Corporate social responsibility
Powering meaningful change through innovation.
We understand that community involvement counts, which is why we choose to lead by example
Geotab has--since its inception--abided by the adage of always doing the right thing. As such, Geotab encourages and supports community involvement through a wide range of company-sponsored programs and initiatives. These efforts have been designed to positively impact our communities by working to create a better place for everyone to live.

Safety: Continuously enhancing technology to create safer roads
At Geotab, we strongly believe in the power that technology has to create positive change, especially in the area of driver safety. However, we also want to call attention to the importance of being aware while using technology, in particular when walking and driving.
Public awareness
Geotab promotes safety for both drivers and pedestrians through it’s Responsibility on Both Sides of the Wheel initiative. This initiative encourages pedestrians and drivers to focus on the road and keep their #PhonesDownEyesUp.
Safety organisation memberships
Geotab is a member of Together for Safer Roads and Vision Zero. These safety organisations bring companies together while utilising their unique assets in order to advance best practices and create a world where roads are safer for all people.
Educational programs
Education is critical to support change. Geotab presents at local high schools to raise awareness about the dangers of distracted driving and walking.
Environment: Helping businesses reduce their carbon footprint
We take a comprehensive approach to environmental responsibility. We invest our efforts into preserving the earth's natural resources through constant innovation and the efficient use of materials in our daily productions. Our advanced telematics technology and solutions make it possible for businesses to minimise their environmental footprint, by helping them reduce fuel consumption, lower CO2 emissions, optimise routing, reduce idling and aggressive driving and maintain optimal vehicle engine performance.
Employee initiatives
Geotab employees participate in environmental clean up initiatives in their local communities, as well as engage in sustainable office practices such as utilising reusable notebooks and water bottles.
Electric vehicle advocates
Our offices are equipped with electric vehicle (EV) charging stations to promote the use of eco-friendly vehicles. Furthermore, Geotab has rolled out an Electric Vehicle Incentive Program to subsidise the cost of EVs for our employees.
Recycling program
We’re committed to producing as little waste as possible. This means using recyclable/compostable promotional products, recycling all the electronic components used in our daily production and reusing any packing materials delivered to our offices.
Commuter benefits
We believe in getting our employees to work with the smallest carbon footprint possible. As such, we offer a 100% reimbursement program for employee transit costs.
