4 million tonnes of CO₂ avoided – BlaBlaCar publishes its 2025 Sustainability Report

BlaBlaCar today released its fourth Sustainability Report, offering a comprehensive view of the Group's environmental and social impact in 2025. Fully audited and marking a full year with Obilet, the report shows how the Group actively links business growth with positive planetary impact.

In an era of economic and regulatory shifts, 2025 was a year of solidifying foundations and scaling shared mobility worldwide. By leveraging state-of-the-art technology across its unique booking platforms to optimize vehicle capacity — spanning carpooling, buses, and trains, alongside Obilet's extensive marketplace for flights, ferries, car rentals, and hotel bookings — BlaBlaCar improved access to mobility while avoiding millions of tons of carbon emissions on the roads.

This year's report marks a significant milestone: the official publication of BlaBlaCar’s finalized 2032 Carbon Trajectory. It also highlights deep-dive progress on digital accessibility for people with disabilities and the further expansion of local community support during crisis situations and internal progress for diversity, equity, and inclusion.

When you make shared travel more affordable and convenient, you accelerate behavioral change. By centralizing a diverse, multimodal ecosystem across our platforms, we are proving that maximizing vehicle occupancy is one of the most efficient ways to lower transport emissions. Helping our drivers save €568 million while avoiding 4 million tonnes of CO₂ demonstrates exactly what happens when sustainability is engineered directly into a global growth model. — Belinda Saunders, Head of Sustainability of BlaBlaCar

Shared Mobility Model at Record Global Scale

The Group's platforms recorded an average of 5 bookings per second throughout 2025. Growth was anchored by the rapid expansion of emerging economies and multimodal booking habits, with the share of passengers utilizing two or more travel solutions hitting record heights of 17% in France and 16% in Ukraine. In India, peak daily volumes surged past 100,000 passengers during major cultural celebrations like Diwali and Raksha Bandhan, highlighting the scalability of peer-to-peer transport network models. Following the initial rollout of train tickets in Spain, BlaBlaCar integrated train tickets in France, creating a network of 350 national rail stations, 270 bus destinations, and 843,000 highly granular carpooling meeting points across a single interface.

Purchasing Power and Inclusion

Beyond reducing travel costs for drivers, the platform expanded accessibility to poorly served rural zones, connecting over 50,000 towns with fewer than 10,000 inhabitants in 2025. In parallel, targeted feature optimizations drove inclusivity; a visible push for the platform's 'Women-Only' carpooling option resulted in a 43% surge in utilization by active female drivers.

Digital accessibility was also prioritized alongside expert consultancy, applying accessibility-by-design principles to all new BlaBlaCar Daily projects while scaling those key technical insights across the Group.

Bridging the Youth Transport Gap

Enabling access to affordable transport solutions for young people is a core priority for the Group, recognizing the importance of mobility for employment and education. With almost 50% of trips in 2025 booked by BlaBlaCar members under the age of 26, we are deeply connected. For example, statistics in France show that 76% of young adults have missed a job or training opportunity due to transport hurdles. BlaBlaCar addresses these regional challenges with targeted social schemes, such as supporting Spain’s Verano Joven initiative to offer youth up to 90% summer travel discounts, and facilitating statutory discount cards of up to 100% for young passengers in Brazil.

Preparing for the Future of ESG Governance

Building on the extensive Double Materiality Assessment completed last year, BlaBlaCar executed a comprehensive gap analysis in preparation for the EU’s Corporate Sustainabiltiy Reporting Directive (CSRD). The study concluded that two-thirds of the data points we will be required to disclose as part of the upcoming regulation, are already fully or partially available today, which positions us well for future compliance.
