As part of its first focus, “Zero Emissions,” GoTo Group looks to convert 100% of its fleet to electric vehicles and achieve zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2030.
Meanwhile, the company said it generates 335,000 metric tons of waste annually, of which only 1% is from direct operations. With its “Zero Waste” initiative, GoTo Group said it is cutting down on delivery packaging usage, as well as encouraging partners to reduce single-use products and utensils.
For its third commitment, “Zero Barriers,” the company has laid out a strategy for empowering people: attracting the right talent, developing the right skills, and championing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) across its ecosystem.

“Sustainability has always been central to our business model, with ESG considerations at the heart of how we operate and grow as a company,” GoTo Group CEO Andre Soelistyo said in a statement. “The Three Zeros commitments continue to drive our company towards decarbonizing our operations and that of our broader ecosystem.”
Along with the announcement, GoTo Group also released its first sustainability report titled “Empowering Progress,” which includes data from 2021 and touches on issues such as climate action, packaging, governance structure, business ethics, and DEI.
GoTo Group is the largest online ecosystem in Indonesia. It was formed last year via a merger of two unicorn startups: ride-hailing Gojek and marketplace Tokopedia. The company’s businesses include on-demand services, ecommerce, and financial technology.
