Our purpose, "Connecting people, improving lives" encapsulates our contributions to economic participation, prosperity, trade, communities, and to a better world. Since 2011, our purpose has fostered a culture of commitment and pride among our employees, providing the impetus to make a lasting positive global impact. Prosperity and economic participation are not a given – it is companies like ours that drive up productivity and eliminate waste in global supply chains, thus allowing for higher wages and lower cost of goods and services.
With our business, we enable global trade and drive growth and prosperity for a better future. Our purpose makes us keenly aware of our role in keeping the world running and goods moving, while ensuring that we protect the planet and minimize our environmental impact. Logistics makes a significant contribution to the creation of prosperity. Export-driven economic development elevated well over one billion people out of
poverty over the past decades.In our communities, it is our colleagues around the world who are committed to bringing our purpose to life. Our company supports this engagement with special Corporate Citizenship programs that extend beyond mere charitable efforts.
