Profitable Sustainability: Practical Solutions That Cut Costs and Reduce Environmental Impact

Geotab 2024 sustainability report finds that cost and efficiency are the main drivers of action

LONDON, March 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Companies are more likely to adopt sustainable initiatives if they realise cost savings, efficiency improvements, or revenue growth in the near term. That’s the thesis put forward by Geotab Inc. and its affiliates (“Geotab”), a global leader in connected vehicle and asset solutions, in its fourth annual Sustainability and Impact Report, published today.

A recent report by the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) found that the net zero sector is growing three times faster than the overall UK economy. Yet, this growth needs to be felt at an operational level and today’s economic realities demand a change in how we approach sustainability. There has been a significant shift from long-term aspirations, to more immediate, tangible results that improve the bottom line while reducing environmental impact.

“Sustainability can drive both cost savings and efficiency,” said Neil Cawse, Founder and CEO of Geotab. “When these initiatives are integrated into everyday business operations, they naturally reduce environmental impact while boosting the bottom line. It’s a clear win-win, and hard to oppose once you see the value.”

Entitled “Pragmatic Solutions for a Changing World”, Geotab’s 2024 sustainability and impact report highlights how Geotab increased deployment of its sustainability solutions by 39% last year, with the number of electric vehicles connected to Geotab telematics growing by 63% and travelling over 700 million miles (over 1 billion kilometers).

The report also shows how the companies that implemented sustainable practices through Geotab and its partners benefitted from short-term financial gains. For example:

California Freight, a multi-modal transportation company with a fleet of over 300 trucks, has been able to reduce fuel costs by approximately £40,000 per annum by introducing idling reporting into its operations. That money has been re-invested into developing their own APIs for accident reporting and notification.

As the market leader in local transport throughout Germany, DB Regio operates more than 10,000 buses in over 400 districts and self-governing cities. Its use of telematics has not only resulted in a CO2 reduction of approximately 1,400 tons, but reduced energy costs and saved several hundred thousand liters of diesel per year.

Insights from the Geotab’s EV Suitability Assessment (EVSA) were used to decide which of United Utilities’ vehicles were right to move from ICE to electric, and to understand the cost savings. Fuel economy increased by 35%, and emissions per vehicle fell by 26% as a result of the insights provided.

How Geotab Supports Customer Sustainability Goals

Celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, Geotab is dedicated to providing businesses with data-driven tools that deliver short-term operational improvements and measurable environmental benefits. This technology can streamline operations, reduce waste, and improve overall efficiency, contributing to both financial and environmental sustainability.

“At Geotab, we’re focused on empowering customers with data-driven solutions that translate into real-world efficiency gains. Whether it’s optimising routes, minimising fuel consumption, or strategically transitioning to electric vehicles, these actions directly reduce operational expenses while supporting environmental goals,” added Cawse.

Geotab continues to innovate, developing tools like the Sustainability Center, TÜV Rheinland® certified Greenhouse Gas Emissions Report, EV Charge Monitoring, and EV Suitability Assessment (EVSA), all designed to help customers achieve their sustainability objectives through practical, cost-effective solutions.

Lunai Bioworks Announces Receipt of Nasdaq Determination and Intention to Voluntarily Delist and Deregister

Published

on

By

SACRAMENTO, Calif., Oct. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Lunai Bioworks Inc. (Nasdaq: LNAI) (the “Company”) announced that on October 21, 2026, it received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) stating that the Company no longer complies with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires minimum stockholders’ equity of $2,500,000. The Company reported a stockholders’ deficit of $(9,024,946) in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, and does not meet the alternative market value of listed securities or net income standards. Because the Company is subject to a mandatory Hearings Panel Monitor under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(B), Nasdaq staff determined to delist the Company’s securities. Trading in the Company’s common stock on Nasdaq is expected to be suspended at the opening of business on October 30, 2026.

The Company will not request a hearing. Rather than contest the staff determination, the Company’s Board of Directors approved on October 22, 2026 the voluntary withdrawal of the Company’s common stock from listing on Nasdaq under Rule 12d2-2(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Board took this action because of the staff determination and the Company’s financial condition, and concluded that the cost of continued listing and SEC reporting is not justified.

The Company notified Nasdaq of its intention on October 22, 2026. The Company intends to file a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on or about November 2, 2026, and expects the delisting to become effective on or about November 12, 2026. The Company then intends to file a Form 15 to suspend its SEC reporting obligations, to the extent it is eligible to do so. The Company’s SEC reporting obligations will continue unless and until they are terminated or suspended in accordance with the SEC’s rules.

The Company does not intend to arrange for quotation of its common stock on any over-the-counter market and cannot assure that any trading market for its common stock will exist after trading on Nasdaq is suspended.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the expected suspension of trading, the expected timing of the Form 25 and Form 15 filings, and the expected timing of delisting and deregistration. Actual results may differ materially due to risks and uncertainties, including Nasdaq and SEC procedures and the Company’s financial condition. The Company undertakes no obligation to update these statements, except as required by law.
