UPS Recognized As A Verge Vanguard Award Honoree
September 18 2018 - 10:00AM
GreenBiz Group today named UPS as one of the 2018 “VERGE Vanguard
Award honorees,” based on a global search for leaders who are
accelerating an equitable transition to a clean power grid, a
zero-emissions transportation system and the circular economy.
The 20 individuals and organizations being recognized with the
VERGE Vanguard Award hail from large corporations reinventing
business as usual, startups rewriting the “rules” and organizations
shattering silos to foster a more inclusive and sustainable
future.
The transition to a sustainable and low-carbon economy won’t
happen without visionaries and leaders,” said Joel Makower,
chairman and executive editor at GreenBiz Group. "The VERGE
Vanguard award honors those who are showing the way, setting the
path for companies, cities and all of us to follow. We are pleased
to honor this year’s cohort as exemplars of the important and
inspiring change we all want to see in the world.”
A dozen of this year’s roster includes some of the world’s
largest companies, including Apple, Google, Tesla, Adidas, UPS,
C&A and more. View the full VERGE Vanguard honoree list here:

“UPS has long focused on reducing the company’s carbon footprint
and greenhouse gas emissions – our leadership and innovation in the
area of deploying alternative fuel and advanced technology vehicles
and the infrastructure needed to support them is at the center of
that effort,” said Tamara Barker, UPS chief sustainability officer
and vice president of environmental affairs. “We are honored to
receive this award, which is really the result of our ongoing
commitment to environmental sustainability throughout our global
network.”
