Flix Publishes 2024 ESG Report: Advancing Transparency and Climate Action in Long-Distance Travel

Flix SE, a global travel-tech leader, has published its third voluntary Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Report, reinforcing its commitment to responsible business conduct and transparency. Although not yet subject to mandatory sustainability reporting under the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), Flix is aligning its disclosures early by preparing its latest report in line with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). 

The report outlines how Flix is addressing its environmental and social impacts across its global value chain, alongside developments in governance, risk oversight, and stakeholder engagement.  

“As Flix continues to grow, it’s essential that we grow responsibly,” said André Schwämmlein, CEO and Co-Founder of Flix SE. “This report is part of how we hold ourselves accountable—not just to regulators or partners, but to every person who travels with us or works with us. It is also a tool to evaluate where we stand and where we need to do better.” 

2024 ESG Report includes over 200 indicators. Main highlights are:  

• A comprehensive overview of Flix’s climate pathway, including short-term emission reduction targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), and pilot programs with electric and biofuel buses. 
• New information on social aspects, including the engagement with affected communities and employees, with a strong Employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS) of 37, placing Flix significantly above the industry average. 
• New disclosure on the company’s governance framework, including how ESG topics are integrated into board-level decision-making and management incentives. 

The report is grounded in a double materiality assessment, a key requirement under upcoming EU legislation, which examines both the impact of Flix’s operations on society and the environment, and the financial implications of sustainability-related risks and opportunities for the company. 

By adopting this framework early, Flix is both increasing internal readiness for upcoming regulatory obligations and contributing to a more transparent and comparable ESG landscape within its industry, partners, and regulators.  

Flix is available in 44 countries and recently launched services in Mexico. FlixBus, a part of the Flix group, offers coach travel to over 80 UK destinations.
