UPS Named One Of America’s Most JUST Companies By Forbes And JUST Capital
December 12 2017 - 10:30AM
UPS (NYSE: UPS) announced today it was named one of America’s Most
JUST Companies by Forbes and JUST Capital, for the second
consecutive year. The second annual JUST 100 ranks the largest
publicly traded corporations in the United States on the issues
Americans care about most, including leadership and ethics, worker
well-being, job creation, supporting communities, supply chain
impact, customer treatment, environmental impact, and more.
The JUST Capital rankings encompass the 1,000 largest
publicly-traded companies in the U.S. The rankings are based on a
comprehensive survey conducted on public attitudes toward corporate
behavior, involving 10,000 American respondents in 2017 and more
than 72,000 over the past three years.
“We are honored to be named one of America’s most JUST
companies,” said Crystal Lassiter, UPS senior director, global
sustainability & environmental affairs. “At UPS, we’re
committed to building for the future – from aggressive
sustainability and charitable goals to helping customers pioneer
sustainable solutions and giving back to the communities we
serve.”
UPS recently announced new sustainability goals to reduce its
absolute greenhouse gas emissions from global ground operations,
add more alternative fuel and advanced technology vehicles to its
fleet, and increase its reliance on renewable energy sources. In
2016, UPS employees, friends and family logged more than 2.7
million volunteer hours toward the company’s commitment to achieve
20 million volunteer hours by the end of 2020. UPS also set a new
goal that in 2020 its annual total contributions will be $127
million, including humanitarian relief and community safety
programs, through The UPS Foundation.
UPS also included safety and its workforce in its new goals,
including a 3 percent reduction to UPS’s already low,
industry-leading statistic of auto accident frequency and a 1
percent improvement for lost-time injury frequency. Nearly 10,000
UPS drivers are a member of the UPS Circle of Honor program, a
distinguished class of individuals who have not had an avoidable
accident in 25 years or longer.
UPS has been honored with several other distinctions this year,
including:
- Recognized as one of the “World’s Most Ethical Companies” by
Ethisphere Institute for the eleventh consecutive year.
- Chosen by CR Magazine as one of “100 Best Corporate Citizens”
for the eighth consecutive year.
- Recognized on the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index for the
fifth consecutive year.
- Named to the Civic 50 for the fourth time.
