UPS top green rankings
UPS beat all its peers in the consumer shipping sector of the annual “Climate Counts” scorecard and was rated number 11 among all 143 ranked companies, reports Atlanta Business Chronicle. UPS ranked number one in the consumer shipping sector, beating FedEx, Deutsche Post World Net/DHL and USPS.
“The top ranking highlights the major strides we’ve taken to credibly report and minimise our environmental impact,” said Bob Stoffel, UPS senior vice president of supply chain, strategy, engineering and sustainability. “For example, in 2009 we introduced several new green packaging and shipping services including the UPS carbon neutral program, the first such option available to offset the climate impact of shipping within the United States.”
Climate Counts ranks the world’s largest companies based on 22 criteria that focus on measuring and reducing climate impact, corporate support of public policy initiatives on climate change and openness and transparency in reporting.
