Yango Group has published its first-ever Impact Report, outlining the economic, social and environmental footprint of the global technology company across more than 30 countries, with a strong focus on emerging markets.
According to the report, partners operating on Yango-enabled platforms collectively earned over US$4 billion, underscoring the company’s role in creating income opportunities for thousands of drivers, couriers, entrepreneurs and small businesses within its digital ecosystem. The company said the figure reflects its broader strategy of building inclusive platforms that enable local economic participation rather than extractive growth.
The Impact Report introduces a long-term framework for measuring Yango Group’s contribution to society, detailing how its mobility, e-commerce, fintech and digital services support job creation, skills development and local innovation. The company emphasised that its model prioritises partnerships with local operators, allowing solutions to be adapted to regional needs and economic realities.
A major highlight of the report is Yango Group’s expanding investment in education and talent development, particularly in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). In Africa, the company has launched the Yango Fellowship, an initiative aimed at identifying, training and supporting young tech talents through mentorship, funding opportunities and access to global expertise. The programme is designed to strengthen local digital capacity and prepare the next generation of engineers, data scientists and entrepreneurs.
Beyond economic impact, the report also addresses Yango Group’s environmental commitments, including efforts to improve operational efficiency, support cleaner transport solutions and encourage responsible business practices across its markets. While acknowledging the challenges of operating at scale in diverse regulatory and infrastructure environments, the company said sustainability considerations are increasingly integrated into product design and partnerships.
Yango Group noted that publishing the Impact Report marks a shift toward greater transparency and accountability, as it seeks to align growth with measurable social value. The company said future reports will track progress against defined benchmarks, offering stakeholders clearer insight into how its platforms contribute to long-term development outcomes.
With its footprint continuing to expand across Africa, the Middle East, Asia and parts of Latin America, Yango Group positions the report as both a reflection of its current impact and a roadmap for how technology-driven businesses can support inclusive growth in emerging economies.
