Snoonu announced the relaunch of its initiative “No Riders Under the sun”. The company is demonstrating commitment towards putting measures in place to create suitable working conditions for delivery riders as temperatures continue to spike in the country.
Initially launched in July 2021 and now a flagship in Snoonu’s business model, the initiative sets Snoonu as the first and only local tech company to take such strategic measures to protect its riders from the heat of the summer during daytime.
Being a human-centric business, Snoonu puts this concept into action with initiatives that range from ensuring all employees are protected from the sun to the availability of air-conditioned chilling spots throughout the country that are filled with snacks and charging stations offering them a comfortable space to rest between deliveries.
The re-Introduction of “No Riders under the Sun '' means that starting from today, there will be no bike deliveries from 10am to 5pm, as riding conditions during this time put riders at a greater risk of heat strokes, fainting and dehydration, with temperatures set to reach 50 degrees in July. Instead, cars will be exclusively used to serve customers with their orders until the end of the summer season.
Snoonu’s decision showcases the company’s commitment to protect and respect workers by treating them fairly.
Hamad Al Hajri’s, Founder and CEO said: “We enjoy serving our customers and business owners, but this should never be at the expense of our riders' safety, we would never expect them to do things we would not do ourselves. The weather conditions are extremely hot during daytime, and we strive to always protect our riders. I strongly believe that compassion and humanity should be at the heart of everything we do; with this, putting our riders’ health and wellbeing comes before profit. I hope that other companies will be joining our initiative in protecting the riders’ community in Qatar!”
