Renting can become a sustainable lifestyle. We are not just convinced, we are also committed to making this a reality!
Chimpy was founded as a start-up in 2013, and we have since grown and evolved organically. Our expansion has occurred at our headquarters in Zurich-Altstetten and into nearby countries. Despite these changes, our primary objectives and beliefs have always remained the same. We are committed to providing the best service for those who run out of battery on the go, and we strive to make our daily work and operations as resource-efficient as possible.

How Chimpy Avoids CO2 Emissions
How Chimpy Avoids CO2 Emissions
We care
We care
100% Powered by Renewables
We produce solar power to recharge our powerbanks. We also power our operations, offices, and logistics fleet entirely with solar energy.
Circular by Re-Using
We maximize the reuse cycles of our powerbanks by cleaning them after each rental and applying stickers to those with permanent marks.
Low-Emission Logistics
We use only solar-charged e-bikes for local deliveries and prioritize low-emission options for third-party logistics.
No Waste
We use 100% durable goods, no or recycled packaging and we upcycle or recycle 100% of our products at the end of their lifecycle.
Avoid
We choose trains over flights, don't use air conditioning and equip our offices with second-hand furniture. In every decision we make, we strive to find a sustainable alternative.
Offset Residual Emissions
Although we are avoiding and reducing emissions, some residual emissions remain. We offset our CO2 emissions with local climate capture projects.
