The company has set ambitious near-term climate commitments, including the use of Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) for trucks servicing IKEA distribution centres in New Jersey and Maryland. This initiative, which began in 2023 and is expected to continue through 2025, aims to reduce over 600 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually, contributing to their net-zero goals for both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. Overall, Landstar's commitment to reducing its carbon footprint is evident through its strategic initiatives and ongoing monitoring of emissions across all scopes.
