Eco Mensajería

Eco Mensajería pioneers in sustainable last mile delivery, creating formal jobs and a fair network of independent deliveries with carbon neutral mobility for vulnerable men and women.

Eco Mensajería operates a sustainable last-mile delivery service mainly powered by a fleet of electric motorcycles across 20 cities. It is the only courier service in the region with the option to formally employ its riders, offering stable income, digital financial access, and inclusive benefits like life and health insurance.

Their value-driven solution enables a sustainable economy and carbon neutral value chain to reduce CO2 emissions, noise, water and air pollution in cities, facilitating both economic participation and climate action from those at the very bottom of the pyramid.

How they are addressing Climate Change

Climate Mitigation

  • Eco Mensajería has avoided over 3.3 million kilograms of CO2e by replacing gasoline-powered vehicles with electric motorcycles across 20 cities. This shift has also eliminated the consumption of over 11.5 million kWh and avoided contamination of 2.56 million gallons of water by eliminating oil use, contributing to cleaner air, quieter streets, and healthier urban ecosystems.

Climate Adaptation

  • By building a carbon-neutral last-mile delivery service, Eco Mensajería helps cities reduce their exposure to environmental risks like air and water pollution. Their electric fleet and sustainable logistics model reduce urban heat, improve air quality, and strengthen the resilience of low-income communities to climate-related health and economic shocks.

 

How they are creating Shared Economic Prosperity

Economic Wellbeing

  • Eco Mensajería has created over 1,000 formal green jobs, offering stable income, digital payments, and benefits like life and health insurance—an uncommon standard in the informal courier sector. Through the “Super Delivery” network and vehicle ownership schemes, the company improves quality of life and income generation for vulnerable workers.

Equity and Access

  • Its inclusive employment model provides formal jobs and independent contracts for people historically excluded from the labor market. Over 340 full-time riders have received wages, insurance, and access to bank accounts—often for the first time— bridging gender and income gaps in urban mobility and logistics.

Economic Resilience

  • Eco Mensajería’s flexible job structures and vehicle ownership incentives build long-term economic security for workers. Their courier model shields riders from exploitative gig work norms by offering dignified, consistent employment. Access to electric vehicles reduces workers’ fuel dependency and exposure to price volatility.

Financial Inclusion

  • Each formal job includes digital wage payment and requires a bank account, introducing hundreds of workers to the financial system for the first time. Riders gain access to loans and savings products, unlocking new pathways for economic advancement. The company’s vehicle ownership programme doubles as a savings and credit mechanism.
