Flix SE has released its third Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Report, voluntarily presenting its ongoing work in sustainable mobility, employee engagement, and corporate governance.
Although not yet required to comply with the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), the company has aligned its 2024 report with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) in anticipation of future obligations.
The report provides an update on how Flix is addressing environmental and social challenges within its operations and across its wider value chain. It also outlines developments in governance and risk management.
André Schwämmlein, CEO and Co-Founder of Flix SE said:As Flix continues to grow, it’s essential that we grow responsibly. This report is part of how we hold ourselves accountable—not just to regulators or partners, but to every person who travels with us or works with us. It is also a tool to evaluate where we stand and where we need to do better.
Environmental
In 2024, Flix introduced 90 buses powered by alternative technologies and fuels, including bio-LNG and electric drivetrains.
These initiatives form part of the company’s broader climate strategy, which includes short-term emissions targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
The company is testing a range of options to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from long-distance transport, which is more difficult to decarbonise than urban bus networks.
Social and Employee Engagement
The report also covers progress on social issues, including employee engagement and community interaction. Flix reported an Employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS) of 37 in 2024, a figure that exceeds industry averages.
The company states that it has worked to place greater emphasis on involving employees in shaping workplace culture and decisions.
Governance and Transparency
New details in the report describe how ESG matters are now embedded in board-level oversight and executive incentives. Flix has introduced a governance framework that integrates sustainability into decision-making, reflecting a broader move to link performance on ESG topics with long-term business resilience.
Central to the 2024 ESG Report is a double materiality assessment, which considers both the company’s impact on people and the environment and how sustainability risks and opportunities could affect Flix’s financial position. This is a key component of the forthcoming CSRD requirements, which Flix is proactively preparing for.
By aligning its report with the ESRS, Flix aims to strengthen internal processes and contribute to improved comparability and clarity in sustainability reporting across the transport sector.
