Initiatives

talabat offices will be restricting the use of all plastic bottles from our offices and will introduce filtered water and reusable water glass bottles and mugs/cups for employees. We are also replacing plastic cutlery with wooden cutlery and encouraging employees to bring their own reusable metal cutleries from home. Plastic straws will also be replaced with metal ones. These initiatives and their importance will be communicated internally to all employees during QSW.

We have created a collection in our app called "Collect. Win. Stick ", which directs talabat customers to a number of vendors that are using plant based packaging. This packaging also provides customers more information on World Cup events but also a chance to win tickets to events.

We will be communicating with our vendors through our dedicated portal and encouraging them to keep complying with our cutlery opt-out feature by highlighting the importance that each piece of cutlery has on the environment. This feature has already enabled significant carbon reductions and has the ability for further impact through a strong collaboration with our vendors.

talabat employees and riders will be heading to Al Mafjar Beach to clean the beach as part of our efforts to raise awareness of the impact that plastic and non-biodegradable waste has on the environment. Packaging emissions are a major contributor to our company’s emissions and talabat wants to raise awareness specifically by highlighting the impact of single use plastic through this activity to our employees and riders.

The SME Climate Hub is a ground-breaking initiative that provides a one-stop-shop climate action platform for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to curb carbon emissions, build business resilience and gain a competitive advantage. The Hub is an initiative of the We Mean Business Coalition, the Exponential Roadmap Initiative and the United Nations Race to Zero campaign in collaboration with Normative and the Net Zero team at Oxford University.
