Initiative 7: Gozem V+ Electric Program

In our quest to be cost-effective for our drivers and have as low


emissions as possible, we have decided to head towards electric
bikes.

Since November 2021, we have started testing different electric


bikes to be able to offer them to our drivers. For more
convenience, we are planning to have recharge points that will
be alimented by solar energy during the day.

By doing so, we significantly decrease our footprint, we enable our


drivers to have more savings as there is a lower maintenance and
they no longer have to pay for gas.

Decrease in gas emission


Increase on savings

Initiative 8: Gozem Champion Academy

Part of our Smiling Champion program, we are building a


training program that will focus on developing our Champions’
skills.

We want to give our driver-partners the opportunity to acquire


more specialized skills, by focusing first on those required to
perform as professionally as possible on the job: customer service
courses and mastering the use of the GPS.

The second phase will add classes that benefit them in the long
run, whether they stay with Gozem or not: financial literacy
courses, fatigue management, job interview preparation
classes…

Not only will these courses empower our Champions, but it will
also guarantee a higher client satisfaction.

Initiative 11: Gozem Graduate Training Program

Graduate rotational programs are a tremendous way to train future leaders and
help them understand thoroughly the key functions of a company. Such programs
give them a view of the entire business and round out their experience.

Our Gozem Graduate Training Program chose African talents coming from the best
local business schools. They follow a thorough training in management and
leadership, so as to become our future heads of departments or contribute to
Gozem’s expansion in other countries.

Through this 2 year rotational program, the graduates will go in-depth into Gozem’s
core values and mission, rotate in each department, receive training and end the
program by becoming one of Gozem’s next top leaders.

Since such programs are rare within sub-Saharan countries, Gozem wants to set the
example and encourage other local businesses to uplift and train new graduates
to become future managers.
