Environment

At UPS, we believe that good business practices and sound business strategies can lead to stronger, healthier environments. Our track record continues to prove that working green and working smart are synonymous...and the combination can touch people, the planet and profitability in very beneficial ways.

Our World Class Philosophy is Recognized by Others as Well:

  • In 2006, UPS once again was the only delivery company to be included in the Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations list. This list acknowledges UPS as a company that produces an overall positive impact on society and the environment.
  • FORTUNE magazine's 2006 "America's Most Admired" survey named UPS the most socially responsible company in America. This marks the seventh time UPS has been listed among the top ten socially responsible companies since 1994.
  • The company was once again listed in the FTSE5Good and Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes. These indexes evaluate companies based on specific sustainability criteria.

Our responsibility for the environment ranges from the construction, maintenance and operation of our facilities, to the maintenance and operation of our vehicles and aircraft, to the conservation of resources.
