XPO, a leading provider of innovative and sustainable logistics solutions across Europe, has earned the prestigious EcoVadis Gold Medal for its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) performance in 2024. This marks a significant advancement from the Silver Medal, which XPO held for four consecutive years. The company’s leap to the 97th percentile highlights its exceptional performance in a highly competitive environment, placing XPO among the top 3% of all companies assessed globally and the top 1% of road transport firms in Europe.
Luis Gómez, President of XPO Logistics – Europe, expressed his pride, stating, “Achieving the EcoVadis Gold Medal reflects XPO’s unwavering commitment to improving our operational practices and sustainability efforts. This recognition underscores our leadership in sustainable logistics, as we continually strive to exceed the expectations of our customers, partners, and stakeholders.”
XPO’s journey from Silver to Gold has been driven by its dedication to continuous improvement and innovation. Notable initiatives include the expansion of the LESS® (Low Emissions Sustainable Solutions) program, offering customers eco-friendly transport options like biofuels and multimodal solutions that reduce carbon emissions. In addition, XPO has bolstered its environmental and ethical practices through enhanced employee training, strong risk management, the creation of a comprehensive Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) scorecard, and participation in the United Nations Global Compact Project.
The company’s success has also been fueled by its adoption of cutting-edge technology, which has optimized routes and reduced empty miles, significantly decreasing its environmental footprint while enhancing service efficiency. These efforts align with XPO’s broader strategy to achieve carbon neutrality in Europe by 2050.
The EcoVadis Gold Medal is not just a recognition of past accomplishments but a pledge to future growth and sustainability leadership. XPO’s efforts span all four pillars of the EcoVadis assessment: Environment, Labor and Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement. By advancing in each of these areas, XPO is setting new benchmarks for the logistics industry in Europe.
XPO’s comprehensive service offerings include full and part load transport, managed transport, last-mile delivery, international logistics, and contract logistics, all powered by advanced technology. The company remains at the forefront of innovation and sustainability, continuing its mission to build a greener and more efficient logistics network. XPO will leverage this momentum to further enhance its CSR strategy, meeting future challenges while delivering outstanding value to its customers and stakeholders.
