Covenant Logistics has released its 2024 Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Report, reinforcing the company’s ongoing commitment to environmental responsibility, sustainable innovation, and community stewardship. The fifth-annual report outlines Covenant’s growing impact across freight decarbonization, supplier sustainability, and strategic partnerships with industry leaders, nonprofits, and local communities.

Covenant’s environmental progress in 2024 included the use of over 1.1 million gallons of renewable diesel and expanded deployment of trucks running on 100% biodiesel (B100), offering near-zero Scope 1 emissions for select customers. Through strategic investment in electric yard tractors, solar energy, white roofing systems, and expanded route optimization, the company continues to reduce greenhouse gas emissions across its footprint.

The company’s long-standing relationship with TRANSTEX has contributed to significant aerodynamic efficiency improvements—reducing approximately 196,000 metric tons of CO₂ since 2010. In 2024 alone, TRANSTEX-equipped trailers saved 2.3 million gallons of fuel and eliminated 24,295 metric tons of carbon emissions.

Covenant has also eliminated more than 176,000 empty trailer miles through its partnership with Chattanooga-based REPOWR, helping reduce waste and enhance freight utilization. Additional sustainability initiatives include investments in cloud computing to reduce server energy loads, continued use of electric auxiliary power units (eAPUs), and direct engagement with OEMs to pilot scalable zero-emission freight solutions.

The company’s 2025 goals reflect an ambition to lead its industry through this transition. These include improving fleet fuel economy by 20% by 2030, reducing idle time by 35%, and ensuring that 60% of all new fleet purchases are carbon-neutral by 2040.

Beyond operations, Covenant’s commitment to community engagement remains strong. The company continues to participate in national environmental observances like Earth Day across its locations and maintains active involvement in nonprofit collaborations, including NACFE (North American Council for Freight Efficiency), to drive cross-industry innovation.

As a highlight of this year’s progress, Inbound Logistics named Covenant a 2025 G75 Green Supply Chain Partner—a prestigious recognition awarded to 75 organizations that demonstrate leadership in environmentally responsible logistics practices. This honor joins Covenant’s receipt of the 2024 SmartWay® Excellence Award and a Bronze EcoVadis certification, positioning the company among the most sustainability-focused carriers in North America.

“Being named a G75 Green Supply Chain Partner and earning top EPA and EcoVadis recognition confirms that our approach—practical, transparent, and collaborative—is working,” said Matt McLelland, Vice President of Sustainability and Innovation. “We believe industry transformation happens through partnership. We’re proud to lead by example.”

Covenant’s 2025 CSR Report highlights how long-term thinking, intentional innovation, and values-based leadership are creating a more sustainable logistics future.
