Forward Air Releases Updated Environmental, Social and Governance Report Via New Dedicated Website

Forward Air Corporation (NASDAQ: FWRD) (the “Company” or “Forward”) is executing a growth strategy that involves organic infrastructure investments, such as its ongoing LTL network expansion, as well as inorganic investments, including acquisitions of complementary businesses. Today, Forward announced the release of its updated Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) report, providing a detailed overview of the Company’s ESG commitments through a new ESG-specific website.

In March, 2021, Forward published its first ESG report, signaling the Company's commitment to building an operational model focused on sustainability, governance and accountability. The Company’s 2022 ESG report reinforces Forward’s intent to make a positive impact on its business, its people and the environment.

Tom Schmitt, Chairman, President and CEO, said, "Last year, we laid out our top ten priorities with our first ESG report. This year’s report sets baselines and some ambitious targets – including a 42% reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. ESG reporting encourages us to continue striving for progress – to be more diverse, to be more environmentally conscious, and most importantly to be a safer workplace with a net positive impact on our communities – doing the right things the right way.”

The Company’s 2022 ESG report includes measurable targets, goals and data that reflect SASB and GRI guidance. The report and new website are accessible through Forward's investor relations site here.
