Significant gapsPending Review

XPO has not disclosed group-wide emissions data since 2021 despite operating over 1 million tonnes of annual Scope 1 emissions. North American operations lack any reduction targets, while European divisions report selectively. California hazardous materials violations and stale disclosure gaps define a company avoiding meaningful climate accountability.
