AN UPDATE ON OUR ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE PROGRESS

In 2022, our mobility business roared back post pandemic, while the delivery
business continued to grow healthily while expanding into new verticals. We
facilitated more than 7.6 billion trips and provided flexible earnings
opportunities for more than 5.4 million drivers and couriers. Simply put, the
power of the Uber platform has never been more evident. 

Importantly, our team delivered this while continuing to lead from the front on
the key environmental, social and governance metrics that matter to our
stakeholders.

On sustainability, we more than tripled the number of electric vehicles on the
platform and connected 31 million unique riders with a ride in an electric
vehicle. The Science Based Targets initiative also approved our 1.5°C degree
aligned near and long-term science-based emissions reduction targets, making us
one of the first 30 US-based companies to have such targets approved.  

We introduced new programs to help the communities and cities we operate in. In
2022, our Access Fund helped 54 organizations across 16 countries with
transportation access to access essential goods and services, and we expanded
our Vaccine Access Fund to support broader access to essential health care
services via the Health Access Fund. In addition, we responded on the ground in
Ukraine, and showed up for communities affected in more than a dozen disasters
worldwide, including Hurricane Ian in Florida and the floods in Bangladesh and
Pakistan. 

We also continued to invest in our most important resource, our people. Despite
an environment of reduced hiring, we broadly maintained our progress in
increasing female and URP talent. Women now account for 42.6% of our global team
while people from underrepresented backgrounds make up 23.8% of our US team. We
know it isn’t enough to simply attract diverse talent – we remain focused on
developing, building and advancing that talent within Uber.

Above this, we have maintained a strong governance culture and structure, with
90% independent directors, females comprising 40% of our board, and 30% of our
board coming from under-represented racial or ethnic groups. All above S&P 500
industry averages.  

Our 2023 Environmental, Social and Governance Report is truly a reflection of
how we #BuildwithHeart and work together as #OneUber to keep moving the
goalposts forward to build an even better business for our stakeholders,
investors, employees, and those who drive or ride on the platform. 

Other key highlights include:

 * Expanded our green options to over 200 cities worldwide with riders taking 77
   million trips in zero emissions vehicles on the Uber platform
 * Published our third Climate Assessment and Performance Report and disclosed
   global Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions
 * Launched an emissions tracking dashboard for Uber for Business customers
 * Provided 114,000 free rides and moved 1.5 million pounds of food, water, and
   essential supplies for community rescue, relief, and recovery in 2022.
 * Pioneered new safety tech, including audio and video recording, to help keep
   people safe
 * Advocated on behalf of drivers and couriers in markets around the world to
   preserve the flexibility of work while expanding access to benefits and
   protections
 * Increased leadership representation among under-represented populations by
   1.5%
 * Increased women at Manager level and above to 31% and under-represented
   populations in the US at Senior analyst level and above to 13%
