UPS Sustainability Statement Seeks Balance

Based on 2006 data, the UPS reports showed employees contributed 1 million volunteer hours to community projects. The company also maintains the largest alternative-fuel fleet in the industry. It also uses technology tools for routing which have shaved 28.5 million miles from delivery routes during the year.

"This balanced approach to business also is an important element of synchronizing global commerce, which we believe will be one of the most powerful and pervasive economic, social, and environmental forces of the 21st Century," said the UPS statement.
