Our Commitment to Human Rights
Human Rights Policy
ArcBest supports every person’s right to safety and security. To affirm our commitment to human rights, we’ve incorporated the Ten Principles of the United Nations Global Compact into our Code of Conduct, which includes our responsibility to prevent human rights abuses.
The Fight against Human Trafficking
Human trafficking is a devastating crime that destroys lives. It occurs every day across our country and around the world, and it intersects with transportation and logistics in several ways. Because of the nature of our industry, drivers and customers are often in locations where human trafficking is prevalent, such as truck stops, hotels, airports and welcome centers. Because of this, we believe we have an obligation to create awareness that helps disrupt these trafficking networks. We’re doing this through partnerships with TAT and Transportation Leaders Against Human Trafficking (TLAHT). Additionally, since 2018, we’ve required all ABF Freight drivers to complete TAT training during onboarding, and all campus employees have access to human trafficking training through our online employee management system.
