Building a Sustainable Future, One Mile at a Time

 At Forward, sustainability isn’t a buzzword — it’s how we do business. The transportation industry faces big challenges when it comes to reducing emissions and improving efficiency, but we see that as our opportunity to lead.

 

Defining Sustainability

For us, sustainability means building an efficient, future-focused company that reduces waste, embraces innovation, and takes responsibility for its impact. It’s about creating systems that work smarter — for our people, our customers, and the planet.

 

Recognition and Commitment

This year, Forward was named one of America’s Most Responsible Companies by Newsweek. That recognition matters, but it’s just the beginning. Our real goal is transparency — understanding where we can do better and taking action that makes a lasting difference.

 

The Industry Reality

Freight isn’t easy on the environment. Trucks, terminals, and long supply chains add up fast. But we’re not standing still. We’re investing in solutions that make meaningful change possible — because sustainability isn’t someone else’s job. It’s ours.

 

What We’re Doing Now

We’re cutting idle time, reducing energy use, and upgrading our fleet with electric vehicles and safer, more efficient equipment. We’re exploring renewable fuels and working with customers who share our goal of a cleaner supply chain. Every initiative moves us closer to a more sustainable network.

 

What Sustainability Means to Us

At the heart of it, sustainability at Forward means investing in people, innovation, and a cleaner future. It’s about progress with purpose — building a company that moves freight responsibly while helping move the world forward.
