XPO, Inc.

​

■

Employee Engagement and Development: XPO’s executive leadership team regularly solicits feedback from employees to gauge satisfaction and encourage constructive suggestions. Each quarter, we ask our “wired” employees to submit their input through an anonymous online satisfaction survey. In the U.S., we also conduct an annual satisfaction survey of our “non-wired” frontline employees and hold regular roundtables and town halls. Based on employee feedback, we develop action plans at the business unit and facility levels to implement targeted improvements. XPO has been named a 2024 “Top Company For Women To Work For In Transportation — Elite 30” by the Women in Trucking Association, a 2024 “StarEmployer by VETS Index, and a “2025 Military Friendly Employer — Gold Ranking” by Viqtory. We emphasize professional development and foster talent through ongoing company initiatives, including XPO Accelerate, our internal driving schools and our XPO Freight Management Training program.

BOARD OVERSIGHT OF SUSTAINABILITY MATTERS

Our commitment to advancing sustainability is reflected in our efforts to continually improve our performance on matters that serve the interests of our stakeholders — our stockholders, customers, employees and the communities in which we work and live. The XPO Board of Directors supports these efforts by providing oversight of, and engagement with management regarding, various sustainability initiatives. Since 2020, the Board’s Nominating, Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee has operated under a charter that describes the Nominating, Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee’s purpose as, in part, overseeing the work of management regarding the development of sustainability strategies and associated performance and disclosures. The chair and members of the Nominating, Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee periodically meet with management to discuss sustainability matters, including the preparation and publication of XPO’s externally facing sustainability disclosures.

BOARD OVERSIGHT OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND CYBERSECURITY RISK MANAGEMENT

Our Board of Directors maintains direct oversight over information technology and cybersecurity risk. Directors receive regular updates from management regarding information technology and cybersecurity governance processes, the status of projects to strengthen internal cybersecurity, and the results of security breach simulations. The Board provides feedback on these matters and also discusses relevant incidents in the industry and the evolving threat landscape. Our Board is informed of all material cybersecurity incidents, and our information security program includes procedures for calling a special session of the Board in the event of a high-risk or critical-risk cybersecurity incident. In addition, our response measures include procedures to provide updates to senior management and the Board in the event of an ongoing incident.

Our company has a robust cybersecurity team overseen by our Chief Information Officer (“CIO”), whose team is responsible for leading enterprise-wide cybersecurity strategy, policy, standards, architecture, threat prevention, threat detection, and incident response processes. The cybersecurity team continuously reviews legislative, regulatory, and technical developments related to cybersecurity, and enhances our information security capabilities in order to protect against potential threats. The information security team provides periodic reports to our CIO, Board of Directors, as well as our CEO and other members of our senior management as appropriate. To foster a strong cybersecurity business environment, our CIO meets regularly with his team and key personnel to share information about potential cybersecurity events, monitor, prevent and detect potential cybersecurity incidents, and develop reports for senior management.

As part of our information security program, our CIO and his team integrate our information security measures and evaluation of potential cybersecurity risks into our company’s overall risk management processes.

In the event that a cybersecurity incident occurs, our incident response team, composed of members of our information security team and other key personnel, identifies, evaluates and quantifies the relevant risk based on available information, and classifies the severity of the cybersecurity incident based on the level of risk to the company. Our measures are regularly evaluated by internal and external experts, with the results of those reviews reported to senior management and the Board. To date, XPO has not experienced any cybersecurity threats or incidents which have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the company.

We are committed to continually improving our detection and recovery processes and have implemented an information security training program that all employees are required to complete at regular intervals. Additionally, our company has obtained an information security risk insurance policy.
