Each year we aim to enhance our disclosure on Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) matters while monitoring developments in ESG reporting.
l Service Provider Appreciation – We made special efforts this year to recognize and appreciate our trucking, airline, and ocean carrier partners for their hard work in the face of what at times felt like impossible circumstances.
On the environmental front, we recognize that we have the greatest positive impact on the environment when we help our customers eliminate waste and pursue their supply chain transformation strategies.
l Eliminating Waste – Our core business, freight consolidation, involves the combining of multiple different shipments in an efficient manner to maximize space utilization and, consequently, minimize the consumption of resources.
Our business saves money for our customers while being measurably better for the environment.
customers leverage more fuel-efficient fleets and lower carbon routing options precisely because we do not own transportation assets.

Expeditors’ Footprint Expeditors has been implementing Company-wide efforts to reduce our carbon footprint for over a decade.
As a non-asset owning logistics provider, our largest measured source of greenhouse gas emissions comes from the electricity we consume in offices and warehouses.
Our Scope used in our operations, Scope 2 emissions from the electricity we consume in offices and warehouses, and Scope 3 emissions from employee business travel.
Our Green Teams track fuel and electricity usage across facilities through our EMS, and energy usage is estimated at facilities where electricity is included in rent and primary data is not available.
We use our energy and emissions data to pinpoint locations in need of enhanced energysaving programs as well as to complete our annual CDP and EcoVadis responses and fulfill similar requests.
We consider SOx to be immaterial to our overall emissions and thus do not include them in our inventory.
Energy & Emissions As a non-asset based logistics company serving more than and indirectly, Expeditors is committed to reducing our impact on climate.
We have direct opportunities to reduce energy consumption and emissions at Expeditors’ offices and warehouses and indirect opportunities through our relationships with customers and service providers.
We provide supply chain transparency that enables our customers to make informed decisions about their service providers and logistics solutions, including their carbon footprint.
Reducing Electricity Expeditors districts across the globe are implementing local practices to help reduce our emissions.
Several of our districts in China and India have transitioned to more energy-efficient LED lighting and implemented initiatives to reduce electricity consumption through signs and reminders.
*** Scope 3 includes business travel emissions only (excluding Asia, which is not currently measured).
a range of air, ocean and road carriers.
Our flexible footprint and our ability to change locations, modes, and carriers based on evolving operating conditions and customer preferences translate into a model that may be less potentially prone to acute climate-related risks than more asset-heavy models.
Similarly, it is possible that customers will seek out more fuel-efficient routings or options, such as those provided by our consolidation services and multimodal options, which could create opportunities.
and carbon emissions through options such as modal shifts, reducing distances traveled, and consolidating freight to utilize transportation assets more efficiently.
and the environmental footprint of our customers’ supply chains improve.
For example, Expeditors’ Freight Efficiency Score (FES) synthesizes three drivers into a single comprehensive metric to measure the efficiency of the ocean transportation program.
Expeditors’ Green Logistics Solutions offer our customers multiple levels of insight through several different tools.
Summary Report: This tool illustrates emissions across a customer’s network, by mode, geography, and business entity.
l Supply Chain Carbon Diagnostics: This service delivers a more detailed assessment of supply chain flows and carbon emissions, identifying opportunities and recommendations for emissions reductions.
This tool is our most comprehensive approach and guides customers in reducing carbon emissions through overall performance optimization of the supply chain.
As mentioned above, we incorporate the GLEC Framework into our customer carbon emissions methodology and use EcoTransIT, an ENour customers’ transportation-related emissions more accurately.

As Expeditors continues to digitize its operations in what has been traditionally a paper-intensive business, we strive to reduce and recycle our paper along with other waste streams, including computer equipment, food, and everyday waste.
Our Global Business Operations team communicates best practices for waste stream reductions to our district management, who then implement them locally.
We plan to report on additional waste data, such as recycling, waste to landfill, and compost, in the future as this information becomes available.
Paper Reduction Expeditors has a paperless deployment project that is focused on creating a paperless office environment globally.
We utilize various strategies to reduce our paper consumption, including: l Dual monitors at workstations l Web-based workflows for every product l Digital copies of documents l Digital customer invoices These efforts have led to a significant reduction in our global paper use.
Various teams across the world have implemented programs to reduce the consumption of single-use plastics and to collect and recycle items that benefit from coordinated collection, including batteries and cooking oil.
New plastic and electronics are increasingly introduced in the waste stream as the market continues creating “disposable” devices.
To help reduce this waste, Cargo Signal Solutions has implemented a recycling program for lithium metal batteries.
Water Water consumption at our facilities is nonindustrial and used for drinking and sanitation purposes only.
However, a significant number of our operations are in water-sensitive areas.
As such, our Green Teams are empowered to proactively identify water conservation methods based on their facility’s activities and needs.
Past methods include upgrading to automatic sinks and toilets and reducing water used for landscaping.
We track water consumption at continue increasing the number of facilities that report this information.
Districts in our South Asia region had initiatives around electronic waste recycling and carton box and pallet recycling/reuse.
