Sustainability
The basics
Our mission is to protect the world’s cyclists, enabling our customers to spend more time on two wheels. However, no planet, no play.
As a team of people that spend as much time as possible on our bikes in the great outdoors, we are acutely aware of the threats the natural world faces from industry, agriculture and over consumption.

Company Responsibility
Bikmo + Sustainability
Our first priority is to ensure our business is not contributing to the global emissions warming our planet, and then to enable our customers and community to reduce their impact through riding more.
We’ve now released our second Impact Report covering what we’ve achieved since certifying as a BCorp and what we still have to do. Take a read.

Impact
Our main impacts
Our biggest impact is from our business travel and web services, along with our office operations. In 2020 our (scope 3) emissions from travel have been negligible – as have most of the worlds, but we put in place the Cycle to Work scheme to enable the team to ride more.
As for our (scope 2) energy emissions, when we moved our UK based office at the end of the first lockdown we switched to a renewable energy tariff saving 31.4 tonnes annually in CO2 emissions.
We are in the process of establishing our offsetting process before progressing onto having a positive impact on the planet.

Individual responsibility
What can we support our team with?
Collectively, as a team, we can have a big impact during working hours in how we behave and although as a company we don’t want to impose on the free time of team members, we can provide tools and guidance to help individuals make decisions as to the the impact their private lives have on the planet.
Each team member has access to GikiZero, a simple and engaging application that can help estimate your carbon footprint. The best bit is the gamification which firstly suggests changes to your lifestyle, and then a leaderboard which pitches you against other team members and encourages more action.
We have green options with our pension scheme in the UK, operate tax efficient cycle purchases and run training in various aspects of sustainability during All Hands meetings.
