CR Magazine Names UPS A “Best Corporate Citizen” Ninth Year In Row
May 07 2018 - 1:00PM
UPS (NYSE:UPS) today announced the company has been named to
Corporate Responsibility (CR) Magazine’s annual list of the
“100 Best Corporate Citizens.” The program recognizes the standout
environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance of Russell
1000 companies across the United States and looks at seven
categories: environment, climate change, employee relations, human
rights, governance, finance, and philanthropy & community
support.
This marks the ninth straight year UPS has appeared on the list.
CR Magazine specifically recognized UPS’s sustainability efforts,
ranking the company 17 in the Climate Change category and 13 in the
Environment category, which together compose more than one-third of
the scoring criteria.
This recognition comes on the heels of UPS’s 2017 announcement
of aggressive new sustainability goals. The goals include adding
more alternative fuel and advanced technology vehicles to the UPS
fleet currently at approximately 9,100 specialized vehicles while
increasing the company’s reliance on renewable energy sources.
These goals support UPS’s commitment to reduce its absolute
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from global ground operations 12
percent by 2025.
“Through our ongoing sustainability efforts, UPS aims to
continuously improve the communities in which UPS employees live
and work,” said Tamara Baker, UPS’s chief sustainability
officer and vice president of Environmental Affairs. “We are
honored to be recognized by CR Magazine as a social responsibility
leader along with so many other outstanding organizations.”
CR Magazine partners with the Corporate Responsibility
Association (CRA) to compile its annual “100 Best Corporate
Citizens” list, evaluating publicly available information from
eligible companies across more than 300 performance measure and
disclosure data criteria.
