  . The founders and CEOs of four leading EU tech companies have decided to work together on a European model for 
    platform work, with specific commitments and recommendations to governments 
  . The initiative, known as the European Purpose Project, builds and expands on the previously drafted Statement of 
    Principles by Delivery Hero, Bolt, Glovo and Wolt 
  . In a first-ever industry-led consultation, there is a call for public input for the drafting of a code of conduct 
    and a playbook of best regulatory practices from June to August 2021 
Berlin, Tallinn, Barcelona, Helsinki, 8 June 2021 - European technology companies Delivery Hero, Bolt, Glovo, and Wolt 
announce a reinforced commitment to work together for better regulation of platform companies in Europe. Following a 
Founder summit that took place on 31 May 2021, Delivery Hero, Bolt, Glovo, and Wolt are leading the European Purpose 
Project in a joint effort and pledge to make a positive societal impact. The goal is to work together on a European 
model for platform work with specific commitments and recommendations to governments. There is now a call for public 
input from June to August for the project. 
The European Purpose Project is a collaborative effort where any interested party, stakeholder or citizen can share 
their ideas about what the future of platforms should look like on the website. The project builds on the positive 
reception from policy experts on the aforementioned Statement of Principles, which was co-signed by Delivery Hero, 
Bolt, Glovo, and Wolt in December 2020. Interested parties can join the consultation process and contribute input via 
the website www.europeanpurpose.com. 
In addition, the founders of Delivery Hero, Bolt, Glovo and Wolt committed to creating a code of conduct, as well as a 
playbook of best corporate and regulatory practices for the platform economy. These documents are intended to be 
prepared by 1 September 2021 to support existing regulatory processes at EU level. As the first-ever industry-led 
consultation, public input for a code of conduct and a playbook of best regulatory practices will be collected over 
three months from June to August 2021. 
Niklas Östberg, Co-Founder and CEO of Delivery Hero, said: "Delivery Hero strives to make a positive impact in the 
cities and countries in which we operate. We believe in the power of using tech for good, staying true to our company 
values of aiming higher, delivering solutions and care. Together with Bolt, Glovo and Wolt, we now invite other 
European tech companies to join the conversation and help shape the future of platform regulation together." 
Markus Villig, Co-Founder & CEO of Bolt, said: "Platform work and the platform economy are the source for innovation, 
employment and economic growth. In order for these benefits to emerge, it is necessary to develop an ecosystem around 
these platforms that mirrors the essential European values. Bolt is committed to playing a leading role in this 
development and being a part of creating a strong industry voice of delivery platforms that echoes these values." 
Sacha Michaud, Co-Founder of Glovo, said: "At Glovo, we have always strived for a fairer gig economy. We have taken the 
initiative with the European Purpose Project because it allows us to design a better system for all. Together, we want 
to establish better governance of working conditions, labour practices and social rights for all workers, regardless of 
their employment status. We need regulation that recognizes the unique output and benefits of the digital economy for 
all, and we invite other companies to join us and be a part of this important conversation." 
Miki Kuusi, Founder & CEO of Wolt, said: "At Wolt, we've been actively participating in dialogue with policymakers both 
in our countries of operation and at the EU-level. We're glad to collaborate with fellow companies in our industry to 
work on the EU-level to set clearer regulation and rules for all players - ultimately with the aim of improving safety 
nets for platform workers while maintaining the flexibility and freedom the people who work with us enjoy." 
The four companies strongly encourage anyone who cares about this initiative to contribute via the website 
www.europeanpurpose.com or to get in touch via email [e-mail].
