Uber CEO aims for ‘fully green’ food-delivery business


In a manifesto organised by European city network Polis and backed by Uber, eScooter operator Lime, air-taxi company Lilium and several others, they called for Europe to bring forward zero emissions targets for mobility to 2035. — Bloomberg

Uber Technologies Inc wants to expand its zero emissions pledge to food-delivery and make the business environmentally sustainable, but Chief Executive Officer Dara Khosrowshahi stopped short of committing to do so by a 2030 deadline for its ride-hailing arm.
