UPS today released its fourth annual Corporate Sustainability Report tracking the company’s progress on balancing a variety of economic, social and environmental objectives.

The report, based on 2005 data, shows UPS has continued to pursue its business sustainability goals by posting improvements in several important areas such as improved environmental practices throughout its operations, reduced on-the-job injury rates and increases in global employee volunteerism and charitable giving.

Leo Suggs, the president of UPS Freight, has announced he will retire at the end of this year and effective immediately will devote the next five months to a broad service quality initiative at the national trucking concern.

UPS has named Gordon Mackenzie, most recently the senior vice president and chief operating officer of UPS Freight, as president. Mackenzie had held the position of chief operating officer since he joined Overnite Transportation in 1996. UPS acquired Overnite in August of 2005 and subsequently rebranded the unit as UPS Freight.

Before joining Overnite, Mackenzie served as senior vice president and chief operating officer of Preston Trucking Company Inc., from 1993 to 1996. He also held various executive positions with Standard Trucking Company, Ryder/PIE Nationwide, Inc., and Transcon Lines, Inc.
