Zero tolerance for racism

As a company that powers movement, our goal is to ensure that everyone can move freely and safely. To do that, we must fight racism and be a champion for equity—both inside and outside our company.

We must use our global reach, our technology, and our data to help create a safer, more inclusive company, and be a faithful ally to all the communities we serve.

That’s why we’re making several long-term commitments to drive this work forward.

We are committed to ridding our platform of racism

Anti-racism education for riders and drivers New anti-racism and unconscious bias resources—developed with experts—will be made available to all riders and drivers.

Uber has no tolerance for discrimination

Customer support agents will get specialized training

We are committed to fighting racism with technology

Formalizing and expanding our Fairness Working Group Bringing together a working group to examine the impact of our products on communities. This team will work to identify instances of racial bias within our products.

Hiring an Inclusivity and Accessibility Product lead This person will partner with the Fairness Working Group with a mission to design and build products that are free from bias and meet the needs of all our customers.

Expanding equitable opportunities for employment for diverse talent: By encouraging Black and other underrepresented groups to apply to our internships and fellowships programs in partnership with global NGOs, we will further expand the pipeline of underrepresented technical workers.

We are committed to sustaining equity and belonging for all

Uber maintains pay equity based on race and gender

Doubling our Black representation in leadership by 2025 Through pipeline development and hiring, we’ll double Black representation among the five most senior levels at Uber.

Providing transparency on our progress We will continue to publish an annual Diversity Report and expand it to include data on intersectionality and self-identification.

Doubling the talent pipeline Create pathways for drivers, delivery people and Uber customer support staff to advance their careers. We’ll aim to double the pipeline of people who want to pursue corporate or other opportunities with Uber by 2025.

Training on cross-cultural management It’s our responsibility to help individuals manage inclusively. We will offer training to all Uber managers on inclusive management and cross-cultural competency.

We are committed to driving equity in the community

$10M to support Black-owned businesses over two years This is an investment to advance the success of Black-owned small businesses by driving demand via promotions and other merchant support.

$1M pledge for criminal justice reform We’ve committed $1M to the Equal Justice Initiative and Center for Policing Equity.

Extending $0 Delivery Fee for Black-owned restaurants through 2020 We’ll build functionality to more effectively identify and highlight the diversity of restaurants on our platform, including Black-owned restaurants.

Doubling supplier spend with Black-owned businesses We will strengthen and expand our supplier diversity program with the goal of doubling spending with Black-owned businesses and contractors.

This is just the beginning. It won’t be enough until we see true racial justice. But we plan to work day in and day out to improve, learn, and grow as a company.
