Our sustainability vision
Our aspiration is to enable an autonomous world that is sustainable, equitable and that benefits everyone.
We believe that a world enabled and enhanced by location technology will be safer, more efficient, cleaner and more livable. People will enjoy a future of equitable, sustainable mobility. Cities and communities will improve infrastructures in cost-effective and climate-sensitive ways. And together, we will develop solutions to many of the biggest challenges facing humanity today.
The sustainability impact of location
The greenest route
Neste and PTV Group used HERE location data to determine that climate-friendly routing in Helsinki could cut local car CO2 emissions by 80,600 tons per year – roughly equivalent to the annual carbon footprint of 20,000 residents.
Predictive maintenance that avoids blown tires and reduces vehicle emissions
TietoEVRY, Goodyear and HERE joined forces to provide real-time maintenance alerts that can reduce heavy-duty tire failure by 85%, improving road safety and reducing CO2 emissions.
Shorter dwell times and less truck idling
Using location technology from HERE, leogistics’ solutions help customers calculate ETAs, predict bottlenecks and plan accordingly – cutting truck dwell times in yards by up to half.
Cutting air pollution on London’s streets
Bosch Connectory and Transport for London teamed up on a project to monitor and map air pollution levels in Brixton, forecast dispersals based on the weather, and optimize traffic flows to reduce it. They used maps and anonymized traffic flow data from HERE.
