Today’s logistics industry is responsible for 8% of global carbon emissions – many of which are avoidable. In the United States, 1% of total freight emissions come from empty trucks alone.
Sustainability
Sustainable supply chains start here
We’re committed to a greener global supply chain. By 2040, we aim to shift 80% of our global brokerage shipments to clean transportation. By 2030, our global corporate operations aim to achieve net-zero climate emissions.
Decarbonizing global supply chains is enormously complex
Uber Freight is serious about changing the industry’s emissions trajectory, and has invested heavily into the technology, research, and relationships required to do it. Alongside thousands of global brands and one of the largest networks of carriers, making a real impact on supply chain emissions is possible.
Sustainability requires visibility.
You can’t fix what you can’t measure. That’s why Uber Freight offers customers next generation emissions visibility. The Uber Freight Emissions Dashboard equips customers with a holistic view over their operations, allowing them to monitor emissions across the entirety of their supply chain and account for all modes of transportation – sea to sky.

Sustainability and efficiency go hand-in-hand.
With efficiency-boosting capabilities like shipper collaboration, LTL pooling, and continuous moves, trucks spend less time empty— optimizing your freight and reducing your carbon footprint.
Since the beginning of 2023, Uber Freight has eliminated a total of ~2.3M empty miles—and we can do much more.

Sustainability is a team sport.
Eliminating carbon emissions hinges on our industry’s ability to collaborate and simplify the adoption of sustainable practices.
More sustainable shipping options—electric trucks, autonomous vehicles, rail, and even better routing—are within reach. That’s why we’ve formed strategic partnerships with organizations paving the way for increased efficiency and sustainability in freight. Leveraging our vast ecosystem, we’re able to serve as the connective tissue across technology, capacity, freight, infrastructure, and more.
Sustainability starts with us
In addition to our global brokerage commitment, we aim to achieve net-zero climate emissions across our global corporate operations by 2030. This includes investments to offset emissions from the use of our corporate real estate and data centers along with employee travel.
