U.S. Xpress, Inc's reported carbon emissions

In 2019, U.S. Xpress, Inc., a subsidiary of U.S. Xpress Enterprises, Inc., reported its carbon emissions data, although specific figures for Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions were not disclosed. The company operates with a revenue of approximately $1.71 billion USD, and while it has not set specific reduction targets or disclosed significant achievements in emissions reduction, it does provide a carbon dioxide emissions factor of about 0.103 grams per mile, indicating its operational impact. As a current subsidiary, U.S. Xpress inherits its emissions data and climate commitments from its parent company, U.S. Xpress Enterprises, Inc. However, there are no specific climate pledges or Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) commitments reported at this time. The absence of detailed emissions data suggests that U.S. Xpress is still in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy within the logistics and transportation sector.
