Geotab Honored as a Leader in Sustainable Electronics Procurement with a 2025 EPEAT Purchaser Award
EPEAT award winners have cut over 500,000 metric tons of CO2 eq. collectively, reducing the impact of technology on the environment.
OAKVILLE, ON, June 27, 2025 /CNW/ - Geotab Inc. ("Geotab"), a global leader in connected vehicle solutions and asset management, has been recognized as a 2025 EPEAT Purchaser Award winner. The award comes from the Global Electronics Council (GEC), the non-profit organization that manages the EPEAT ecolabel. EPEAT allows Geotab to efficiently address the lifecycle impacts of the electronics we purchase, such as computers, displays and mobile phones.
Through EPEAT purchases last year, Geotab saved 49,000 kilograms of CO2 equivalents (kgCO2e) in GHG emissions, equivalent to taking 11 cars off the road for a year, and achieved energy savings of 200,000 kWh, equal to the average electricity consumption of 18 average U.S. households.
"Sustainable procurement is a cornerstone of our commitment to environmental stewardship and social responsibility," said Jordan De Jong, Vice President, Operations at Geotab. "Beyond managing risk and increasing efficiency, it allows us to actively reduce our environmental footprint, drive positive social impact throughout our supply chain, and accelerate our journey towards a more sustainable, safe, and net-zero carbon future. Receiving an EPEAT Purchaser Award underscores Geotab's dedication to these critical goals."
With electronic waste becoming one of the fastest growing sources of waste globally — over 60 million tonnes produced annually with less than a quarter collected and recycled — responsible procurement is more critical than ever. These products are more energy efficient, less toxic, longer lasting, and easier to recycle than products that do not meet EPEAT criteria while addressing labor and human rights issues along the entire supply chain. Buying these sustainable products ensures that Geotab's technology choices align with rigorous social and environmental standards, from raw material extraction to end-of-life.
Geotab's sustainable procurement delivers tangible results
Geotab's comprehensive sustainable procurement strategy and robust waste management practices have yielded significant environmental benefits:
- Over 8,000 kg of non-hazardous waste saved
- 86.5% of waste diverted from landfill (global headquarters)
- Increased energy efficiency
- Promoted responsible recycling of Geotab products
The 2025 EPEAT Purchaser Award reinforces Geotab's ongoing efforts to drive meaningful progress towards its environmental goals through responsible procurement choices.
