Greenwich, Connenticut, USA: XPO Logistics has been named a Green 75 Supply Chain Partner by Inbound Logistics magazine — marking the sixth straight year the company has been honoured as an industry leader in sustainability.
Malcolm Wilson, chief executive, XPO Logistics Europe, said, “We thank Inbound Logistics for recognizing XPO’s commitment to reducing the environmental footprint of our operations. We continue to explore innovative ways to operate as a more sustainable company, which helps our customers achieve their green objectives as well.”
XPO is one of 75 companies honoured by Inbound Logistics in 2021 for helping shippers maintain environmentally conscious supply chain operations. Details about the company’s logistics automation, fleet emission technologies, sustainable packaging and other environmental initiatives can be found in its Sustainability Report.
XPO intends to spin off its logistics segment in the third quarter of 2021 as GXO Logistics, creating two, pure-play industry powerhouses. The separation would create independent public companies with distinct investment identities and service offerings in vast addressable markets. GXO would be the second largest contract logistics company in the world, and XPO would be a leading provider of transportation services, primarily less-than-truckload transportation and truck brokerage.
