Video-based safety solutions
Our safety solutions allow customers to view, analyze, and archive videos. We utilize proprietary AI embedded in our IoT dash cams to detect safety events in real time. By detecting risky behaviors like distracted driving, harsh braking, or tailgating, our system can alert drivers with in-cab audio alerts while video is stored in the cloud to provide personalized driver coaching. In addition, our Site Visibility application can identify unusual activity or workplace hazards.

Operating sustainably
Sustainable headquarters
Our headquarters at 1 De Haro street is the first cross-laminated timber (CLT) building in San Francisco. CLT structural panels offer dimensional stability that’s superior to conventional framing, with a significantly smaller carbon footprint. Spanning four floors, our workspace includes onsite ENERGY STAR certified electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE), a designated bicycle storage facility, and a Renewable Energy Generation System with a rooftop solar panel system.
Samsara partnered with CleanPowerSF to power our headquarters with 100% renewable energy. By switching completely to renewable energy, we’re proud to invest in our community by supporting clean energy infrastructure and green jobs.
Building a sustainable hardware supply chain.
We continue to gather sustainability data from our top suppliers to ensure that we are building a resilient and sustainable supply chain. Our top 3 partners have all made SBTi commitments and are currently disclosing to the CDP. Our top 10 suppliers are all International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 14001 certified.
Over the last year, we’ve made improvements to help us build products more sustainably, including:
Using recycled materials in our products
We successfully tested and qualified 50% post-consumer resin (PCR) for some of our parts in our Vehicle Gateway to reduce our reliance on plastic. We plan on expanding our access and use of recycled materials in future hardware programs.
Decreasing use of single-use plastics
On our Vehicle Gateway product, we removed our single-use plastic bag in the packaging and reduced our reliance on plastic.
Manufacturing with renewable energy
We made commitments to partner with manufacturing facilities that are powered by partial renewable energy. We plan to continue to find ways to expand renewable energy use across manufacturing facilities we work with.
Move to zero waste in manufacturing
We engaged a new manufacturing facility partner that received a zero-waste certification. We will continue to qualify other factories and products to be manufactured at zero-waste facilities.
Carbon accounting
We are beginning to refine our carbon accounting practices and are developing full life cycle assessments of our hardware products and packaging. This will allow us to further understand which part of the supply chain is generating the most carbon.
Shift to ocean freight
To reduce our carbon footprint, we continue to shift away from air shipments as a primary form of transportation for our devices, focusing on sea transport. In our last fiscal year, we improved our annual average sea shipment rate by 41%. By the last quarter of our last fiscal year, we increased our ocean shipment volume with a sea shipment rate of 78% of total units shipped.
