Joining Forces for a Greener World
As part of its sustainability commitment, Samsara has supported
innovative carbon removal solutions, including Alkali Earth, which
converts alkaline byproducts from industrial processes to
carbon-removing gravel for roads. Samsara is excited to build upon
these investments by participating in two key organizations, both
pioneers advancing decarbonization:
- Frontier, an organization focused on accelerating the
development and availability of carbon removal technologies.
Samsara pledges to support innovations like biomass burial and
direct air capture, which are expected to sequester carbon for over
a millennia.
- Sustainable Aviation Buyers Alliance, an organization
that promotes net-zero aviation through investments in sustainable
aviation fuel (SAF). Samsara’s initial commitment of SAF
certificates will offset 1,600 metric tons of CO2 emissions,
equivalent to the amount of carbon sequestered in one year by about
1,900 acres of forests.
“Sustainability is a core pillar of our mission that influences
our daily operations and strategic planning as we build for the
long term,” said Adam Eltoukhy, Executive Vice President and Chief
Legal Officer at Samsara. “Developing a more sustainable hardware
supply chain and investing in climate innovation is essential to
our net-zero goal. The advancements and resulting impact we’re
making within our operations, and alongside our customers globally,
is inspiring to see firsthand.”
A Year of Impactful Partnership
As the strategic partner to the world’s leading and most complex
physical operations organizations, Samsara offers a unified view to
help customers achieve their sustainability goals and create safer
operations for their workers and communities. Samsara’s Connected
Operations Cloud provides visibility across operations, including
key safety metrics, carbon emissions and electric vehicle fleet
data, and insights into ways to reduce fuel, energy, food, and
paper waste. Samsara estimates that in one year1, it partnered with
customers to help prevent 200,000+ crashes, digitize 240 million+
workflows, and save 3 billion pounds of CO2 from entering the
atmosphere.
“This past year, I’ve been lucky to spend countless hours
discussing safety and sustainability priorities with customers.
While each of their operations are unique, the need for data and
AI-driven insights is universal,” said Sanjit Biswas, CEO and
co-founder at Samsara. “I’m proud of the impact we’re driving with
our customers and of the progress we’re making on our own goals.
We’re building an enduring company, and much like our customers,
we’re using a data-driven approach to continuously better our
operations.”
Sustaining a Commitment to Excellence
The report also highlights advancements made by Samsara in
supply chain sustainability, employee and community impact, and
strong governance, including:
- Building more sustainable products: Samsara is expanding
its use of recycled materials within its hardware and decreasing
single-use plastics within its packaging. The company also holds
its suppliers to a high bar – Samsara’s top three partners have
made Science Based Targets initiative commitments and are
disclosing to the CDP.
- Fostering an exceptional work environment: Samsara
brings people from all backgrounds, viewpoints, and experiences
together to intentionally establish an inclusive environment that
spurs innovation. Samsara was recognized as a leading workplace by
several organizations this past year, including Glassdoor, Great
Place To Work®, and Fast Company.
- Empowering employees to create positive change:
Samsara’s giving arm, Samsara for Good, strives to support the
well-being of communities and society through various social and
environmental measures. This past year, many volunteer events were
completed by employees globally and hundreds of thousands of
dollars were provided to charities. Samsara also became a
supporting member of Brake to help those affected by road incidents
and campaign for safer roads.
- Upholding robust privacy, ethics, and governance
practices: As part of Samsara's commitment to responsible
innovation, privacy and ethics are embedded into every aspect of
the business. The company's Privacy and Ethics Board helps ensure
responsible innovation by evaluating how its technology may
directly or indirectly affect the environment and society. Samsara
also recently elevated its data security and privacy standards by
achieving four industry-leading ISO certifications.
