How do we create lasting positive impact?

enviolo began with a singular belief: cycling embodies the ultimate form of mobility. Since then, our mission has been to empower bike makers to create exceptional bikes.

To unleash the transformative power of the bicycle, we recognize that the cycling community must address challenging yet essential questions. How sustainable are the manufacturing processes behind our products? How empowered are the communities linked to our operations? How future-proof are the decisions we take today?

We believe we can do better. In fact, we believe we must do better.

‘envision’ serves as a call to action for us and our peers— a call to envision a better, brighter outlook for the cycling industry. Yet, we refuse to be bystanders on this journey. Our goal is to be a driving force in creating this future.

From using lower carbon materials in our products to promoting responsible sourcing and fostering an empowered workforce, ‘envision’ entails  11 pledges aimed at reducing our environmental footprint and maximizing our social impact.

Join us as we transform the way we ride, conduct business, and advocate for people-centric urban communities. Let’s envision a world where every turn of the pedal propels us towards a brighter future.

Case Studies

Thriving Planet

We’re unwavering in our commitment to improve the well-being of urban communities worldwide while simultaneously minimizing the environmental footprint of designing, manufacturing, and using our products.

Climate change

Target: 30% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions, and 15% reduction in Scope 3 emissions by 2030 (versus 2022 baseline).

Encouraging people to take fewer trips in cars and more trips on bikes shouldn’t distract us from having environmentally conscious operations and supply chains.

We recognise – now more than ever – that the sustainability of our industry and organisation is intertwined with our planet’s future, and we must remain committed to making products that generate as little emissions as possible during their lifecycles.

Our progress so far

MATERIAL CIRCULARITY

Target: 25% average recycled content across our products and packaging by 2030.

Our two key products, CVPs and AHIs, are predominantly made of metal. From a resource perspective, metals are exceptionally circular, with most being infinitely recyclable. 

While we’re extremely proud of the end-of-life recyclability of our products, we aspire towards a higher level of circularity — circular input materials. Our ambition is to reduce our reliance on virgin, finite resources to better facilitate closed loops of material use. 

Our progress so far

PRODUCT CIRCULARITY

Target: 4,000 products given a second life by 2030.

The world consumes around 83 billion tonnes of materials annually, but only 7.2% is cycled back into our economy. We can improve this by encouraging and facilitating product reuse.

We believe in the importance of making products that are meant to last. Prolonging the useful lifetime of our products starts at the design phase, and extends to repairing and refurbishing used products, ensuring they can be enjoyed for as long as possible.

Our progress so far

Critical Materials

Target: 100% of subcomponents made of critical raw materials are covered by a sourcing contingency plan by 2030.

Some ‘critical’ raw materials essential to sustainable development are highly geographically concentrated, posing a significant risk: geopolitical, economic or ecological turbulence at sourcing countries can quickly change the availability and cost of materials, which would result in production delays.

Becoming future-fit means developing a resilient supply chain that safeguards the ability to deliver high-quality products.

Our progress so far

Empowered Community

We aim to inspire and empower, starting from within but extending far beyond.

PRODUCT SAFETY AND QUALITY

Target: 100% of Tier 1 and high-priority Tier 2 suppliers have undergone on-site quality audits by 2030.

Bikes can only be a viable alternative to cars if they are just as, or more, safe to use. Within our influence, this means ensuring that enviolo-equipped e-bikes are made with quality components, tested against the highest manufacturing and safety standards. 

Our progress so far

CYCLING ADVOCACY

Target: 50% increase in bike use in Europe by 2030.

With the fast pace of e-bike development, we strongly believe in the potential for cycling to become the undisputed mode of low-emission transport. The challenge is that many municipalities fail to offer safe infrastructure and public policy that encourages cycling.

To overcome this, it is crucial that the bike industry plays a role in advocating for cycling as the preferred sustainable mode of transport by helping to raise awareness on the benefits of cycling, reduce barriers to wider adoption, and promote best practice from cycling communities around the world.

Our progress so far

WORKING CONDITIONS

Target: 70% increase in employee engagement and satisfaction levels by 2030.

The goals and ambitions that enviolo strives for are born from the ideas and efforts of our people, which is exactly why we want every person to be excited and engaged by the work that they do. We can only succeed as a collective if we have the tools and support, physically and mentally, to succeed as individuals.

Our progress so far

DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION

Target: 30%+ of senior management roles held by women by 2030.

The characteristics, circumstances, and opportunities we experience are as unique as we are. These differences can create distinct advantages and disadvantages, impacting our quality of life and ability to achieve. We can only truly understand our potential when we have access to comparable opportunities, regardless of gender, race, religion, orientation, disabilities, socioeconomic background, or origin.

At enviolo, we are committed to fostering diversity and diversity of thought. Our goal is to integrate a strong business mindset with compassion and vulnerability.

Our progress so far

Responsible Business

Sustainability is ultimately about taking the right measures today to ensure that our business remains resilient, responsible and relevant tomorrow.

HUMAN RIGHTS IN THE SUPPLY CHAIN

Target: 100% of Tier 1 and high-priority Tier 2 suppliers have undergone independent social audits by 2030.

Our products are assembled in China, India, the Netherlands and Lithuania, with sub-parts originating from even more places. In some, the risk of human rights violations, especially child & forced labour and unsafe working conditions, is higher than others.

Although we strongly believe in our risk management policies and procedures, we recognize the severe impact human right violations have, should they occur. We are committed to taking an even stronger approach to preventing them than is common within our industry.

Our progress so far

COMPLIANCE AND ETHICS

Target: 100% annual completion rate of compliance and ethics-focused training among relevant enviolo employees by 2030.

It is essential that our employees conduct business ethically and responsibly at all times. This starts with a solid understanding of, and compliance to, the legal requirements in the countries we operate in and sell to. Beyond compliance, we want to nurture a culture of integrity, honesty and ethics; one that encourages, empowers and rewards our people for doing the right thing, in the right way, at the right time and for the right reason.

Our progress so far

SUPPLIER RELATIONS

Target: 90% average score on Supplier Relationship Index, as reported by tier 1 suppliers by 2030.

We see our contract manufacturers as strategic business partners in all that we do. Our ambitious envision targets cannot be achieved without their full support. At the same time, we cannot expect them to help us meet our sustainability and commercial goals if we are not meeting their expectations and helping them achieve success.

We want to foster fair and supportive relationships with our suppliers, and this starts with understanding and addressing their feedback on how we are as a customer.

Materiality Assessment

Why 11 focus areas and targets? ‘envision’ is the outcome of a thorough double materiality assessment of the environmental, social and governance impacts, risks and opportunities we face -or expect to face- as a company.

Our assessment is designed to help us prioritize those areas that matter most  to us, our stakeholders and society at large, and has been structured around the guiding principles of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive.
