Living Our Purpose

Saving Lives, Preventing Injuries & Making Fleets More Productive

At Safe Fleet, we recognize our responsibility to the communities we operate in. This perspective informs our operations, business practices, and relationships throughout the world. Caring about our communities matters to our 1900+ employees who are united in one core purpose – Saving Lives, Preventing Injuries, and Making Fleets More Productive.

We care about the people and care about the locations we operate in. We add value when we are part of the community, part of every market we serve.

Our 2023 Social Impact At-A-Glance

2023 Social Impact Report Highlights

Protecting & Advancing Safety

MOBILEMULE AI

Safe Fleet launched the MobileMule AI in March 2023. The AI system is powered by machine learning and has a dual dash-cam that monitors drivers for signs of distraction. It issues alerts when it detects any such signs. MobileMule AI uses AI to determine the appropriate alert and also ensures that the driver’s identity is protected by blurring or blocking their image.

Distracted driving is a huge problem. It doesn’t just affect a driver or fleet, it affects everyone on the road.

Promoting Health, Safety & Well-being in Our Workplace

THE SAFE FLEET SAFETY ABSOLUTES

Ensuring a safe workplace requires safety to be an integral part of the management process and all other processes, right down to the front lines of every Safe Fleet business unit. Each manufacturing facility strictly adheres to a comprehensive safety and environmental program that aims to achieve zero safety incidents across the company. This is a daily, intentional call-to-action that emphasizes that ‘safety is our first name and our top priority.’

Driving Safety Forward for our customers is only possible when we drive safety forward at home.

Fostering an Ethical Culture of Compliance & Risk Management

FORTIFYING THE FRONT LINES WITH CYBERSECURITY TRAINING

At Safe Fleet, we take cybersecurity very seriously. That’s why every employee is required to complete and pass the cybersecurity training using KnowBe4 – the world’s largest integrated platform for security awareness training. As part of the training, every employee is also subjected to a simulated phishing attack every month. This helps to combat increasingly sophisticated and complex external cyberattacks. Furthermore, we’ve implemented a Phish Alert button on our email program, which has already proven effective in raising awareness of phishing and helping to isolate and stop attacks more efficiently.

With the help of this program, Safe Fleet employees are averaging a consistent 3.5-3.6% phishability factor vs the industry average of 5.8%.

Always Innovating – Continuous Improvement

PRESIDENT’S KAIZENS

Every year, we conduct a President’s Kaizen to demonstrate the need for change in order to achieve a standard of excellence, challenge the culture to change, and create an impact in a short amount of time. In May 2023, the President’s Kaizen was held in Eagan, MN, with a focus on improving the assembly manufacturing processes of the plant. Utilizing Safe Fleet Lean tools, the team was able to significantly improve the touch time for the ErgoRack assembly process and streamline the assembly processes.

The key to being performance-minded, is not to beat people over the head to do better, but provide the tools and processes to improve every day.

Driving Societal Change Through Community Involvement

WELCOME HOUSE PARTNERSHIP

Safe Fleet is a proud supporter of the Welcome House – a residential sober-living facility that works with adult men from all walks of life who are recovering from substance abuse. Employment is a significant contributor to each person’s recovery. Earning a paycheck helps build a sense of value and accomplishment. To offer these opportunities, Safe Fleet regularly conducts presentations at Welcome House, offering work to interested individuals.

One major barrier for those in recovery is the loss of their driver’s licenses. Safe Fleet is the only supporter who provides transportation services to our program members.

Growing Our Environmental Stewardship

SETTING GOALS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY

Safe Fleet is developing a framework for operating our manufacturing facilities more sustainably, to provide environmental, economic, and broader societal benefits. Our sustainability goals include:

  • Minimizing our carbon footprints
  • Reduce our energy consumption
  • Prevent pollution
  • Increase productivity and innovation

We expect our efforts to reduce three Safe Fleet sites’ 3rd-party waste removal requirements from 59,000 to only 4,000 gallons annually.
