United Parcel Service Inc. said it is targeting a 50% reduction in carbon-dioxide emissions per package delivered in 2035 compared with last year for its global small-package operations.

The delivery giant laid out the interim sustainability targets ahead of its investor-and-analyst conference that is set to begin at 9 a.m. ET on Wednesday.

The company also said it is setting a 2035 target for all its facilities to be powered by renewable energy and for 30% of the fuel used in its global air fleet to be sustainable aviation fuel.
