Data Advances Decarbonisation in Connected Transportation: Geotab's Sustainability Report Reveals Progress, Recognises Challenges Ahead
"The climate crisis demands action. The transportation industry is one of the largest sources of CO emissions with a tremendous opportunity in the near term to make a positive impact. As a close partner to that industry, we have a moral obligation to do our part in supporting carbon reduction — not just for ourselves, but for our customers too. This has to be a collaborative approach. There are too many challenges to address and solve in isolation," said Neil Cawse , Founder and CEO of Geotab.
Geotab's greatest impact is in supporting customers and partners to drive transformation through data-driven insights and AI, enabling informed decision-making as they report and track progress on all stages of the sustainability journey. In a recent survey by Geotab, 87% of U.S. fleet professionals expected their cost of business to rise in 2024, and 40% confirmed they use data intelligence to create a more sustainable fleet by flagging and improving fuel economy and idling. Data insights regarding fuel use, better routing, emissions management, better-driving behaviour such as reducing harsh braking, and the integration of EVs into fleets help address cost and improve the bottom line.
As part of its commitment towards a more sustainable world, Geotab has pledged to reach net-zero emissions by 2040 — a decade earlier than called for in the Paris Agreement — and is aiming for a 50% reduction in emissions across Scopes 1, 2 and 3 by 2030.
The latest report shows Geotab has made progress in reducing direct and indirect operational emissions over the past year:
Geotab's report identifies areas of improvement which reflect similar challenges experienced in the industry in general:
This underscores the importance of further collaboration with supply chain partners and manufacturers to achieve comprehensive tracking, from raw materials to end-of-life, and greater use of data insights will also help provide more transparency and understanding in addressing challenges.
"We are proud of the accomplishments we've made so far, but we know there is much further to go if we want to fulfil our journey to net zero, particularly in addressing Scope 3 emissions. We'll be accelerating our pace to tackle Scope 3 targets, and tapping into the power of data, to realise our and our customers' ambitions," added Cawse.
The report was prepared with reference to the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards, as well as the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
To spark industry conversation on data-driven sustainability strategies, Geotab's 2023 Sustainability and Impact Report includes a custom email, so readers can provide feedback on their own challenges and solutions related to sustainability, supply chain and growth.
