Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Statement
Zippy.Bike: Delivering Equity, Powered by Purpose
At Zippy.Bike, we believe mobility should be inclusive, community-driven, and environmentally conscious. Our commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) is foundational to how we operate, hire, innovate, and serve.
We’re building a logistics company that reflects the rich diversity of Canada, while offering a superior, more reliable, and more sustainable delivery solution than traditional vehicle-based systems. By weaning our cities off car dependency—the leading cause of accidental death in Canada, with 1,931 vehicle fatalities reported in 2022—we’re contributing to safer streets, healthier air, and more equitable access to opportunity.
Zippy.Bike is more than a logistics provider; we’re a platform for economic inclusion, climate action, and social transformation.
OUR IMPACT IN ACTION
We design our operations to deliver better outcomes—for businesses, consumers, and communities alike.
-
Equity in Employment: Our hiring prioritizes equity-deserving groups including BIPOC, 2SLGBTQ+, youth, newcomers, and people with disabilities. We don’t just offer jobs—we create career pathways and leadership opportunities in clean tech logistics.
-
Superior Service & Performance: With AI-powered routing, electric fleets, and local micro-hubs, we consistently outperform larger delivery models in speed, reliability, and adaptability—particularly in congested urban cores.
-
Healthier Cities: Every Zippy.Bike delivery helps reduce traffic, noise pollution, and emissions. Fewer cars means fewer accidents, better respiratory health, and more livable neighborhood's.
-
Community Wealth Building: We reinvest into the communities we serve through employment, partnerships, and local procurement—ensuring the benefits of our work are shared and measurable.
OUR WORK IS GUIDED BY THREE CORE PILLARS:
1. Equitable Recruitment and Advancement
-
We implement inclusive hiring practices and leadership development programs to expand access for underrepresented groups. We aim to increase representation at every level of our organization and ensure all team members can grow and thrive.
2. Inclusive and Safe Workplace Culture
-
We foster a culture of belonging through continuous education, identity celebration, and open dialogue. Every team member is empowered to contribute, speak up, and feel respected.
3. Barrier-Free, Community-Focused Service
-
From accessible delivery design to multilingual communications and community-driven infrastructure, our services are built to be usable and welcoming to all—especially those historically underserved by traditional systems.
EMPLOYMENT STANDARDS & ACCOUNTABILITY
We are deeply committed to the inclusion of BIPOC and 2SLGBTQ+ communities, with dedicated policies that reflect an understanding of intersectionality, gender identity, and systemic barriers. We apply a Gender-Based Analysis Plus (GBA+) framework in our strategy and align with the:
-
Employment Equity Act
-
Accessible Canada Act
-
Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA)
-
Canadian Human Rights Act
-
Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms
We hold ourselves accountable through biannual impact reviews, community feedback loops, and transparent equity reporting—because equity is not a checkbox; it's the road we ride, together.
