The impact of location technology on sustainability
Together with our partners and customers, we are already seeing the tangible impact that HERE location technology can have on the global sustainability agenda. Looking at the UN Sustainable Development Goals – a set of urgent environmental and social goals – we see three areas where we can continue to drive significant positive change.
Reducing emissions
Location technology is a valuable tool in the fight to contain climate change. Fleets, for example, can use our location technology to precisely measure their carbon footprints. They can also rely on better geospatial awareness and routing to reduce emissions on the road – through efficiency, electrification or both.
Making cities smarter and more livable
Cities are growing, but that doesn’t mean they have to be unpleasant and unhealthy places to live. Organizations are using our location technology to tackle perennial challenges such as traffic, pollution and access to mobility.
Building resilient and inclusive infrastructure
Communities cannot thrive without considering their infrastructure. Our location technology can reduce the cost and time needed to maintain and upgrade critical infrastructure such as networks, roads and rails.
Building a world that is sustainable, equitable and benefits everyone
We are committed to meeting our own sustainability goals and we're proud of the businesses that use our platform to reach theirs. HERE supports sustainable transformation across industries, whether it's fleets cutting emissions, cities curbing traffic or carmakers upgrading services for electric vehicles.
How we move our vision forward

Achieving Net-zero
Improving the environment and the well-being of those around us is a responsibility we all share. That is why at HERE, we are committing to Science-Based Targets to achieve net-zero emissions.

Accountability &
Boosting accountability and transparency
HERE recognizes that achieving our ESG goals is a team effort. That is why HERE has established an internal Sustainability Advisory Committee to drive greater accountability and transparency across the organization. The goal of this committee is to foster greater dialogue, visibility and action for ESG topics across all functions of the organization. In addition to our internal efforts, HERE is publishing a wider account of activities externally under the Sustainable Accounting Standards Board reporting process. This is an industry-based set of reporting standards designed for investors and analysts to get a deeper view of our sustainable business activities.
