SHOW COMMITMENT

FAIR COBALT ALLIANCE

At SUSHI BIKES, we are aware of our responsibility towards the planet and people and continuously work to advance sustainable initiatives.

At the beginning of 2022, we are the first e-bike brand to be a member of the Fair Cobalt Alliance, whose goal is to increase the impact on cobalt extraction and fair working conditions along the entire support supply chain. That makes us very proud!

In a guest post on our blog, David Sturmes reports on the challenges associated with the extraction of cobalt go hand in hand and why an industry-wide collaboration is sought here.

BIKE CHARTA

COMMITMENT ZEIGEN

BIKE CHARTA

The BIKEBRAINPOOL, a think tank of committed and well-known representatives of the bicycle industry, has existed since 1996. The goal is to promote cycling.

In October 2021, 22 companies adopted the Bike Charter, the Corporate Social Responsibility action plan for sustainable management in the bicycle industry.
The 18 subject areas of the charter include, for example, production, location , social relevance and strategic CSR management. In addition, 110 concrete options for action are suggested as to how these goals can be achieved.

After our CEO Andy has already been to several BIKEBRAINPOOL events, we decided that we would like to become part of the project in the long term. Since November 2022 is therefore also SUSHI BIKES part of the Bike Chart. By signing it, we committed ourselves to implementing at least two specific projects to promote environmental protection and social justice in the coming year. Progress will be externally reviewed after one year. The projects are then bundled in a playbook and presented at an event in order to share the insights with all those involved and to impart knowledge to one another.

The projects that we will tackle in the coming year, among other things:
- Certification as a bicycle-friendly employer by the ADFC
- Creation of a CO2 balance
- Compensate for unavoidable emissions

PLANET

Wir haben nur einen Planeten auf dem wir SUSHI BIKES fahren können. Diesen gilt es zu schützen.

PEOPLE

Die nachhaltige Idee hinter SUSHI kann nur funktionieren, wenn es entsprechend produziert und genutzt wird - von Menschen, deren Wohl uns am Herzen liegt.

PROFIT

Ein Produkt braucht einen Markt. Ist ein nachhaltiges Produkt zu teuer, so wird es nicht gekauft. Ist es wirtschaftlich nicht rentabel, existiert es nicht auf dem Markt.

Planet

Mindset

Sustainable initiatives in the office and the use of our bikes in everyday life are examples of our internal mindset.

Supply Chain

We strive to fully understand our supply chain and to optimize it with regard to ecological and social aspects. In addition, we do not produce excess quantities and avoid plastic packaging.

Product

Even if the production of a SUSHI BIKE, as well as the battery and electricity, of course leave an ecological footprint, an e-bike is always a green alternative for routes that you would otherwise do by car or would travel by public transport.

People

Accessibility

With affordable e-bikes, we make sustainable mobility accessible to the masses.

Working conditions

With a view to fair working conditions, we regularly visit our production plants and are part of the Fair Cobalt Alliance.

Lifelong Learning

You never stop learning. For this reason, we encourage and challenge each other day after day and share our knowledge and ideas with each other.

Profit

The Market

We're walking a fine line in trying to appeal to a wide audience with our low price, but needing to calculate hard to stay profitable.

Efficiency

Every economic decision is relevant to our survival as a startup and we always have to take the cost aspect into account - this also applies when weighing up sustainable and less sustainable alternatives.

... We combine both approaches by seeing this commitment to all life on earth as an ongoing process that begins with the grand idea of sustainable mobility and extends to the intricacies of everyday life."
