One Spot for the Greater Good
Just as our team of logistics professionals is dedicated to providing around-the-clock confidence for our customers, we are driven to implement solutions that have a positive societal and environmental impact through our Environmental, Social and Governance programs.
Fueled By Talent, Driven By Passion
At Spot, we’re on a mission to redefine what it means to move goods, proving that efficiency isn’t just about speed but also about environmental responsibility and the well-being of our people.
A Sustainable Future
Our dedication to sustainable practices is recognized by industry leaders. In 2022, SmartWay, a prestigious environmental program by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, gave Spot a six on a scale of 1-10 out of over 800 logistics companies evaluated. This impressive achievement, with an estimated carbon dioxide emission of 1650 grams per mile, is a testament to our dedication to operating and reducing our environmental impact.
Philanthropy
At Spot, success extends beyond business metrics. Throughout 2023, our employees actively engaged in community activities, demonstrating our commitment to social responsibility and making a tangible difference in the lives of others.
Gleaners Virtual Food Drive
In 2023, Spot’s Indianapolis team actively demonstrated their commitment to fighting hunger by proudly participating in Gleaners’ annual food drive. Their efforts raised several thousand dollars, directly aiding individuals and families struggling with food insecurity within the local community.
Indianapolis Cultural Trail Clean-up
The Indianapolis Cultural Trail is a non-profit organization that continuously works to preserve and improve the Culture Trail to remain a top-notch public area for the community. More than 40 teammates participated in weeding plant beds, spreading mulch, picking up trash, and more over a two day span.
Joshua House: Lending a Helping Hand
Teammates from our Tampa office and a few other local organizations had the opportunity to help the Friends of Joshua House Foundation, Inc. with its monthly “SERVE” Saturday event. This consisted of helping with landscaping around the property, maintaining some of the houses, and putting together some gathering rooms for the kids.
Making Strides Against Breast Cancer
In 2023, Spot participated in walks in each of our locations to benefit cancer research. The money raised will fund research to discover more effective treatments and vital patient support to help connect people with breast cancer screenings, diagnostics, treatment assistance, and more.
