Grab Indonesia has significantly cut its carbon footprint, reporting a reduction of over 211,000 tons of greenhouse gas emissions in 2025. This achievement stems from increased use of low-emission vehicles and the expansion of its electric fleet across Southeast Asia.

The company's environmental efforts extend beyond direct transport emissions. Grab also reported avoiding and removing more than 772,000 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent through verified carbon credit projects, ecosystem protection, and planting over 210,000 trees. Furthermore, the company managed to reduce, reuse, or recycle over 10,000 tons of single-use packaging waste during the same period.

Rivana Mezaya, Director of Digital & Sustainability at Grab Indonesia, highlighted the company's commitment to emission reduction as a core focus. She stated that developing electric vehicles is crucial for decarbonizing the transportation sector and reducing reliance on fossil fuels. Grab Indonesia aims to bolster its electric vehicle ecosystem, supporting the government's goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2040.

Indonesia serves as a key market for Grab's electric vehicle initiatives. By the end of 2025, Grab operated over 14,000 electric vehicles, including motorcycles and cars, across 10 major cities. This expansion is supported by approximately 1,500 battery swap stations and charging facilities, underscoring Grab's integrated approach to sustainable mobility.
