Environmental Policy Page
GoSplit is a green ridesharing startup in New Zealand committed to reducing our environmental impact. We believe that by sharing rides, we can Go Green! Helping protect the beautiful Kiwi environment while providing convenient transport. Our Environmental Policy reflects our dedication to sustainability in everything we do, from daily rides to long-term initiatives.
At GoSplit, going green is not just a marketing angle. It’s the core of why we exist. Our mission is to make transportation in New Zealand more sustainable by reducing single-occupancy car trips and cutting carbon emissions. Here’s how we are contributing to a cleaner, greener future:
Ridesharing for a Greener Tomorrow
By matching people to share rides, we aim to reduce the number of cars on the road. Fewer cars mean less exhaust and pollution. For each GoSplit trip, think of it as one less car in the traffic jam and that much less CO2 in the air. Over time, a community of carpoolers can make a big dent in emissions and urban congestion.
Eco-Friendly by Design
- Our app encourages efficient routing and will suggest pickup spots that minimise detours, saving fuel.
- We plan to introduce a feature showing users their “Carbon Saved”. How much CO2 they avoided producing by sharing rides. This way, every user can track their positive impact.
- We support the use of electric or hybrid vehicles on our platform. While any car can carpool, we especially celebrate drivers who use green vehicles.
Go Green, GoSplit Initiative
“Go green, go split” is more than a tagline, it’s a pledge. We pledge that:
- A portion of our profits will fund environmental projects in NZ, such as tree planting or clean energy, to offset carbon emissions from rides.
- We will continuously seek ways to improve sustainability in our operations.
Educating & Advocating
Beyond our service, GoSplit educates the community about the benefits of ridesharing. Through social media, we share tips on eco-friendly travel, car maintenance for better fuel efficiency, and stories of how our users are making a difference.
Internal Practices
We also walk the talk in our office culture. Our team practices recycling, remote work to cut commutes, and other green initiatives.

We’re excited to have a growing community of eco-conscious users who care about New Zealand’s future as much as we do!
