Our Impact Focus 2025-2027
In this vital decade for climate change, our global team is driving a focused, innovative approach to maximise our positive impact over the next years.
Waste Management
Reducing e-Waste: We recognize the importance of minimizing electronic waste and ensuring the proper disposal of outdated charging equipment. On the European continent, 91% of the components of our retired units are recycled through partner Out of Use.
Recycling initiatives: Our office and manufacturing facilities all separate recyclables from refuse for collection and teams opt for reusable items where possible. In 2025, our UK offices joined our Belgian, Dutch and Indian teams in also separating food waste for composting. We use TerraCycle ZeroWaste boxes for ‘hard-to-recycle' consumables packaging.
Emissions Reduction
We are working to reduce emissions from our own business operations and have assessed our scope 1, 2 and a subset of scope 3 emissions, in line with the Greenhouse Gas Emissions (Kyoto) Protocol. Blink Europe’s Baseline Year (2023) carbon emissions were calculated at 279.5tCO2e (location-based).
Energy Management
Blink is on a mission to support a clean energy transition, including our own power. 45% of our leased premises globally are powered by a renewable energy supply – we continue to work with landlords in all our locations to implement increasingly sustainable facilities solutions. In the UK and Netherlands, where Blink powers the charger, it has always been 100% renewable. Across our entire European network, nearly 25% of drawn power is from a verified renewable supply.
People & Culture
At Blink Charging, our people power everything we do. Our inclusive culture – rooted in our values: Listen, Lead, Learn - drives collaboration, creativity, and excellence. From career development and equal opportunities to health benefits and trained Mental Health First Aiders, we are committed to building a workplace where people thrive – because when employees thrive, innovation follows.
Ethical Procurement
At Blink Charging, we believe that responsible business practices are the foundation of long-term success - for our company, our partners, and the communities we serve.
We have adopted the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) Code of Conduct and strengthened our approach through robust framework agreements with key manufacturing and engineering partners. This commitment ensures the highest standards in labor rights, environmental stewardship, health and safety, and ethical sourcing across our global operations and supply chain.
Our ethical supply chain practices go beyond compliance. They include:
Human Rights Due Diligence – addressing modern slavery risks and promoting fair labor.
Conflict Minerals & Chemical Management – ensuring responsible sourcing and safe materials.
Transparency & Engagement – driving accountability through supplier collaboration.
Dedicated Training – equipping procurement teams to uphold these standards.
Social Value Commitments
At Blink UK, Social Value is at our core - not just a checkbox. Every project is a chance to drive real, lasting change for communities - economically, socially, and environmentally. We consistently deliver measurable impact, go beyond compliance, and aim to leave a legacy [of value] that endures long after the contract ends.
Jobs
At Blink UK, we are driven to create meaningful employment opportunities that lift communities and contribute to a more inclusive UK economy. By prioritising local recruitment, fair pay and skill development, we empower people to build sustainable careers, not just land jobs. Our approach focuses on opening doors for those furthest from the labour market, including apprentices, veterans, long-term unemployed individuals and those seeking to retrain or re-enter the workforce. In 2026, we will host employability workshops to support individuals who may face struggles securing a job. Already in 2025, two work placements thrived, gaining new skills and meaningful experiences in finance and data.
“I received full support from everyone on my team including those across different teams. I felt so welcome, and I was able to come to people when I was stuck in different aspects of the job.” – Natalie, Accounts Assistant
