Environmental sustainability continues to shape how global supply chains operate, and Expeditors has made meaningful progress toward reducing our environmental impact while strengthening our support for customers, service providers, and communities worldwide.

This past year marked an important milestone in our sustainability journey. Through focused effort across governance, social responsibility, and environmental action, we delivered measurable results and laid the groundwork for what comes next.

 

 

Progress at a Glance

Our sustainability efforts reflect years of intentional work across our global network. Through this work, Expeditors met its previous environmental targets and continued to strengthen the systems and partnerships that support responsible logistics.

These achievements were guided by strong governance practices that ensured transparency and accountability in how we set goals, track progress, and report results. At the same time, our people‑first culture remained central, supporting employees, working closely with service providers, and collaborating with customers to navigate evolving sustainability expectations.

Meeting Our Goals, and Setting New Ones

Expeditors exceeded its previous greenhouse gas emissions reduction goal by a wide margin, reinforcing the value of steady, operationally grounded progress. Building on that momentum, we established a new, science‑aligned emissions reduction target, designed to be both ambitious and achievable.

This goal was developed with careful consideration of our non‑asset‑based business model and where we can make the greatest impact. Rather than focusing on one‑off solutions, our approach emphasizes long‑term change informed by data, partnerships, and real operational insight.

Turning Commitments Into Action

Our environmental strategy focuses on tangible actions that contribute to measurable progress, including:

  • Expanding the use of more sustainable fuel options where available

  • Strengthening service provider management and collaboration

  • Improving how we measure, track, and transparently report emissions

Together, these efforts support customers at different stages of their sustainability journeys while reinforcing our commitment to transparency, continuous improvement, and long‑term progress across global supply chains.
