Uber’s employee resource groups provide awareness regarding identity and intersectionality, in addition to leadership development opportunities for members.

They work to reimagine the way the world moves for the better and believe that everyone should be empowered to move freely and safely—physically, economically, and socially.

The team fosters and enables a culture of ethical decision-making and guides the Uber workforce to comply with all applicable laws, policies, and regulations.

Uber is a technology company whose mission is to help power the movement of both people and things. To accomplish this, they use proprietary technology to develop and maintain multisided platforms that offer a variety of services to users, including connecting service providers with potential customers.

Uber matches consumers looking for rides with providers of ride services who operate their own independent businesses, as well as with other forms of transportation, including public transit, bikes and scooters. They also connect consumers with restaurants, grocers and other merchants for the purchase of meals, groceries and other items, while matching them with independent delivery service providers. Uber additionally connects shippers with carriers in the freight industry and their technology is available in over 70 countries and cities around the world.

The idea for Uber was born on a snowy night in Paris in 2008, and ever since then, their DNA of reimagination and reinvention carries on. Uber has grown into a global platform moving people and things in ever expanding ways. They’ve gone from rides on 4 wheels to rides on 2 wheels to 18-wheel freight deliveries. From takeout meals to daily essentials to prescription drugs to just about anything one needs at any time. From drivers with background checks to real-time verification, safety is a top priority every single day. At Uber, the pursuit of reimagination is never finished, never stops, and is always just beginning.
