A major focus of the report is the company’s Green Haul program, which completed its first full year of operations in 2025. The initiative aims to reduce empty truck miles by matching freight loads with existing return routes across STG’s intermodal network.

Through the program, STG completed more than 11,200 Green Haul loads during the year. The company said the effort helped eliminate over 2,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions while also lowering fuel use. Importantly, these gains were achieved without adding new equipment or disrupting existing operations.

The Green Haul program was also named a 2025 Top Supply Chain Project, highlighting growing recognition for sustainable logistics innovation within the sector.

Beyond the Green Haul initiative, the STG Logistics Sustainability Report detailed several additional measures designed to improve environmental performance.

The company increased its use of intermodal rail transport, which generally produces fewer emissions compared to long-haul trucking. It also continued investing in fleet electrification and introduced more energy-efficient equipment across its facilities.

Warehouse operations also saw changes aimed at improving sustainability. These included the installation of LED lighting, deployment of electric yard trucks, and waste reduction initiatives.

STG said these operational changes are intended not only to reduce environmental impact but also to improve reliability, scalability, and cost efficiency for customers.

The report also emphasized the company’s investment in its workforce. In 2025, employees completed more than 9,500 training courses, averaging 7.5 courses per employee.

The company expanded employee well-being programs and workplace benefits as part of its “People First” approach, which focuses on building a safe and inclusive work environment.

In addition to environmental and workforce efforts, the report highlighted stronger governance measures. STG said it continued improving ESG oversight, cybersecurity protections, and ethics programs to support responsible growth.

Anderman described sustainability as a continuing commitment rather than a single achievement. He said the company plans to keep developing solutions that benefit customers, communities, and the environment while strengthening long-term business resilience.
