“We are proud to be recognized for the transparency of our environmental
reporting in the Carbon Disclosure Project,” said Bob Fatovic, who
oversees Ryder’s environmental, health, and safety functions and is the
Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer. “Whether
it’s deploying alternative fuel vehicles, optimizing distribution
networks, or operating energy-efficient warehouses, Ryder helps
customers reduce emissions and drive long-term value for their
businesses.”
The Company earned its position on the index by achieving a perfect
score of 100 in disclosing carbon emissions and energy data through
CDP’s climate change program. The top 10 percent of companies
independently assessed against CDP’s scoring methodology constitute the
CDLI. At the request of 822 investors who represent US$95 trillion in
assets, thousands of companies submit annual climate disclosures to CDP.
Top scores indicate a high level of transparency in the disclosure of
climate change-related information, providing investors with a level of
comfort to assess corporate accountability and preparedness for changing
market demands and emissions regulation.

solutions to companies of all sizes that ease complexity, increase
efficiency, and keep goods and materials flowing so that the economy can

Ryder, they can tap into the Company’s expertise, infrastructure, and
investment in the latest technologies to make them more efficient and
