The Bikeleasing Sustainability Vision

Committed to sustainability – ecologically, economically, socially

Our commitment

As a company bike provider, we not only promote climate-friendly mobility – we think ahead. We believe that being sustainably-minded includes taking ecological and economic responsibility and creating real added value for society.

From vendor management to our internal processes: We focus on minimizing our carbon footprint while maximizing our positive contribution to the environment, the economy and society.
 

Our objective

We want to actively shape the mobility transition by offering company bikes as a sustainable alternative. We take responsibility and promote sustainably – through climate-friendly mobility, resource-saving processes and strong partnerships.

How we see sustainability

In our eyes, sustainability implies clearly defined objectives, measurable progress and consistent actions. In this context, we focus on the three core disciplines: climate protection, resource efficiency and the circular economy –in line with the 1.5 degree target set forth in the Paris Climate Agreement.

For us, that includes:
Reducing emissions, strengthening fair working conditions and promoting regional value creation. In other words, it includes thinking ahead and acting with a focus on ecological, economic and social responsibility. For us, sustainability is not just a word; it is fundamental to everything we do.

What have we achieved to date?

Ecological – sustainability in our business operations

  • Green energy 
    We rely on 100% green electricity backed up by solar systems for power generation.
  • Eco-friendly cafeteria 
    Pre-ordering via an app helps our cafeteria avoid food waste. Meals are prepared from regional ingredients – vegetarian and vegan dishes are an integral part of our menu.
  • Buildings designed for sustainability
    Our new facility is built mainly from renewable raw materials. It features an innovative energy management system. The flexible room design facilitates subsequent use.
  • Our contribution to biodiversity 
    The coffee for our customer giveaways is produced by the Harzer Röstkaffee coffee roasting company. Every pack bought supports the Harz National Park Lynx Project, providing an active contribution to biodiversity.

Ecological – sustainability in our business model

  • Ecological business model 
    Our approach to company bike leasing promotes and supports sustainable mobility, reducing the detrimental impact of traffic – in terms of our own emissions and those of our customers.
  • Bike2Future closes the circle 
    Bikes returned at the end of the lease term are cleaned, inspected and sold on as pre-owned company bikes to the most exacting standards. Preserving resources, this offer is available to both private and business customers at a fair price. Naturally, our circular economy approach includes our shipping cartons; these are reused multiple times and will be recycled at the end of their useful service life.  
  • Minimized carbon footprint
    We track our annual carbon footprint (Scopes 1,2 and 3) and have it checked externally for continual reductions in our CO2 balance.

Economical – doing business in a responsible way

  • Business continuity 
    We promote healthy growth without jeopardizing the livelihoods of future generations. Our goal is to establish and maintain long-term, reliable partnerships with employees, customers and partners.
  • Efficient processes 
    We continually optimize our processes and our use of resources to make these more efficient, driving sustainable operations and reducing our CO₂ emissions.
  • Strengthening the local economy 
    We rely on retail store dealers to support local and regional value creation. This keeps supply chains short and helps preserve regional infrastructures for future generations.

Social – for our team

  • Work-life balance and fairness
    We offer flexible working hours, part-time options, working from home or remotely and permanent employment contracts with fair pay – and we believe in equal rights, diversity and equal opportunities.
  • Health management system
    Regular health checks by our company physician, trainings on ergonomics at the workplace and occupational safety and suitable office equipment are standard. Through HanseFit, we offer access to a network of fitness studios and a range of sports facilities.
  • Further training in the team 
    In 2024, our employees invested a total of 2,033 hours in company-funded training and development.
  • Bike leasing for all
    The provisioning of a sustainable mobility solution yields a major benefit to society: less traffic congestion, reduced stress, fewer emissions.

Social – corporate culture and social commitment

  • Responsible entrepreneurship 
    Our Code of Conduct commits us to complying with the International Bill of Human Rights, the ILO core labor standards and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises.
  • Maximum transparency and dispute resolution 
    The introduction of Our Code of Conduct included the establishment of an anonymous whistleblower system. If any violation is suspected, reports can be submitted. We guarantee that any such reports will be examined thoroughly and transparently.
  • Sponsoring and partnerships
    We provide focused support for science, research, education, charitable causes, sports and culture. All of our donations and sponsorships are subject to transparency in accordance with applicable law and our internal guidelines.

The 17 sustainability goals

Sustainability is a subject matter that concerns all of us. In its 2030 Agenda, the United Nations (UN) has defined 17 global goals for sustainable development – a global accord for the future. The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) comprise 169 specific subgoals and set uniform global standards for sustainable action. Countries commit to implementing these goals, taking into account the three pillars of sustainability: social, ecological and economic.

As a company, we take responsibility, embedding these goals in our business activities. With our focus on sustainable mobility, we are making an active contribution to achieving multiple SDGs. At the same time, we minimize any impact that may arise along our value chain through direct or indirect business activities.
