Zipcar Recognized for its Enduring Impact by Fast Company’s Fourth Annual List of Brands That Matter
BOSTON, December 10, 2024 – Zipcar, the world’s leading car-sharing network, is proud to announce its inclusion in Fast Company’s fourth annual Brands That Matter list in the Enduring Impact: 15+ Years in Business category. The list honors brands and individuals that do not merely create customers but also resonate with individuals and communities in a profound way. Through captivating branding and marketing efforts and a product that aims to not only do well but do good, Zipcar has established cultural relevance and impacted those who need convenient access to a vehicle.
“As we head into our 25th year of providing equitable and sustainable transportation, we are honored to be recognized for our enduring impact by Fast Company,” said Angelo Adams, president of Zipcar. “Zipcar drives impact through our valued partners: our members, cities, universities, and business who help forge social and environmental change through car sharing. Together, we aim to reduce personal car ownership on city streets, lessen congestion and carbon emissions while enabling more space and opportunity for people, not personally owned cars.”
Zipcar members reap the benefits of accessing a vehicle only when they need one – for grocery runs and appointments to visit friends and family or weekend getaways – compared to car owners who rack up the costs and hassles of car payments, maintenance, gas, and parking while also contributing to climate change. New data illustrating the social and environmental impact of car sharing from Zipcar’s annual North American Transportation Survey will be released in 2025.
