SASB RESULTS
*Averitt’s current GHG strategy emphasizes fleet efficiency, renewable fuels, and ongoing testing of alternative fuel vehicles to reduce the total volume of fuel consumed, the largest source of GHG emissions in Averitt’s operations. The strategy includes a commitment to using the newest equipment (avg. Class 8 tractor age of three years), fleet-wide use of aerodynamic equipment, efficient driver training, route optimization (potential 30% reduction in pickup and delivery miles), idle reduction (automatic shutoff after three minutes), and a robust maintenance program that includes automatic regular filter and oil changes and tire inflation, both of which contribute to lower fuel consumption. **Averitt has a comprehensive strategy for driver and associate health and safety with industry-leading results. The strategy includes support for driver health, including personal medical health benefits with wellness incentives, a free sleep apnea program for associates, extensive safety training for drivers, safety surveillance programs to maintain driver health & wellness, an associate assistance program to support behavioral health issues, continuous training to support a safe workplace, and modified duties for associates recovering from a work injury. ***SASB Road Transportation guidance does not require inclusion of Scope 2 emissions. Averitt has inventoried Scope 1 and 2 emissions for the past two years and includes both as industry best practice.
