Geotab Sustainability and Impact Report
This second edition of the Geotab Sustainability and Impact Report highlights our work to support the transition to low-carbon transportation and make progress on our environmental, social and ethical goals.
Neil Cawse, Founder & CEO of Geotab
As the world-leading commercial telematics platform for connected vehicles and assets, Geotab is unlocking the power of data to build a low-carbon future for a sustainable planet.
Committed to taking climate action
Data and technology are the key to measuring performance and making an impact. This is where Geotab, along with our partners globally, can make a difference — revealing insights from real-world data to help customers reduce emissions and costs while improving operational efficiency. We signed The Climate Pledge, joining a group of companies and organisations that have confirmed their commitment to climate action. The only path to a net-zero carbon future is together.
Our Impact Agenda
Sustainability is at the core of everything we do at Geotab. As a global leader in telematics, we have the opportunity to help address some of the greatest challenges facing the world today, including climate change and road safety. Our Impact Agenda focuses on three areas where we can make the most significant contribution:
Accelerating decarbonisation in the transportation industry
Providing data-driven tools and insights to support fleets along their sustainability journey, and helping them make progress on decarbonising and electrification.
Powering driver and road safety
Connecting businesses and cities to intelligent vehicle and transportation insights to improve driver safety and reduce the risk of collisions.
Advancing progress to net zero through data, research and partnerships
Sharing knowledge and expertise, investing, and collaborating on projects to spark innovation and support efforts towards a low-carbon future.
Our approach to sustainability
As a participant in the UN Global Compact, Geotab aligns its operations and strategies with ten universally accepted principles in the areas of human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption, and is committed to taking action in support of UN goals and issues embodied in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The UN's 17 SDGs are the world's shared plan to end extreme poverty, reduce inequality and protect the planet by 2030. Our sustainability initiatives align with the following SDGs:
Goal 5: Gender equality
Goal 7: Affordable and clean energy
Goal 9: Industry, innovation and infrastructure
Goal 10: Reduced inequalities
Goal 11: Sustainable cities and communities
Goal 12: Responsible consumption and production
Goal 13: Climate action
Goal 16: Peace, justice and strong institutions
Goal 17: Partnerships for the goals
Building sustainable operations globally
Environmental initiatives
We are working to reduce our environmental impact through waste diversion and by procuring EPEAT-certified IT equipment, investing in EV chargers at our offices and other measures.
Creating a positive impact in our communities
Through Geotab Cares and corporate social responsibility initiatives, we partner with organisations to make positive changes in STEM, the environment and road safety.
Diversity, equity and inclusion
At Geotab, we are working together for an accessible and globally diverse, equitable and inclusive culture where differences drive innovative solutions.
Navigating our way to zero emissions
Understanding the urgency of climate action, Geotab has set a target to achieve net-zero emissions by 2040 — a decade earlier than called for in the Paris Agreement. Geotab is navigating towards a 50% reduction in emissions across Scopes 1, 2 and 3 by 2030, with the ultimate goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2040.
Science-based climate targets
To achieve our net-zero target, we are working collectively with other organisations around the world to rethink and redefine our actions so we can leave the world better than we found it. We are committed to reducing emissions across the entire value chain and have set science-based targets. Geotab has had its emissions reduction targets approved by the Science Based Targets initiative.
Reducing carbon emissions
Our total carbon emissions decreased by 14% from 2019 to 2021. Geotab is lowering greenhouse gas emissions through innovative programmes to reduce employee commuting and travel, including the Electric Vehicle Incentive Programme and Public Transportation Reimbursement, and new business travel guidelines, in addition to our flexible-first model for remote working.
