TORONTO ZOO ANNOUNCES FACEDRIVE AS A SUSTAINABLE RIDESHARE PARTNER FOR ITS SCENIC SAFARI DRIVE-THRU EXPERIENCE

TORONTO, ON – Wednesday, July 15, 2020 – Facedrive Inc. (“Facedrive”) (TSXV: FD), a “people-and-planet first” eco-friendly rideshare, is pleased to announce a partnership with the Toronto Zoo’s Scenic Drive-Thru Safari as the sustainable rideshare partner. Guests will be able to purchase exclusive “Eco-Safari Experience” tickets, which will include Toronto Zoo Scenic Safari passes and Facedrive rides to and from the Toronto Zoo. The tickets will be available on the Facedrive Marketplace website.

Amid the pandemic, the Toronto Zoo announced the opening of a new drive-thru model for visitors to enjoy the Zoo from the safety of their own vehicle.  Since its opening on May 23, 2020, the model has received overwhelming support among Torontonians and allowed the Zoo to welcome an average of 1,100 vehicles a day. The partnership between Facedrive and the Toronto Zoo is aimed at extending the offer to the visitors who don’t have or want to use their own vehicle.

“Toronto’s Zoo is always looking for new and exciting ways to make experiences more accessible to our community. This innovative partnership with Facedrive provides another opportunity for our guests to enjoy their Zoo from the safety of their vehicles,” said Dolf DeJong, Chief Executive Officer, Toronto Zoo.

Facedrive’s “people-and-planet-first” business model is designed to offset carbon emissions for every ride taken in hybrid and gasoline-powered vehicles, which is achieved by planting trees in the areas where the platform is operating. Facedrive’s innovative, state-of-the-art, in-app algorithm calculates estimated CO2 emissions for each car journey and allocates a monetary value to local organizations to plant trees. Last year alone, Facedrive planted over 3,500 trees together with Forests Ontario, its local planting partner in Toronto and the GTA. Facedrive’s ESG (environmental, social and governance) mandate will allow visitors to enjoy a local attraction in a more sustainable and ethical way.

“We are thrilled to announce the partnership with the Toronto Zoo on its inaugural Scenic Safari Drive-Thru experience. It will allow guests to access our Zoo’s full viewing experience with the help of Facedrive’s eco-friendly rideshare platform in order and in line with our commitment to protect and preserve our planet,” said Facedrive’s Chief Executive Officer Sayan Navaratnam.

“At Facedrive, we believe that every little thing one does to help the planet adds up. We can collectively work together to make a difference by doing simple things such as choosing sustainable transportation options. It is through these contributions to both people and the planet that Facedrive seeks to position itself as a rideshare platform of choice for the environmentally-conscious consumer,” added Navaratnam.
