In North America, our driver training schools are a major contributor to our superior record of road safety. Led by veteran XPO drivers, our training schools not only prepare new drivers to earn a Class-A License, but also immerse them in our safety practices and culture of caution.

In 2021, we launched a new professional development program, XPO Rise, to strengthen our pipeline of employees who have the potential to move into executive roles across XPO.

As a top provider of asset-based LTL services in North America and the owner of one of the largest road fleets in Europe, we have a responsibility to lead the industry in innovation and sustainability. We continue to focus on reducing our carbon footprint as well as improving the overall efficiency of all resources we consume.

We maintain a rewarding work environment, grounded in a strong governance structure, that allows employees to build the careers they choose. We encourage open communication, champion integrity, celebrate individuality and cultivate a diversity of talents and perspectives.

We're focused on managing and reducing our GHG emissions through a combination of initiatives, including an upgraded fuel management system, adoption of alternative fuels and investments in electric vehicles and equipment upgrades. As a result, we've been successful in reducing our total Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions since 2018.

Employee feedback contributes substantially to how XPO tailors workplace policies, job opportunities, benefit programs and more. We’re continually seeking the best ways to serve the needs of employees and their families.

Our strong governance structure, including a diverse board of directors with independent committees, serves to reinforce our commitment to operating with integrity.

While the business impact of COVID-19 moderated in 2021, there was an ongoing emotional and physical toll on employees. We maintained our diligence in safeguarding employee safety, while also meeting the ongoing demands for transportation and logistics services around the world.
