Sustainability at RXO
At RXO, we embed sustainability criteria into our strategy, operations, governance and technology. Features on our RXO Connect™ platform (Reloads, Roundtrips, Plan Next Move) and in the RXO Drive™ app (Get Me Home) help RXO actively lower our trucking industry’s carbon footprint.
SmartWay
We’re certified with the EPA’s SmartWay program, which helps companies advance supply chain sustainability through measuring, benchmarking and improving transportation efficiency.
Carrier Grants
We help our carriers secure grants and incentives that support sustainability, like electrification, alternative fuel tax credits and green trucking accessories.
Ship Net-Zero
Through our Ship Net-Zero program, shippers can offset their freight’s carbon footprint by investing in the sustainability project of their choice.

Diversity, equity and inclusion
At RXO we’re committed to maintaining a safe and rewarding work environment with active listening at the core. We are expert problem solvers through diverse teams and diverse partner suppliers. Through open communication, we’re better equipped to understand our culture and celebrate the individuality within it.
We welcome everyone regardless of race, background, identity, or ability. We take pride in our commitment to foster a safe and inclusive workplace that encourages a diversity of backgrounds and perspectives at every level across the organization.
We mandate fair treatment and equitable opportunities for all individuals, and understand that having a diversity of talents, identities, backgrounds, and experiences at RXO is key to driving innovation and growth.
Supplier diversity
We work with nearly 4,000 active diverse-owned partner carriers, helping them grow their business with RXO. We also help shippers improve their use and tracking of diverse transportation suppliers.

In what has traditionally been a male-driven industry, RXO continues to recruit and champion our female workforce. We commit to gender equity with initiatives like “WISE” – our Women’s Inclusion Series.
