary ESG report, we assess our progress throughout 2023 in the areas highlighted by our four pillars: Travel, People, Planet, and Governance.
Among other things, over the past year we have calculated 1.1 million tonnes of CO2 avoided by our passengers in 2023 alone by just choosing Flix services over other modes of transport, like cars or planes (based on the results of our Post Ride Survey). To find out more on the methodology used to quantify the emission benefits of collective travel, please refer to Flix’s 2023 Avoided Emissions reporting criteria.
And there was more to our environmental performance: in April 2024, the SBTi validated Flix’s near-term targets for emissions reduction – our own and our partners’ – by 2032, thus acknowledging that our strategy is in line with global climate goals. With these targets, Flix aims to reduce its absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 54.6%. This includes greenhouse gas emissions directly and indirectly generated by Flix, associated with the consumption of electricity, steam, heat, or cooling, and with the fuel consumption of its own fleet. Additionally, Flix aims to reduce its Scope 3 emissions by 40.9%, which includes emissions generated by its partners’ fleets per passenger kilometer.
Regarding our social performance, key figures include 44% female new hires in 2023, which are part of an overall global workforce of over 5,600 employees from 102 countries, reaffirming diversity as an intrinsic structure to support a fundamental value at Flix and the force behind our success.
