Sustainability

With our vision to drive sustainable and affordable travel, we strive for transformative change in travel, which benefits the environment and the communities we serve. We have always embedded sustainability in our business strategy and across our organization.

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 2025

Upon publication of our fourth voluntary ESG report, we assess our progress throughout 2025 in the Environment, Social and Governance areas.

Among other things, over the past year we have calculated 1.5 million tonnes of CO2 avoided by our passengers in 2025 alone by just choosing Flix services over other modes of transport that emit more CO2 on a per passenger-kilometer basis, 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 2025 Avoided Emissions Methodology.

As a relevant part of our emissions is associated with coach operations, fleet transformation represents a key lever in our decarbonization process. Here, in 2025 we reached an important milestone, with 120 vehicles being outfitted with alternative drive and fuel technologies and regularly operating on the roads. In addition, our FlixTrain runs 100% on renewable energy.

Looking at our social performance, a key milestone is that 31% of destinations we serve have fewer than 20,000 inhabitants, reinforcing Flix’s role as a mobility facilitator for remote and underserved communities.
