It’s been nearly 2 years since Cruise first joined Pledge 1% to formalize our commitment to local communities via our dedicated social impact program, Cruise for Good. We couldn’t be more excited about the progress we have made so far – and the road ahead!


At Cruise, we strive to ensure our fleet of zero-emission, self-driving vehicles address real community needs by working closely with trusted local partners. Since the onset of the pandemic, Cruise for Good has responded to skyrocketing food insecurity by delivering more than 2.3 million meals to low-income communities in San Francisco through partnerships with the San Francisco-Marin Food Bank and SF New Deal.


When broken down, 2,300,000 meals equates to 142,000+ deliveries, more than 80% of which are delivered to zip codes below the poverty line. Moreover, every meal delivered by Cruise’s zero-emission fleet is powered 100% by renewable energy, offsetting more than 103 metric tons of CO2 emissions.


Tanis Crosby, executive director of the San Francisco-Marin Food Bank - who recently had the chance to take a fully driverless ride in one of our vehicles - articulated the thought that kickstarted it all: “How can we solve problems together and leverage technology to deliver equitable service at scale?’”

 

This question gets at the core of how we approach Cruise for Good.


As we continue to scale our business and enter new markets, our Pledge 1% commitment is a guiding light in how we serve local communities. We emphatically encourage others to join the Pledge 1% movement and leverage their unique assets to be a force for good. Together, we can provide equitable access to much-needed resources for communities across the country.
