about us

Sustainability

We are on a mission to help reduce dependence on fossil fuels and the harmful emissions they produce.

Blink Charging is committed to sustainability and reducing the carbon footprint of transportation. As a leading provider of EV charging equipment and services, we recognize the vital role that EVs play in the transition to a cleaner and more sustainable future.

Our mission is to accelerate EV adoption by providing reliable, affordable, and convenient charging solutions that empower drivers to make the switch to electric. We believe that by making EV charging accessible and convenient, we can help reduce dependence on fossil fuels and the harmful emissions they produce.

In addition to providing EV charging solutions, we also prioritize sustainability in our own operations. We are committed to reducing our environmental impact by minimizing waste, conserving resources, and using sustainable materials whenever possible.

Environmental, Social, & Governance

We acknowledge that responsible business conduct is crucial for sustained success and, through our Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) Committee’s efforts, aim to make meaningful contributions to society and the environment whilst delivering value to our stakeholders and customers.

Serving as a liaison with the ESG Committee, our appointed Director of Sustainability plays a crucial role in overseeing our sustainability initiatives; ensuring the integration of sustainable practices into our corporate strategy, identifying risk and improvement areas, and facilitating communication and reporting on our sustainability progress.

In February 2024, Blink strengthened its integral focus on sustainable growth by creating a new Global ESG Program Manager role to lead an international team alongside the Director of Sustainability. Steering our organization towards a more sustainable future, the ESG Program aligns effectively with Blink’s mission and goals. This program-driven team simultaneously adopted the Blink Europe groups’ Environmental Impact Working Group and Blink UK’s Social Value Delivery Programme.

As leaders in the industry, we are committed to this endeavor, with transparency and accountability, and we are submitting to an ESG corporate rating to further enhance our performance efficacy and propel us towards continuous improvement.

Our Sustainable Commitment In Action

We believe that sustainability is more than a buzzword - it's a way of life. We are committed to doing our part to create a cleaner, more sustainable future for generations to come. Here are a few ways we are bringing that commitment to life.

Accessible Charging

We've built one of the world's largest and most dependable EV charging networks, boasting over 85,000 charging ports, including numerous networked stations worldwide. Our extensive network simplifies EV charging, facilitating the transition to electric vehicles and minimizing carbon emissions.

Renewable Energy

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.

Reducing Emissions

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).

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 have 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.

Valuing Well-Being

With health insurance packages, employee assistance programs, payment of living wages and trained Mental Health First Aiders among our colleagues, we are committed to valuing our peoples’ well-being, alongside compelling benefits and an evolving engagement and satisfaction program.

Product Impact

We are mindful of the health impact of our production processes on our workers and the environment. As such, all employees are equipped with appropriate PPE. We submit annual reports to the Pollution Control Board detailing hazardous waste and chemicals handling and undertake regular testing against particulate matter, acid mist and NOx protocols. We operate a closed-loop system to collect and safely dispose of paint dust and particles.

Fleet Electrification

We understand the barriers and pain-points to EV adoption and lasting changes to travel habits. We are on our own fleet electrification journey, learning alongside our clients. In 2024, our European fleet became fully electric, as Belgium switched its last remaining hybrid car for a BEV. 82% of our global facilities have on-site charging provisions.

Social Impact

Positive social impact has become part of the Blink fabric, with various initiatives for our employees to give back to the community and support environmentally conscious projects. Our US-based ‘Green Team’ has participated in numerous volunteer clean-up efforts in and around Miami Beach and Bowie rivers, including trash collection.
Our sister companies around the globe already had existing efforts and ideas in place, and our globalization has allowed us to expand impact, inspire one another, and further connect across our internal working relationships and with communities and initiatives local to colleagues on each continent.

In 2025, Blink celebrated Earth Day by getting our hands in the soil – from planting trees in Bangalore and Noida, India to litter-picking local parkland in Amsterdam, Netherlands, to conserving woodland in Hertfordshire, UK.

People & Culture

Blink Charging is committed to fostering a workplace where people are at the heart of everything we do. We believe a strong, positive culture drives innovation, excellence, and collaboration across our business. Creating an environment where people feel valued and respected ensures that all employees can thrive, contribute, and share their ideas freely.

Our commitment to building a supportive culture is reflected in our broader sustainability and governance efforts. We provide ongoing training and development to empower all employees, ensure fair treatment, and offer equal opportunities for growth and advancement. We also value a diverse and talented workforce across all levels, from entry-level roles to executive management and the Board of Directors.

Green Building Certification

Blink proudly celebrated the grand opening of our new LEED Gold-certified 30,000 square-foot manufacturing facility in Bowie, Maryland, in March 2024, Our Bowie facility joins our Noida, India premises which was awarded LEED Gold certification in 2019.

LEED, administered by the U.S. Green Building Council, is a globally recognized rating system aimed at assessing the environment and health impacts of building construction operations.

Our commitment to meeting LEED Gold certification standards underscores Blink’s dedication to leadership in sustainability within the EV industry.

Corporate Social Responsibility

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) falls under the broad umbrella of sustainability. CSR is a commitment by businesses to act ethically, contribute to economic development, and improve the quality of life for their employees, local communities, and society as a whole. Many definitions emphasize the delivery of financial, environmental, and social benefits to a broad range of stakeholders, suggesting voluntary actions that go beyond legal requirements. There is significant overlap and interplay between ESG and CSR concepts. Blink Charging has elected to address both ESG and CSR concerns through the oversight of its Environmental, Social and Governance Committee and ESG Policy. All Blink employees undertake anti-bribery and corruption training during induction and through annual updates. Blink's General Counsel and Executive Vice President of Mergers & Acquisitions oversees Blink’s ABC program.

Although climate change and environmental concerns continue to receive significant attention, there has been a growing emphasis on addressing social issues, with a particular focus on the well-being of employees and the implementation of effective human capital management policies. We believe CSR is a critical aspect of our overall sustainability and ESG strategy.

Blink Charging’s executive management and ESG Committee are responsible for the oversight, monitoring, and regular reporting of the Company’s CSR metrics. The ESG and Nominating committee is responsible overall for Sustainability, including that of Occupational Health and Safety, cyber security and Anti-bribery & corruption (ABC) practices. The committee is chaired by an executive board member and reports directly to the Board.

By implementing this Code of Conduct, we are holding ourselves and our suppliers to the highest standards of accountability and sustainability. We believe that responsible business practices are not only the right thing to do, but also critical to the long-term success and well-being of our Company, our suppliers, and the communities in which we operate.
