, Foodpanda and Deliveroo on Thursday jointly launched an association aimed at strengthening the frameworks, guidelines, and policies supporting delivery staff and merchants.
“It will create solutions that reflect the voices of its delivery partners and merchants, both of whom are core to platform companies’ operations,” said the statement. Food and beverage businesses have turned to food delivery to generate additional revenue, while delivery riders have benefitted from flexible earning opportunities. Such trends will continue to drive digitally-centred economies in Singapore and globally, said the statement.
Apart from tapping on the expertise and experience of each company in the DPIA to support Singapore’s digital economy, the association will also provide upskilling opportunities and strengthen existing health and safety standards for delivery staff and merchants, the statement added.
