Uber's sustainability record is dominated by rising absolute emissions across its platform despite intensity improvements and renewable energy wins in corporate operations. Scope 3 emissions grew 68% in two years. The company retreated from public ESG reporting in 2025, switched to intensity-based rather than absolute reduction targets, and faces credible criticism for increasing urban congestion and vehicle miles traveled.
