C. H. ROBINSON WORLDWIDE, INC. (CHRW)

C.H. Robinson Worldwide, Inc. is one of the world's largest global logistics companies, generating $24.7 billion in consolidated total revenues in 2022 while handling approximately 20 million shipments for roughly 100,000 customers across North America, Europe, Asia, Oceania, and South America. The company connects customers, carriers, and suppliers through its proprietary Navisphere technology platform, working with approximately 96,000 contracted transportation providers including motor carriers, railroads, and ocean and air carriers. C.H. Robinson operates through two reportable segments—North American Surface Transportation (NAST), which provides truckload and LTL brokerage services across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, and Global Forwarding, which offers ocean freight, air freight, and customs brokerage through an international office network—along with an All Other and Corporate segment encompassing Robinson Fresh (sourcing of fresh produce and perishables, tracing to the company's 1905 founding), Managed Services (led by the TMC division's Managed TMS offering), and Europe Surface Transportation.

Transportation services accounted for approximately 97 percent of adjusted gross profits in 2022, with truckload, LTL, ocean, air, customs, and other logistics services comprising the mode mix, while sourcing (Robinson Fresh) contributed about three percent. The company differentiates itself through its people and customer relationships, global service suite, scale, data/technology advantages (including its Navisphere platform, Robinson Labs innovation tools like Procure IQ, Emissions IQ, and Market Rate IQ), network breadth, proven processes, and financial stability, competing against a highly fragmented landscape of logistics companies, trucking firms, freight brokers, NVOCCs, IACs, and freight forwarders, as well as produce brokers and wholesalers in its sourcing business. The company operates primarily as a non-asset-based service provider, contracting rather than owning transportation equipment, and is subject to regulation by agencies including the U.S. DOT, FMC, TSA, CBP, and USDA under PACA, along with data privacy and anti-corruption laws.

As of December 31, 2022, C.H. Robinson employed 17,399 people across more than 38 countries, with human capital strategy guided by its EDGE values and DEI initiatives tracked against 2025 diversity goals for workforce representation and leadership.
