      • Diversity Initiatives: Recommended increasing gender diversity within the company’s leadership and workforce to align with ESG standards.

   4. Implementation Timeline: Created a detailed timeline for the rollout of various strategies over three years, including milestones for monitoring progress and impact assessments.

Impact Created

The project is expected to create significant positive impacts across various domains:

• Environmental Benefits: By promoting electric vehicles, eBikeGo contributes to reduced emissions and a lower carbon footprint, aligning with global sustainability goals.

• Social Responsibility: Engaging local communities and promoting gender diversity enhances social equity and fosters a sense of ownership among stakeholders.

• Economic Growth: The initiative supports local economies through job creation in EV manufacturing and maintenance sectors while also attracting eco-conscious consumers.

• Enhanced Brand Reputation: By prioritizing transparency and sustainability, eBikeGo can strengthen its brand image, attract investors, and gain competitive advantages in the growing EV market.
