DoorDash, the food delivery company, has announced in its 2022 ESG update that it has achieved net-zero emissions across its scope 1 and scope 2 emissions globally for the second year in a row. DoorDash latest filings mentioned the keywords ‘Emissions’ and ‘Carbon’ most number of times in relation to Net Zero.

DoorDash is achieving its milestones by actively investing in clean energy purchases and carbon removal. DoorDash has also initiated programs to identify levers that will drive carbon reduction in its scope 3 logistics emissions, which make up a significant part of its environmental impact. In 2022, DoorDash provided access to electric vehicles and e-bikes in a number of markets.

DoorDash has completed a measurement of its scopes 1, 2, and 3 carbon footprint. In 2022, the company reported its Scope 1 and 2 emissions as 3,565 tCO2e and 18,727 tCO2e, respectively. The company has taken steps to reduce emissions, including logistics and routing efficiencies, supporting Dashers' (all independent contractors who fulfill deliveries through on its platform, including Dashers and Wolt courier partners) use of low-emission transportation, and investment in carbon removal. DoorDash has also invested in clean energy purchases and carbon removal technology, including biochar, wind, solar, and reforestation, to address emissions from its corporate operations and facilities.

DoorDash has supported Dashers' switch to electric cars with resources like an EV comparison and education website, leasing discounts, and in-person ride & drive events. In DoorDash-branded markets in 2022, over 56 million deliveries were fulfilled by Dashers using a low- or no-emissions vehicle, resulting in an estimated 37,000 metric tonnes of CO2e avoided. DoorDash has also supported reusable packaging programs in the United States, Estonia, Germany, Finland, and the Czech Republic.

In conclusion, the company has taken steps to reduce emissions and invest in clean energy purchases and carbon removal technology to address emissions from its corporate operations and facilities. DoorDash has also initiated programs to identify levers that will drive carbon reduction in its scope 3 logistics emissions, which make up a significant part of its environmental impact.
