September 27 2022 - 1:10PM
Werner Enterprises (Nasdaq: WERN), a premier transportation and
logistics provider, proudly announces the publication of its
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Update Report as part of its
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) efforts.
“Although ESG has always impacted the way we do
business, our inaugural CSR report released last year helped us to
further integrate ESG with our overall business strategy, thus
creating a holistic alignment,” said Werner’s Chairman, President
and CEO Derek Leathers. “This CSR Update Report is not only a
benchmark of the progress we’ve achieved, but also an illustration
of the promises and goals we have for the future.”
The CSR Update Report continues the introduction
of the “Werner Drive” initiative (Durable, Results, Innovation,
Values, ESG), which incorporates sustainability, capital
allocation, an outcome-oriented approach to operations, a drive to
innovate and a culture that supports and values team members.
