2,200 tons of trees...550 tons of solid waste..enough energy to light 19,900 light bulbs...

That's how many natural resources were saved by UPS's 1998 packaging project, which significantly improved the environmental quality of the company's express packaging.

Fleet Management

On the ground and in the air, UPS proves every day that operating efficiencies and environmental benefits go hand-in-hand

From retrofitting our aircraft with advanced technology and fuel-efficient engines that reduce noise...to developing a powerful computer network that efficiently dispatches our vehicles...to using alternative fuels to run them...these are just some of the ways we are ensuring the long term viability of our company for our customers, employees, shareholders and communities.

UPS collaborates with manufacturers, government and non-profit organizations to promote sustainable product transportation.

For Example:

  • UPS is a charter member of the EPA Smartway Transport Program, a voluntary partnership to reduce freight and fleet sector energy consumption, pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions.
  • UPS is a member of Business for Social Responsibility's Clean Cargo Green Freight Working Group, a coalition to develop environmentally preferable transportation practices.

 

In this section, you'll learn more about how UPS manages its fleet of aircraft and delivery vehicles.
