OMAHA, Neb., July 27, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Werner Enterprises<\/a>, Inc. (Nasdaq: WERN), a premier transportation and logistics provider, today announced the publication of its inaugural Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Report as part of its Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) effort.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile ESG concepts have long been woven into the fabric of Werner\u2019s history, the release of our inaugural CSR Report further elevates our commitment to conducting business in a socially and environmentally responsible manner,\u201d said Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Derek Leathers. \u201cLast year, we made the commitment to embed Sustainability into our strategy and decision-making process, formally launched our ESG program and committed to several near- and longer-term ESG goals, including publishing an inaugural CSR Report. This Report serves to memorialize the decades of work already accomplished in this area and sets the stage for continued value creation as we hold ourselves to a higher level of leadership and accountability.\u201d<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s update reflects significant progress following Werner\u2019s November 2020 announcement<\/a>, where the Company publicly formalized its commitment to ESG, including announcing goals and publishing a dedicated presentation<\/a>. The Company\u2019s commitment to Sustainability is evident in its 5Ts + S Strategy, which represents its focus and investment in Trucks, Trailers, Talent, Terminals, Technology and Sustainability. The Sustainability component was added in 2020 to reinforce Werner\u2019s dedication to remaining at the forefront of the trucking and transportation industry.<\/p>\n
