Uber and Visa are announcing a new program to support small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) transitioning to environmentally sustainable packaging solutions.
This program is part of a broader year-long effort to help SMBs who use Uber Eats to grow their enterprises.
“With consumers continuing to express desires to live more sustainably, businesses across sectors have a notable opportunity to adopt more sustainable practices to meet this demand. Visa [will be] expanding on our partnership with Uber Eats to help small businesses not be left out of the sustainable business transformations this moment requires,” says Douglas Sabo, chief sustainability officer at Visa.
The companies will make US$1 million accessible to qualifying Uber Eats restaurants in New York, Los Angeles, London, Paris and Madrid to fund greener packaging for their businesses.
“Single-use packaging is used in nearly every takeout order worldwide. With Visa and our restaurant partners, we can work toward reducing waste and helping small businesses thrive,” adds Pierre-Dimitri Gore-Coty, SVP and global head of delivery for Uber.
