Deliveroo UAE has announced the winners of its third annual Cautious Rider Award, an initiative dedicated to recognising and rewarding riders who exhibit exceptional road safety standards and responsible riding behaviour. The programme underscores the company’s commitment to fostering a culture of safety within its extensive rider community across the Emirates.
Recognizing and Rewarding Responsibility
As part of the third edition of the awards, a select group of Deliveroo riders received financial rewards and an official certificate of recognition. The selection process evaluates riders based on a comprehensive set of safety-focused criteria, including strict adherence to traffic regulations and consistent responsible conduct throughout the year. This initiative aims not only to reward individual excellence but also to spotlight these riders as positive role models for the wider delivery industry.
Fostering a Culture of Safety
The Cautious Rider Award plays a important role in Deliveroo’s strategy to promote rider well-being and elevate safety standards across its operations. By celebrating exemplary conduct, the company seeks to reinforce the behaviours that contribute to a safer and more sustainable delivery ecosystem.
Yazan Aburaqabeh, Director of Operations at Deliveroo, commented, “Road safety is a fundamental part of how we operate, and throughout the year, we work closely with riders, agencies and authorities to ensure clear, consistent communication and training. The annual Cautious Rider Award reflects our focus on setting clear standards and recognising riders who consistently apply the best practices on the road. By celebrating exemplary conduct, we aim to reinforce behaviours that support a safer and more sustainable delivery ecosystem across the UAE.”
A Broader Commitment to Rider Well-being
Beyond the annual award, Deliveroo invests in a range of well-being initiatives for its riders. These include regular training sessions focused on road safety awareness, best practices, regulatory compliance, and other essential knowledge designed to support them both on and off the road. Through these continuous efforts, Deliveroo is actively working to create a safer environment for its riders and the communities they serve.
