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.

We have established an Environmental, Social, & Governance (ESG) Committee to ensure we meet our sustainability goals and promote socially responsible practices within our company.

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 94,000 charging ports, including numerous networked stations worldwide. Our extensive network simplifies EV charging, facilitating the transition to electric vehicles and minimizing carbon emissions.

Innovative Solutions

We offer a range of charging solutions, from Level 2 chargers for residential use to DC fast charging stations for commercial and public locations. Our charging equipment is designed to be reliable, efficient, and easy to use, making it more convenient than ever for drivers to charge their EVs.

Purposeful Partnerships

We've forged partnerships with diverse organizations to grow our charging network and advance sustainability. Collaborating with major retailers, hotels, and parking facilities, we've installed charging stations at their sites. Additionally, we've teamed up with municipalities and local governments to drive EV adoption and enhance infrastructure.

Ethical Procurement

We are dedicated to sustainable procurement, sourcing from suppliers who share our values of environmental responsibility, fair labor practices, and ethical conduct. Through our sustainable procurement commitment and Supplier Code of Conduct, we strive to reduce our footprint, support local communities, and foster a sustainable economy.

Recycling Initiatives

We recognize the importance of minimizing electronic waste and ensuring the proper disposal of outdated charging equipment. Our commitment to recycling old EV charging units includes exploring options to safely and ethically recycle electronic devices.

Innovation Research

We are committed to improving EV charging technology and supporting the transition to a more sustainable transportation system. We are constantly exploring new technologies and innovations to make charging faster, more efficient, and more accessible.

Blink Green Team:

We established the Green Team as a way for our employees to give back to the community and support environmentally conscious initiatives. The Green Team has participated in numerous volunteer efforts in and around Miami Beach, such as collecting trash and cleaning up local beaches and waterways. We are leading efforts to expand the Green Team to our other offices in the United States and internationally.


Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

Blink Charging is committed to promoting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in all aspects of our business. We recognize that diversity is essential to creating a culture of innovation, excellence, and openness. We also recognize that equity and inclusion are necessary to create a workplace where everyone feels valued and respected. This includes promoting an environment where employees are encouraged to share their opinions and ideas, and where differences are celebrated as a source of strength.

Through our broader sustainability and ESG efforts, we are taking several steps to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace. These steps include providing training and education for all employees on diversity and inclusion topics, and ensuring that all employees are treated fairly, consistently, and provided with equal access to opportunities for advancement. Additionally, we are actively recruiting a diverse workforce, executive management, and Board of Directors.

Blink Charging’s executive management and ESG Committee are responsible for the oversight, monitoring, and regular reporting of the Company’s DEI metrics.


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.

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.


Supplier Code of Conduct

Blink Charging has adopted the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) Code of Conduct. The RBA Code of Conduct (“Code of Conduct”) is applicable to both the Company and our suppliers and mirrors our commitment to ethical business practices, including labor rights, environmental responsibility, health and safety, and ethical sourcing. 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. Blink Charging expects its suppliers to be in compliance with the Code of Conduct.
