Reducing our carbon footprint
Geotab recognizes the importance of reducing our carbon footprint to protect the planet. We are actively working towards minimizing our environmental impact by measuring and analyzing our carbon footprint on different levels including: global supply chain, transportation and distribution of products, our facilities, use of sold products, business travel and staff commuting. Our recycling initiatives will help accelerate this goal and ultimately contribute to the overall sustainability of our products. We have also committed to science based targets to continuously reduce our emissions and to eventually reach net zero by 2050.
