Ryder Continues to Deliver Upon Corporate Social Responsibility Commitments


Ryder System, Inc. (NYSE: R), a leader in supply chain, dedicated transportation, and fleet management solutions, announces significant accomplishments in ongoing efforts to reduce its environmental impact, invest in new technologies, and cultivate talent.

These and other industry-leading practices are detailed in "Impact for Good," the latest Ryder Corporate Sustainability Report (CSR), showcasing the company's commitment to efforts related to its environment, social, and corporate governance (ESG) initiatives. This new digital report also reinforces the company's strategic sustainability strategy and significant accomplishments to improve upon its efficiencies to reduce both its environmental footprint and those of its customers during January 1, 2019, through December 31, 2020.

"For the last 87 years, Ryder's core values of trust, innovation, expertise, safety, and collaboration have guided how we have done business every day, and how we respond to our customers, employees, and communities," says Ryder Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Robert Sanchez.
