Introduction to ESG and CSRD guidelines
As
2025 approaches, about 4 thousand Italian companies are preparing to face the new ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) and CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) guidelines imposed by the European Union. These regulations, which will take effect in January 2025, will no longer only concern large companies, but will also extend to many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that were not previously obliged to comply with them.
This change represents a significant challenge for SMEs, which need adequate tools to implement effective and economically sustainable sustainability strategies

The launch of Jojob ESG
In this context, Jojob Real Time Carpooling, a leader in the sustainable mobility sector, announced the launch of its new ‘Jojob ESG’ service. This innovative service is designed to support companies, in particular SMEs, in reducing the costs associated with the adoption of sustainable mobility practices, such as corporate carpooling. Jojob ESG will be available throughout the country starting from January 2025 and aims to facilitate the achievement of corporate sustainability objectives, helping to reduce Scope 3 emissions related to employee commuting

Features and benefits of the Jojob ESG service
Through Jojob, employees can publish their home-work routes, find compatible drivers and passengers, such as colleagues or employees of nearby companies, and share the journey. Companies will benefit from an effective monitoring system that complies with the new ESG regulations, with access to data and statistics on environmental and economic savings. In addition, the service offers a flexible payment model, in which companies pay only when an employee makes a shared trip as a passenger, thus contributing to the reduction
of environmental impact.
A step towards sustainability for SMEs
This payment method is particularly advantageous for SMEs and startups, as it reduces the economic risks associated with the adoption of new technologies. Gerard Albertengo, CEO of Jojob, emphasized that “Jojob ESG represents a concrete step towards the adoption of ESG practices in company policies, helping companies to reduce emissions and contribute to environmental sustainability.” This service was presented during the IBE — Intermobility and Bus Expo 2024, highlighting Jojob’s commitment to promoting sustainable mobility and ESG practices within Italian companies

Conclusion
Jojob ESG is proposed as an innovative and accessible solution for all companies, large and small, that want to make a difference in the sustainability landscape. By implementing this service, Italian SMEs can face new regulatory challenges with greater confidence and determination, thus contributing to a more sustainable future
