Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
BASIS OF PRESENTATION	BASIS OF PRESENTATION C.H. Robinson Worldwide, Inc. and our subsidiaries (“the company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) are a global provider of transportation services and logistics solutions operating through a network of offices located in North America, Europe, Asia, Oceania, South America, and the Middle East. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of C.H. Robinson Worldwide, Inc. and our majority owned and controlled subsidiaries. Our minority interests in subsidiaries are not significant. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. Our reportable segments are North American Surface Transportation (“NAST”) and Global Forwarding, with all other segments included in All Other and Corporate. The All Other and Corporate reportable segment includes Robinson Fresh, Managed Services, Other Surface Transportation outside of North America, and other miscellaneous revenues and unallocated corporate expenses. For financial information concerning our reportable segments, refer to Note 8, Segment Reporting. The condensed consolidated financial statements, which are unaudited, have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In our opinion, these financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Consistent with SEC rules and regulations, we have condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. You should read the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS	RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which expands reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker. The guidance in this ASU is effective for all public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effects adoption of this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The guidance in this ASU expands the disclosure requirements for income taxes by requiring greater disaggregation of information in the income tax rate reconciliation and disaggregation of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The guidance in this ASU is effective for all public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effects adoption of this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.
GOODWILL	Goodwill is tested at least annually for impairment on November 30, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. We first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of our reporting units is less than their respective carrying value (“Step Zero Analysis”). If the Step Zero Analysis indicates it is more likely than not that the fair value of our reporting units is less than their respective carrying value, an additional impairment assessment is performed (“Step One Analysis”). As part of our 2023 annual impairment test, we determined that the fair value of our reporting units exceeded their respective carrying values and our goodwill balance was not impaired. In the second quarter of 2024, we identified qualitative and quantitative factors indicating that the fair value of our Europe Surface Transportation reporting unit may not exceed its carrying value requiring an interim Step One Analysis. As a result of our interim Step One Analysis, we determined that the fair value of our Europe Surface Transportation reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by less than 5 percent and its $29.2 million goodwill balance was not impaired. Our interim Step One Analysis was completed using a combination of the market approach and a discounted cash flow analysis. The market approach was completed to determine the fair value of the Europe Surface Transportation business, excluding its proprietary technology platform, and was based upon available third-party offers to acquire the business at the measurement date. As the offers to acquire the business did not include the sale of a technology platform necessary to run the business, a discounted cash flow analysis was completed to determine the fair value of the Europe Surface Transportation proprietary technology platform. The computed fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by less than 5 percent and therefore the judgments, key assumptions, and third-party offers to acquire the business are inherently sensitive inputs to our interim Step One Analysis. A negative change to the Europe Surface Transportation market could have negatively impacted the third-party offers to acquire the business used in our interim Step One Analysis although as noted in Note 14, Subsequent Events, the Company has entered into an agreement to sell the business excluding its proprietary technology platform. A change to the timing or cash outflows needed for a market participant to implement a comparable technology platform and changes to our computed discount rate are the primary factors that could reasonably be expected to negatively affect the fair value determined by our discounted cash flow analysis. We will continue to monitor any changes to the assumptions included in our discounted cash flow analysis in future periods as needed. There were no changes in circumstances or events identified in the second quarter of 2024 indicating that an interim impairment analysis was required for any other reporting units as of June 30, 2024.
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT Accounting guidance on fair value measurements for certain financial assets and liabilities requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories: •Level 1 — Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. •Level 2 — Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. •Level 3 — Unobservable inputs reflecting the reporting entity’s own assumptions or external inputs from inactive markets. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
