The company’s latest Corporate Responsibility
Report showcases its positive progress toward goals and commitment
to reaching sustainability milestones
In today’s world, where the choices companies make matter more
than ever, Schneider National, Inc. (NYSE: SNDR), a premier
multimodal provider of transportation, intermodal and logistics
services, stands at the forefront of corporate responsibility.
Today, the company released a comprehensive Corporate
Responsibility Report (CRR), which highlights how Schneider is
furthering its efforts to minimize its environmental footprint,
support customers and empower associates.
“We continue to demonstrate what it means to be a leader in
corporate responsibility – advancing not just our own priorities
but also helping customers meet their sustainability goals,” said
Schneider President and CEO Mark Rourke. “Whether it’s operating
safely, being good stewards of resources, enriching our culture and
fostering inclusivity, or making our communities stronger, we
continue to make impactful strides toward our corporate
responsibility objectives.”
Schneider is working toward four sustainability goals (2019
baseline):
- Reduce CO2 emissions by 7.5% per mile by 2025.
- Achieve a 60% reduction in CO2 emissions per mile by 2035.
- Double its Intermodal size by 2030.
- Reach net zero status in all company-owned facilities by
2035.
In 2023, the company made progress cutting greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions and lessening its overall environmental impact,
attracting and maintaining a diverse workforce, supporting the
communities where its associates live and work, and continuing to
conduct operations responsibly.
Notable progress across Schneider throughout 2023 included:
- Sustainability goals progress:
- Schneider achieved a 7% reduction of emissions per mile,
meaning it has already accomplished 90% of its 2025 goal.

continuing to provide greater transparency into the business.
- Battery electric vehicle (BEV) fleet:

trucks, the carrier opened a large-scale charging depot at its
South El Monte Operations Center in California.
- Schneider’s BEV fleet surpassed 1.5 million zero emission miles
in 2023.
- Supporting customers in achieving sustainability
goals:

building toward a more sustainable future.

workforce:
