UPS (NYSE:UPS) today announced the induction of 1,412 men and
women into the Circle of Honor, an elite group of UPS drivers who
have been among the safest drivers on the road, and have not had an
avoidable accident for 25 years or more. With those new inductees,
the Circle of Honor now includes 10,779 of UPS’s active brown-clad
drivers.
As a global pandemic made their services more important than
ever, UPS drivers continued to help deliver three percent of the
world’s GDP – averaging over 20 million packages per day in 2020,
from important documents and just-in-time business inventory, to
food, clothing and even critical PPE along with millions of doses
of the COVID-19 vaccine. Safe driving is a focus for all UPS
drivers, who as a group log close to 3.5 billion miles per year and
deliver 5.5 billion packages annually. Collectively, active UPS
Circle of Honor drivers have driven about 15 billion miles without
so much as a fender-bender.
“I send my sincere appreciation to all of our drivers, and a
special ‘Thank You’ to our Circle of Honor members. Your commitment
to safety is part of what makes UPS great,” said UPS CEO Carol
Tomé.
In addition to drivers in the U.S., this year’s Circle of Honor
incudes new members from Canada, Denmark, Germany, Hong Kong,
Mexico, Singapore and Taiwan.
