Better Health for All

The company's core business is freight transportation and logistics.

While Forward Air Corporation transports health-related products like pharmaceuticals, life sciences goods, and healthcare equipment, the provided articles do not offer specific metrics on the direct health impact of their services on end-users, nor do they quantify the proportion of their business dedicated to these specific health-related transports. The value definition explicitly states that workplace safety standards do not pertain to 'Better Health for All', which means the provided safety record data for employees and contractors cannot be used. Furthermore, the company does not offer health-related products or services that would require scoring for price accessibility, vulnerable reach, health innovation investment, preventative health measures, healthcare data responsibility, global health crisis response, mental health initiatives, healthcare education, addiction mitigation, clinical trial ethics, pharma patent flexibility, or nutrition and food safety. Therefore, no KPIs can be scored based on the evidence provided.

Fair Money & Economic Opportunity

Forward Air Corporation is a transportation and logistics company, not a financial institution.

The company does not offer lending, deposit, or other financial services to consumers or businesses. Therefore, all KPIs related to financial products, pricing, inclusion, literacy, debt, and geographic access to financial services are not applicable to its operations.

Fair Pay & Worker Respect

For 2024, the ratio of CEO total compensation to median employee compensation was 123.4:1.

In 2022, 47.5% of purchased transportation capacity was provided by Leased Capacity Providers, and in 2023, approximately 61% of Intermodal’s direct transportation expenses were provided by Leased Capacity Providers. Executive officers are eligible to participate in health, dental, disability, and other insurance plans on the same terms and cost as all full-time employees, and severance plans include a lump sum healthcare assistance payment for NEOs.

Kind to Animals

Forward Air Corporation is a transportation and logistics service provider.

Its business model does not involve products requiring cruelty-free certification, animal testing, animal-derived ingredients, or animal agriculture operations. Therefore, the relevant KPIs are scored as N/A. No data on wildlife conservation impact was found in the provided reports.

Safe & Smart Tech

Forward Air Corporation experienced a ransomware attack in December 2020, which potentially exposed sensitive employee data including names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, passport numbers, and bank account numbers.

However, no data was publicly leaked by the threat actors, and no proof of fraudulent use of the data was provided. The company notified affected employees and offered credit monitoring services. Forward Air also notified attorney general offices in California, Vermont, Montana, and New Hampshire regarding the potential data exposure, indicating compliance with state-level data breach notification laws, with no specific regulatory violations or fines mentioned.
