The safety of delivery men and women in traffic is a priority at iFood, which offers various types of support so that everyone can work safely. In 2024, the company created the Vision Zero area to reinforce its road safety actions and prevent accidents involving delivery drivers.
The new area looks at traffic education initiatives for partners and seeks to get closer to public authorities to collaborate on road solutions and create awareness actions about road safety.
With the mission of reducing accidents, the Visão Zero team uses data to test levers that help reduce speed.
