CEO’S STATEMENT
As I look back on the growth and expansion of MODE Global, I am honored to be the steward of the path for so many exceptional logistics professionals. Stepping into leadership at MODE gave me the privilege of taking the reins of several trusted organizations: Avenger Logistics, MODE Transportation and SUNTECKtts. Each of these companies had its own history, strengths and identity. My ambition was clear and simple: to bring them together as a unified family of brands and chart a shared path forward to even greater success.
It is no secret that the freight industry has faced significant headwinds in recent years; however, these challenges have pushed us to be more resilient, more agile and more forward‑thinking. Even amid these pressures, the MODE enterprise has not just persevered; we’ve advanced, strengthening our technology and harnessing AI to drive meaningful productivity improvements.
Our teams are passionate and committed. They are endlessly resourceful and have been the driving force behind the momentum that is propelling us forward. Together, our organization delivers an extensive range of solutions that give customers the advantages of specialized capabilities combined with a seamless, integrated experience.
As we continue shaping the future of MODE Global, we remain dedicated to cultivating a data‑driven mindset and elevating our digital tools to support ambitious growth. Our goal is to deliver unparalleled customer focus and build platforms that make working with MODE Global intuitive, efficient and frictionless across every touchpoint.
Today, MODE is the trusted partner in logistics for leading brands around the world. Join us and let’s unlock new opportunities for success — together.
Best, Lance Malesh President and CEO

ESG
Environmental
As a leading third-party logistics firm, we understand the importance of our environmental stewardship. MODE is actively working with clients to advance sustainable shipping methods through intermodal conversion, route optimization and fuel-efficient alternatives. We were awarded the PepsiCo Broker Sustainability Carrier of the Year for two consecutive years. Additionally, SBTi has approved our near term science based emissions reduction target of reducing scope 1 and scope 2 GHG emissions 42% by 2030 from a 2022 base year, and to measure and reduce our scope 3 emissions.
Social
Through partnerships with community and industry organizations, MODE makes social initiatives part of our everyday operations. Whether our ACT committee is hosting information sessions on how to spot trafficking victims or gathering school supply donations for our communities, we’re committed to doing our part.
Governance
Ensuring our corporate governance policies and procedures encourage and foster trust, transparency and commitment to the highest standards of integrity is our focus. To do that, we seek outside validation through third-party assessments such as EcoVadis, which recognized MODE’s programs as “Committed,” placing us in the top 63% of companies evaluated. Additionally, we were awarded the Navex Customer Excellence Award for our Compliance and Risk programs two years in a row.

DEI
Diversity
Our approach to DE&I is to always keep learning because knowledge is power. To back this up, we offer opportunities for our employees to educate themselves through cultural events and activities throughout the year, celebrating everything from Pride to Global Diversity Awareness. We also offer reimbursement for the purchase of selected books on diverse topics to ensure our team members are growing in knowledge alongside us on our journey.
Equity
Historically, we know not everyone starts from the same place given their unique personal experiences. At MODE Global and across our family of companies, we are dedicated to making sure the path is even and unobstructed for everyone to end up in a successful place.
Inclusion
Together, we continue to build an inclusive culture that encourages, supports and celebrates our diverse talents, perspectives and backgrounds. We recognize that the principles of diversity, equity and inclusion not only strengthen our employees and enhance our communities, they drive business innovation and results. We are committed to maintaining an enriching and supportive climate that allows our employees to thrive and succeed. At MODE, our success depends on a myriad of great minds not always thinking alike.
