Today, at an event celebrating civil rights leader John Lewis,
UPS’s chief corporate affairs, communications and sustainability

first tree planting toward its new commitment to plant 50 million
trees by 2030. UPS volunteers, and a dozen more from the greater
Atlanta community, planted trees and seedlings in Freedom Park
surrounding John Lewis Plaza. It marks the first of 14 planned UPS
projects in collaboration with the Arbor Day Foundation in cities
across the U.S. and additional projects are being planned in
international locations.
