Flix

🌍Today is World Sustainable Transport Day, and it’s a good reminder that our industry still has a long way to go in reducing its impact.   At Flix, we always try to look at sustainability from a bigger picture, whether its about carbon-emissions, connecting smaller cities, or higher levels of transparency in our reporting. It is a key part of how we shape our strategy for growing and operating our business.   Even with the challenges in the industry. We have seen some great steps in the past years, for example:   📈Our network has increased 33% in new destinations over the last year. More importantly, around 1 in 3 destinations are in towns with less than 20,000 inhabitants, and often in places underserved by rail, making buses an important mobility lifeline.   ⚡Additionally, together with our partners, we now operate 120 buses with alternative drives like electric and biofuels. This is a 30% increase compared to the previous year.   🌿Fleet transformation is a key aspect of our ESG strategy, together with our Science-Based Targets pathway, with near-term decarbonization goals set for 2032. Scaling these technologies is not easy, but we are committed to pushing with our partners to achieve success.   Today, We are also proud to share that Flix has been recognized by EUPD Group as a Leading Company in the ESG Transparency Award 2025, scoring 87.98/100. This is a strong endorsement of our commitment to evidence-based progress. We know that transparency matters. It builds trust, drives action, and raises the bar across the industry. So, to get this recognition is a great acknowledgement of our teams' hard work.   💚We think travel should be available to everyone regardless of their economic or geographical background, which is why we are really happy to see the progress our teams have made to bring this to life.    Sustainable transport will only become more important in the years to come, and we will continue our steps forward. There is still some way to go, but we are on the right track.

🚀Scaling a business shouldn’t come without mistakes, because that’s where growth happens.   I spoke with Fabian Billing from McKinsey & Company about what it takes to scale a business globally, lead through uncertainty, and, at the same time, transform an industry.   💡One key point that kept coming up was that resilience beats perfection. At Flix, one of our greatest advantages has always been how we approach making mistakes.   🔁We have a mantra of fail fast, learn faster, adapt, implement, and scale it, and it's been one of the keystones in our global expansion that now counts 40+ countries in the world.   🌱We also talked about the mobility industry, and I truly believe that sustainability and affordability can go hand in hand, and that it will only become an even more important selling point for travellers in the future.   Check out the full article linked below and hear my take on how clarity and disciplined focus are more important than chasing new growth opportunities, even as an ambitious early-stage startup. 

One for the books. Meeting His Holiness Pope Leo XIV in person during the Vatican’s Jubilee Year – definitely not your average business trip. At Flix, we’ve always believed in connecting people and places. And sometimes, those connections take you to truly unexpected places. As a small gesture, we handed the Pope a miniature FlixBus and a Flix hoodie – a light-hearted nod to our mission of keeping people moving and connected 😉... When I asked him to wish safe travels to all our passengers around the world, he smiled, said a few kind words, and did exactly that – a moment I’ll never forget. 🙏 humbled, grateful, and still smiling... #Flix #Jubilee #Mobility
